The productivity is real and last week I did not feel like going to work. A year and a half of building an AI-powered company — and the side nobody posts about.

The hardest part of going AI-first was not the tools. It was bonuses tied to hours worked, workflows AI was merely slotted into, and skills nobody had yet.

SWOT hands you a list. A list shows where you are now, not how the world around you will move. Generative AI has 80 years behind it, which makes the next step boringly readable.

56% of people have never automated a single repetitive task. A year of showing them how was not enough. Three things finally moved AI adoption, and none of them was training.
