Navigating the Hype Cycle of AI
Navigating the AI Hype: Practical Applications for Your Business
In today’s business landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword that’s impossible to ignore. We often hear grandiose claims about AI replacing thousands of employees or revolutionizing entire industries overnight. However, it’s crucial to look beyond the hype1 and focus on practical, immediately beneficial applications of AI technology, especially Large Language Models (LLMS).
The Reality of AI Implementation
While some companies boast about having “AI employees” or replacing large portions of their workforce with AI, these claims often prove to be short-sighted or end up in a marketing nightmare. The key is to identify areas where AI can provide tangible benefits without disrupting your existing operations.
Addressing Real Business Challenges
One common issue faced by small and medium-sized enterprises is employee attrition and the challenges associated with onboarding new team members. This is where AI can offer immediate value.

A Personal Anecdote
Years ago, I hired a new employee during a period when I had to travel a lot to customer sites. After long days of working with my customers, I found myself spending late nights in hotel rooms answering questions and helping to resolve issues the employee back at the office had to ensure that they experience no roadblocks in their onboarding and get up to speed quickly.
While this employee eventually became a great asset to the team, the experience highlighted a critical need in many organizations: a more efficient way to transfer knowledge and support new team members.
