Are you treating AI like a search engine, or like an employee? That's the difference between getting generic outputs and building assistants that genuinely help your business scale. Mike Allton joined the Agents of Change Podcast this week to share his process for creating AI assistants—the kind that don't just follow instructions, but challenge assumptions, ask clarifying questions, and operate like trained team members. Here's what separates great AI assistants from mediocre ones: → They're trained to push back on your ideas (not just agree with everything) → They use knowledge files to stay consistent with your brand voice and audience → They're built for specific workflows, not vague "help me with marketing" requests If you're still manually doing tasks you've done 10+ times, this episode will change how you think about delegation.

Just listened to a great podcast with Box CEO Aaron Levie about AI, automation, and the future of work. I found it refreshingly practical and optimistic. The key takeaways for me: — 1) When something becomes cheaper or easier, demand for it rises, not falls. This is known as Jevon’s paradox. In Aaron’s view, companies are doing less work than is “economically useful” because they’re constrained by time and cost of labor. AI mitigates that. So in theory the volume of work should expand. That means if AI lets you review legal contracts twice as fast (for example), you wouldn’t cut your team in half. You’d respond to clients faster, grow billings, perhaps hire MORE people. It’s a growth accelerant rather than a cost cutting tool. Which maps to how previous innovations like this have unfolded. The internet, the personal computer, etc. We didn’t work less. We didn’t cut our teams by 80%. We grew faster. — 2) Given that, how do you build an AI-First Company? First, you explicitly communicate AI as a growth tool, not a tool to replace people. I think for a while firms were doing this because they didn’t want to scare their teams. But according to this perspective it’s literally true. Second, learn from AI in public. At Box, employees demo new AI workflows in their Friday all-hands so the whole company can learn together. Third, use it to change the tempo of your organization. Things used to take 4 weeks, but now they can take 2 days. But the people and processes are currently optimized for that 4 week timeline. So get in the habit of asking what you need to do to redesign your systems to take advantage of the new capabilities. Link to the podcast in comments.

When firms ask, "Which AI tool should we buy?", they might be missing the bigger picture. In this episode of Pearls On, Gloves Off, Goodwin's Mary O'Carroll sits down with Disruptive Edge's David Duncan and Tyler Anderson, two long-time service-firm innovators, to explore how AI is reshaping professional services.
