What you'll learn

Why most AI automations fail in production

Not just by breaking, but by being irrelevant, unused, or impossible to maintain.

A framework and checklist for building useful automation

Practical framework of what to watch for before releasing into production, so your automation gets adopted.

Practical tips for resilient workflows

Concrete advice on making automations more reliable and scalable, including how to spot weak points early on.

Why this topic matters

Most AI automations don’t fail because the tools are bad. They fail because they’re not designed to be useful, adopted, and reliable inside existing workflows. In this talk, I’ll walk through the most common design mistakes, explain why automations end up unused, and share a framework and checklist for delivering automation that actually creates value in production and run reliably.
