EP 35 | With Sofiya Eremenko | Is a "Copilot" AI Better Than an "Autopilot" One?

In this episode of What About AI Agents, host Philippe Trounev sits down with Sofiya Eremenko, founder of the agency Aimly, to discuss the practical, and sometimes surprising, reality of implementing AI at scale. Sofiya shares her hard-earned insights from working in the vibrant but complex GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region. She dives into her own "failure experience" with a client-facing AI agent that was meant to automate sales follow-ups. The key lesson? Cultural nuances and different dialects, like those found across the Arab world, are too complex for current AI models to handle effectively. Sofiya learned that a polite "Insha'Allah" from a client doesn't mean a follow-up is necessary—it can be a subtle "no." Instead of a full-automation "autopilot," Sofiya’s team found success by building an internal AI "copilot." This agent acts as a powerful knowledge base, helping sales managers quickly get complex product details without needing to consult with different teams. This system reduced the time to respond to a client from an entire day down to a single hour, proving that the most effective AI solutions often support human work rather than replace it. Tune in to hear more of Sofiya’s insights, including her advice on selling AI solutions by focusing on the "wow effect" of simple use cases and the critical importance of extensive testing to safeguard against unexpected outcomes.

Kvarfordt, who teaches people real business impacts using AI, shares his deep expertise on the evolving landscape of AI.The conversation kicks off with Kvarfordt's unique journey into AI, stemming from a decade in sales and enablement. He recounts his early exposure to AI technology and how the release of ChatGPT two and a half years ago spurred him to launch GoToMarketAI Academy, recognizing that most people weren't utilizing AI to its full potential.Kvarfordt dives into the hyper-competitive AI market, emphasizing that companies with small teams are achieving remarkable success by focusing on intuitive and simple user experiences. He argues that this focus drives a "viral network effect," leading users to enthusiastically recommend tools like Lovable and Cursor.A central theme is the debate between vertical and horizontal AI solutions. While horizontal tools can achieve broad adoption, Kvarfordt champions the verticalized approach for many SaaS founders, especially those with limited resources. He posits that deep understanding of a specific persona's problems allows for more tailored solutions and significantly less competition in "blue ocean" vertical markets.#AI #AIAgents #GoToMarket #PromptEngineering #Automation #SaaS #BusinessStrategy #Innovation #Podcast #Podmatch

Tune in to a compelling episode of "What About AI Agents," where host Philippe Trounev sits down with Kristin Zhivago, President of Zhivago Partners and author of "Roadmap to Revenue," named a Forbes Top 6 marketing and sales book. Kristin, a seasoned revenue coach for decades, dives into the critical mistakes companies make when implementing AI. She highlights how automating broken processes or relying on tribal knowledge can lead to a 50% credibility loss and widespread frustration. The conversation stresses that AI agents are not "hands-free" and often make promises on a company's behalf that simply aren't true. Kristin shares a striking example of AI fabricating experience in avionics for her agency, underscoring the vital need for human oversight and rigorous quality assurance, especially since "the whole business world is in beta mode right now." A central theme is the "customer's truth." Kristin champions the importance of understanding customers' true desires, concerns, and questions, revealing that the messaging companies send out often misses the mark. She advocates for external, anonymous customer interviews to uncover these nuances, contrasting them with AI's current inability to grasp such deep human insights. As AI wipes out entire industries, Kristin shares her personal journey of pivoting her own business multiple times due to tech disruptions. She advises entrepreneurs to focus on "what isn't changing" for their customers and to leverage AI to amplify existing core competencies, rather than abandoning them. The episode also touches on the evolving landscape of search, with AI's conversational nature offering a more advisory role compared to traditional search engines.

Tune in to the latest episode of "What About AI Agents," featuring Raj Singh, VP of Product for New Products at Mozilla! 🎧

Join Philippe Trounev as he dives into Raj's extensive experience, from building companies like Pulse (acquired by Mozilla) and Tempo AI (acquired by Salesforce) to his current role leading the launch of Soloist.ai, Mozilla's high-powered AI website builder. Raj shares insights into the massive transformation of the internet due to Generative AI and agentic workflows, highlighting how the sheer volume of AI-generated content is changing search and content consumption. The conversation explores the shifting landscape of content creation, emphasizing the critical role of "vibe creation" and how it's democratizing fractional expertise across various fields, from engineering to design.

Raj introduces his "95% rule," a crucial framework for understanding AI's current capabilities: AI is often 95% accurate, and designing user experiences around this assumption is key. This concept is perfectly illustrated by Solo, Mozilla's AI-powered website builder, which generates the first draft of a website, allowing small business owners to then personalize it. The discussion underscores that while AI significantly augments human productivity, the human element for taste, review, and finalization remains essential, particularly for production-ready solutions.
