Description

After 60,000+ miles of travel and meeting with hundreds of companies, I’m here to share what I’ve learned. The simple message is that Gen AI has now gone mainstream, yet many companies are thinking about this in different ways. The current state is what we call “Stage 1 AI” focused on individual productivity, but more advanced AI solutions are coming.


Here is my discussion of where we are and what’s coming next, and we look forward to sharing much more (and our AI Agent Blueprint) in the coming weeks.
