Why Your AI Tools Keep Failing — And the Fix Is Simpler Than You Think | Marvin Martinez, Bandsaw AI

from Localization Fireside Chat · host Marvin Martinez

Most AI implementations fail — not because of the technology, but because business owners are buying tools without fixing the underlying process. Marvin Martinez spent 13 years running operations for a BPO in Nicaragua before co-founding Bandsaw AI. His edge: he's the operations guy who knows AI, not the other way around. In this episode we cover: - Why most AI implementations don't deliver ROI - The real difference between a tool, a workflow, and an AI agent - How to identify the first workflow worth automating - A real AI voice agent that saved a locksmith $1,000/month in missed calls - A lead research system that delivers warm prospects every morning - Why AI agents are being oversold — and what to use instead - How to bring employees along on the AI journey - Final advice: start small, find your AI champion, just do it Connect with Marvin: Website & AI bot: https://bandsaw.ai Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvin-bandsawai Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9T-Fopl8duk Hosted by Robin Ayoub | Founder, N49Networks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinayoub Join the free weekly AI Exchange: reach out to Robin on LinkedIn CreditsHost: Robin Ayoub, Founder, Localization Fireside ChatConnect and watch moreWebsite: www.L10NFiresideChat.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5OoURgc29R31XPGzOWL9iXBe a guest: https://calendly.com/robin-ayoub/localization-fireside-chat-podcast-recordingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinayoub/Support the showShare the episode with a friend.
