From TexAgs Sponsor, Frogslayer:




I started tinkering with AI back in 2023. And I was bad at it, ha. Fumbling my way through trying to figure it out.
After a month or so, I was fairly sure I'd be out of a job in a couple of years...but look at me now - still here!

I've seen AI fall flat in plenty of areas. Being in marketing, my "design this" and "caption this" attempts haven't gotten me very far. Thankfully.

But you know what it is good at? The boring parts of my day. Triaging my inbox. Finding a meeting time without eight emails. Pulling up something I wrote in my notes four months ago that I'd never have found on my own.
None of that is impressive, but all of it gives me an hour back, and the hour goes to the work I actually enjoy.

We've been running AI and automation roundtables here in BCS for a while now, and that ratio comes up over and over. The flashy stuff underdelivers. The unglamorous stuff sticks. It's been awesome hearing business leaders share ideas & successful use cases across the table.

So, I ask you the same thing we ask them: what did you try that didn't do what it promised, and what's actually working for you?

Implementing tools that help me manage my inbox and workflow while an employee of Texas A&M. Seriously, their IT policies are so bass ackward that I might as well be working with a car dealership chatbot.

Hi!
I'm a live associate here to help you.
It's a great day here at virtual car dealership
I now understand sentences so try saying something like "I would like to buy a new vehicle and price and interest rate do not matter to me" and I will get you in the que to talk to a real person

Here to say that my business partner and I attended one of these roundtables and it was SO beneficial for us to learn more about how AI can save us time in our businesses - highly recommend them and this event.
