Malt featured my case study last week. The stat they led with: ๐ต ๐ผ๐ณ ๐บ๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ.
Over the past 6 months I built 12+ automation projects for revenue teams. Only 3 survived the real-world adoption check. And I mean the check that matters: is anyone still using this 6 weeks later.
The ones that died had one thing in common. I built them because I could, not because the team was ready to change how they worked.
The one that thrives is a meeting prep agent. It pulls from LinkedIn, the CRM and the web (including scraping career pages to spot active hiring) and drops a brief before every call.
๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ, ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐. Zero behavior change required. The value lands inside a workflow that already exists.
That is the shift I keep repeating to clients:
๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐. Anyone can ship a working prototype in days (hours?).
The scarce skills are business judgment (building the right tool) and change management (making it land in the team's existing routine). And related to that: distribution, stickiness/retention, etc
Everyone asks if AI will take their job. Wrong question. Ask which tasks you'd happily never do again, then automate those.
