    How Founders Scale Operations With AI, Not Slop and Inefficiency | Creator's Cut | 4K

    Streamline and scale operations with AI, not inefficiency and slop. AI agents do not fix a broken process, they just make the slop go faster. Map the customer journey and fix the process first. 💠 Key Insights1. Why Map the Customer Journey Before You Deploy AI? AI deployed without a mapped customer experience leaves customers stuck in loops yelling "representative!" Map the journey first . 2. Why Does AI Make Inefficiency Worse? AI accelerates whatever process it touches, including the waste. Clean your data first, optimize, then automate. 3. How Should You Measure and Budget an AI Agent? Measure every agent by outcome, not usage: set the KPI up front, and if an agent still doesn't do its job after training, fire it. Compare token cost to FTE cost and cap usage to protect your margins. ⚡ The Show Log | Season 2 | Episode 21 | Live Event 🎙️ Host & Moderator: Sanjay Kalluvilayil | Founder & CEO | Stonehaas Advisors | Creator & Host | The AI Space Podcast 🎤 Guest MC: Wendi R.
