What you'll learn

Recognize when your existing tools outperform AI

Apply decision frameworks to prevent reinventing the wheel where AI is only a liability, apply AI only where it counts

Guide AI to use tools and data the way your best people do

Why this topic matters

The hype is a lie - AI is not a panacea. It is effective at a narrow band of tasks, in which it reigns supreme. Learn where traditional software remains optimal, where AI agents shine, and how to create symbiotic workflows that outperform either approach alone. Design AI implementations that free your team from dot-connecting busywork to deliver the unautomatable value clients pay premium for.
