There\u2019s been a lot of talk in the industry recently\u2014everything from the \u201cdoom cycle of AI\u201d to conflicting opinions on what AI is actually capable of right now. Are we in the trough of disillusionment? Are we overselling the tech? Or are we undervaluing the real impact it\u2019s having behind the scenes? To help break this down, I\u2019m joined by two great guests: Michael Evers, CEO at Thread and Mark Alayev, co-founder and Chief of Magic at Thread. We dig into real-world examples, why so many AI projects are considered \u201cfailures,\u201d and how the key to success just might be integrating AI into actual business workflows, rather than just handing people shiny new tools and hoping for the best. We also touch on the future of AI\u2014not just software, but what happens when it starts interacting in real life. Robots, manufacturing, the evolving workforce\u2014you name it. This is a fun, honest conversation about the messy middle we\u2019re living through, and where we\u2019re headed next with AI. This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro.
