Why you should probably hire an "AI Operations Lead," whose job is to make everyone at your company more productive using AI tools and workflows. "I sit with her once a week, and every time I'm doing something repetitively, we put it in a to-do list. She then builds prompts and workflows so that I and everyone else on the team are automating as much as possible. If you're working in a job all day, you're fighting fires, you're like, okay, am I gonna do this in the way that I know how, or am I gonna do it in the new way that might not work? Having an AI ops lead lets, you basically identify those things and then have them solved, without people who are doing the work having to take time to do it. Which makes it much more likely it happens." — @danshipper
