Raw Data with Rob Collie

Getting Specific with AI via Categories: Chat, Headless, and Embedded

Everyone's talking about AI. Almost no one's getting specific. And that's the problem.

Rob and Justin break down the three categories that matter: chat agents you talk to, embedded assistants baked into your workflows, and headless systems running quietly in the background doing the grunt work nobody wants to do.

This isn't theory. This is how AI is finally working for real companies.

They walk through Vendor Bot, Scheduler Bot, and Budget Bot — small, focused tools that do one thing exceptionally well. Because here's what keeps happening: the "one bot to rule them all" projects collapse under their own weight every single time.

But stack a few narrow, reliable bots together? That's when things get interesting.

If you've been wondering why AI works for some teams and stalls for others, this episode has your answer. Spoiler: it's not about going bigger. It's about getting ruthlessly specific.

The "we're all in on AI" era is over. The "we know where it fits" era just began.
