What you'll learn
1. Tell a "Boring Killer" from "Fake Good" AI
Use a 3-circle value test — users × company ROI × AI capability — to kill AI ideas that won't pay off.
2. Turn messy chat + voice into decisions, live
Watch Claude Code synthesize unstructured transcripts into the topic and the right remediation.
3. Pick the autonomy level you've actually earned
Use the Assist → Copilot → Agent dial and guardrails to decide when AI can safely act on its own.
Why this topic matters
Everyone's racing to ship "autonomous AI agents." Most are Fake Good — one slick demo, then they fall apart and burn budget. This honest hour shows where AI actually pays off: synthesizing the messy data no one reads. You'll learn to find the sweet spot of user value, ROI, and real capability — and skip the
expensive demos no leader will fund twice.
