    AI Agents vs Assistants: Why Most "AI Experts" Get This Wrong [Computer Scientist Explains]

    Hey! This is Ep137 of Amplify Ai - Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Identity presented by Ronsley Vaz. Hey, AI geeks. It's Ronsley! Most people think they're building AI agents when they're actually just creating glorified assistants. This distinction will make or break your AI strategy in 2025.In this episode, I sit down with Matt Alder from Recruiting Future to break down the real difference between AI hype and reality. As someone who's been coding for 20 years and programmed tractors using GPS back in 2006, I'm sharing what actually works versus what the "fake it till you make it" crowd is pushing.🔥 What You'll Discover: • The critical difference between AI agents and assistants (and why it matters for your business) • Why the current AI development curve is sustainable (despite what doomsayers claim) • The consciousness framework that determines how you'll see AI opportunities • Which AI tools beyond ChatGPT are actually worth your money • How to augment your 20 years of expertise instead of panicking about replacement • The ethical boundaries every business founder must understand Why This Matters: If you're a business founder feeling overwhelmed by AI options or worried about being left behind, this conversation will shift your entire perspective. Stop treating AI like a shiny object and start using it to amplify what already makes you brilliant. Matt asks the hard questions about where humans fit in an AI-driven world, and I give you the practical framework to move from panic to strategy. No fluff, no marketing hype - just real insights from someone who's actually built AI systems. #AIStrategy #BusinessAutomation #AIAgents #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessGrowth #AIImplementation #FutureOfWork #AITools #BusinessFounders #TechLeadership Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction: From Programming Tractors to AI Strategy 01:50 - Why AI Development Speed Caught Everyone Off Guard 02:40 - The Exponential Curve: Is This Pace Sustainable? 04:00 - AI Hype vs Reality: Agents vs Assistants Explained 05:20 - The Marketing Problem with AI "Experts"06:10 - Human-Machine Relationships in Business 07:40 - What Humans Can Do That Machines Can't (For Now) 08:20 - Moving from Panic to Strategy with AI 09:00 - The Consciousness Map: Where Are You Vibrating?10:40 - Collaboration vs Competition Mindset 12:20 - Practical Steps to Get Up to Speed with AI 14:30 - Building on Your Existing 20 Years of Experience 16:00 - Why We Stopped Using ChatGPT Pro 17:10 - Favourite AI Tools: Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok 18:40 - The Hospital Story: When Uncensored AI Matters 19:10 - Your 10-Activity AI Audit Framework 19:50 - About "Amplify AI" BookFind out more at:- https://amplifyais.com/academy- https://wearepodcast.com/- https://amplifyais.com/podcastMuch love,Ronsley

It's Ronsley!Just had a revelation that's going to change how you think about AI in your business forever.Everyone's chasing the latest AI tools, but they're missing the fundamental point.
