How to Use AI to Grow Revenue in 2026

from Leveling Up with Eric Siu · host Eric Siu

Most businesses are still using AI the wrong way. They are stuck using ChatGPT like a search engine while the companies moving fastest are building end to end workflows, autonomous agents, and closed loop systems that compound over time. In this video, I break down the four levels of AI adoption in business, why most teams fail with implementation, and how to actually build systems that increase revenue instead of creating more busy work. I also walk through real examples of how we use Hermes, OpenClaw, Slack, and specialized agents inside our company to handle strategy, analytics, ad creatives, workflows, and decision making. If you want to understand how AI will actually change the way businesses operate over the next 12 months, this is the framework you need to see.
