Find out what AI and Agents can’t fix | EP 73

In this episode, Alane and Micah tackle one of the biggest misconceptions about AI agents — the idea that they can magically fix broken workflows. They unpack why automation only works when the underlying process is solid, clear, and well-defined.They share real stories from their own experience, including how strategy and design make up 80% of the work in building automated systems, and why slowing down to document and standardize your processes can actually make you move faster later.You’ll hear:Why AI agents can’t save a poorly structured workflowHow to identify when you’re ready to automate (and when you’re not)Why the design phase is the most valuable part of any automation projectHow to document, diagram, and break large systems into smaller, achievable workflowsThe importance of starting small and improving over timeIf you’ve ever been tempted to “throw AI at a problem,” this episode will show you how to rethink automation so it actually works — and how to build a process your agents, and your team, can rely on.Learn More about our AI Leadership WorkshopWinning businesses aren’t just working harder, they understand how to use AI strategically.
