Automation vs. Information
In a world where AI is awakening us to the power of automation,
It’s important to step back and realize the tradeoff we make
When we outsource to a machine.
The truth is, founders have faced this dilemma for years.
When you hear :
“Do things that don’t scale.”
“Your CEO is your first salesperson.”
“Don’t over-engineer."
Most of these adages
Are aimed at avoiding the dangers of early automation.
Automation is amazing at making you more efficient,
But if it decreases the number of conversations you’re having with your target customers
It’s hurting more than it’s helping.
As a startup, your advantage will nearly never be access to excellent technology.
Big companies can afford more, can hire better, can build faster than you can.
What you can do better than them
Is listen
And react.
Want to win in a world where everyeone is using AI to get ahead faster?
Don’t pour all your time into outsourcing your customers to AI.
Instead, listen
And respond.
