Mike speaks to Greg Rog a serial entrepreneur and expert in AI-driven automation and streamlining who co-founded easy.tools, easycart, Automation House, and Zencal. His latest innovation, Alice, is an AI assistant that works seamlessly with your apps to simplify tasks—a daily tool Mike uses.

Greg explains how Alice solves the automation challenges you are having including, dealing effectively with AI hallucinations, and being able to use your custom APIs as well as the automation you have already created on platforms like Make and Zapier.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Alice enables you to talk to and interact with your current stack e.g. custom-built automations/APIs and those built on platforms like Zapier and Make.

• You can talk to the interface using natural language.

• Most companies map only a small percentage of their processes, with many existing only in one person’s head. Automation pushes firms to examine, streamline, and update these processes.

• Once a process is automated, people stop checking to see if what they need for their part of the process is ready. They waste less time and are more relaxed.

• When a new task is introduced ask, should a person do this, or can AI do it?

• Link simple automations together in a chain to complete complex processes, so you can easily debug and update them.

• AI tools like Alice will reduce the need for people to specialize in certain business areas, e.g., sales or marketing. 

• To learn the tech and become a skilled prompt engineer. When you find yourself doing a repetitive task try to automate it.
