AI should have us rethinking the entire company structure.
If you started from scratch today, would you keep the same departments, software, meetings, and approval chains?
You can give five teams AI tools and still have a customer/client waiting two weeks while everyone passes things around.
Someone needs the authority to rethink that entire process. Which steps can disappear? What can happen at once? Where do people add the most value?
Start with the outcome then build around what people and AI can do together. THEN figure out the structure.
Even the org chart should be up for discussion...
This is what we believe at @getDAVIDai - and I'd love to chat with you if this resonates!

QuickBooks is the enemy of small business owners.
So I built LazyBooks. Connect your bank and it does the work for you.
$19/mo. QuickBooks is $38/mo and you still do the work yourself.
First 60 days is free - price is locked if you join during launch: lazybooks.com
Dang. Tough game for BYU. I love Bear but those were two extremely costly INTs in the 4th quarter. Lost two chances to tie it and go to overtime. We’ll get ‘em next year!

OpenAI says search-style ChatGPT queries now equal about 20% of Google's volume (pretty insane if it's there already tbh). Not sure where Claude is yet on this.
Everyone should be testing this for their own company: ask ChatGPT the 5 questions customers could ask before they buy. If your competitor(s) get named, that's your new SEO problem. Lmk if you have any questions!

Agentic commerce is going to replace advertising as we know it (or at least revolutionize it)...
My working theory:
→ Personal AI agents eat ad revenue. If my agent is doing the shopping, nobody’s seeing your banner ad.
→ Hyperscalers backfill some of that hole with compute revenue.
→ Commerce and subscriptions have to cover the rest.
That flips the incentives. Agents won’t make money showing you stuff. They’ll make money getting you a better outcome. So they’ll have to keep adding value and keep fighting for better prices, better products, and better deals for the person they work for.
For brands, this changes everything. You’re not marketing to someone scrolling a feed anymore. You’re marketing to an agent that reads your specs, reviews, pricing, and return policy, then compares you to 40 competitors in about a second.
The loudest brand won’t win. The brand an agent can verify is actually the best option will.
Start getting your business ready for that buyer now!

In today's episode of "This Week in AI" I cover @AnthropicAI's latest forays into curing cancer and other diseases, some big moves they have made there, progress with @claudeai, and more. Furthermore, @OpenAI had some interesting news, @Google has a new model, and a few other interesting tidbits. Check it out below!

I love AI as much as anyone but I definitely don’t like seeing this slop around town
it’s kinda ridiculous how much ai generated imagery has already made it into the physical world.. i recently saw a restaurant menu that was obviously ai, billboards, the little sidewalk signs for sure, etc.
once you start noticing it, you simply can’t unsee it. it’s everywhere.
& this is not even close to the beginning.

Love this approach from Proton:
"Proton needs to change in three key ways: accept that an engineers’ job is now to help LLMs write better code, faster; that Proton needs to get to the point where most code is not reviewed by humans but by AI; and to more fundamentally change the company as a whole, and 'commit, as an organization, to the transformation that the moment requires.'"

Quite meta here, but as @hubermanlab intended (also Andrew this is a regular sauna so it gets to 215 Fahrenheit - I added the red light separately; furthermore I am currently sleeping since you said that’s the most important). Btw the book is amazing.

How do you know the AI consulting/implementation company you're hiring actually knows what they're doing?
I'm genuinely concerned about how many companies are investing in AI agents, custom models, and complex implementations without properly vetting the people they're hiring.
It's easier than ever to sound knowledgeable about AI.
Anyone can ask Claude to generate a list of discovery questions, audit frameworks, or technical recommendations before a sales call.
That doesn't necessarily mean they understand how to architect, deploy, secure, or maintain the systems they're selling.
My advice: Interview your AI company.
Yesterday, I was in a pre-kickoff meeting where the client essentially interviewed me.
They asked detailed questions about middleware, integration architecture, our AI agent harnesses, and why we've chosen NVIDIA and Apple hardware for certain local, on-prem deployments.
Here are a few of the technical questions that came up:
"When would you choose an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), an API gateway, or direct service integrations, and why?"
"How does middleware manage the request and response lifecycle?"
"How do you handle scoped dependencies when middleware is instantiated as a singleton?"
"How do you enforce encryption in transit between application and service layers?"
"How would your AI agent harness operate in a fully air-gapped warehouse environment?"
I loved these questions.
They required us to explain our architectural decisions, the tradeoffs involved, and how our systems actually operate.
And I think more companies should be doing this.
If someone is going to have access to your company's data, internal processes, customer information, and critical infrastructure, you should understand what they're building and why.
Ask them to diagram their architecture. Ask what happens when something fails. Ask how they handle security, observability, and maintenance. Ask them why they chose one technology over another.
And if the answers don't make sense, keep asking.
You don't need to be an engineer to hold an AI implementation company accountable.
Please be willing to ask good questions and expect clear, defensible answers.
If you're evaluating an AI company and don't know what to ask, I'd be happy to send you my technical vetting checklist. You can use it with any vendor, including us.
And if we end up working together, even better :)
