What’s not working
AI assistants
aren’t a workforce.
We’re all faster. The process isn’t.
Faster people, same workflow
Your people get quicker at their own tasks, but nothing connects them. Every handoff still waits on a person to notice it and carry it to the next step.
Every new hire means another license.
Cost that never inverts
Per-seat licensing scales with headcount, not throughput. The unit economics don’t change, so the gains stay anecdotal.
It only runs if her laptop is open.
AI no one can see
The automations people build run as them, on their own machines and under their own limits. When someone is out or leaves, the work stops, and no one can see what AI is doing across the company.
