In this episode, Alane and Micah tackle one of the biggest misconceptions about AI agents — the idea that they can magically fix broken workflows. They unpack why automation only works when the underlying process is solid, clear, and well-defined.

They share real stories from their own experience, including how strategy and design make up 80% of the work in building automated systems, and why slowing down to document and standardize your processes can actually make you move faster later.

You’ll hear:

• Why AI agents can’t save a poorly structured workflow
• How to identify when you’re ready to automate (and when you’re not)
• Why the design phase is the most valuable part of any automation project
• How to document, diagram, and break large systems into smaller, achievable workflows
• The importance of starting small and improving over time

If you’ve ever been tempted to “throw AI at a problem,” this episode will show you how to rethink automation so it actually works — and how to build a process your agents, and your team, can rely on.
