Steven Walchek, founder and CEO of Liminal, explains an approach that puts controls around information before it reaches a model while giving employees room to work. Chris and Steven discuss data governance, the limits of policy and training alone, and practical applications built with AI coding tools. Steven shares a Pocket Sales Engineer that retrieves technical answers during calls and a system that turns customer conversations into product priorities.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/M0UrAfL7kRg28492026-10-05T04:23:38-07:00 https://usingaiatwork.com/episodes/19858377-how-ai-workflow-automation-changes-the-way-your-business-works-with-justin-watt/https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Czp-8LW6Mdc/maxresdefault.jpgHow AI Workflow Automation Changes the Way Your Business Works with Justin WattJustin Watt, co-founder and CEO of Switchboard, argues that AI adoption needs to change the workflow, not just the tools employees can open. Chris and Justin examine handoffs, permissions, and shared context as the foundations of useful automation. The conversation includes a proposal-process example and a practical way to find an initial use case. The focus is on understanding how work moves through the business before introducing agents or adding another application.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Czp-8LW6Mdc28952026-09-28T03:30:08-07:00 https://usingaiatwork.com/episodes/19828726-how-to-make-enterprise-ai-adoption-successful-inside-the-chief-ai-officer-role-with-deni/https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0FHYabElVVk/maxresdefault.jpgYou're Ignoring the Most Important Part of AI Adoption with Denis RomanovskiyDenis Romanovskiy, Chief AI Officer at SOFTSWISS, describes enterprise AI adoption as work that spans technology, operations, security, and employee enablement. The conversation focuses on turning practical experiments into business results rather than launching one enormous AI project. Chris and Denis discuss internal AI leaders, employee-led experimentation, and measuring economic effect. Small wins can build momentum, but somebody still needs to connect adoption to operating outcomes.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0FHYabElVVk28962026-09-21T01:00:29-07:00 https://usingaiatwork.com/episodes/19790025-why-ai-pilots-fail-how-to-escape-ai-pilot-purgatory-and-scale-enterprise-ai-with-ronnie-/https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oyTK-7_VrVM/maxresdefault.jpgWhy AI Pilots Fail: How to Escape AI Pilot Purgatory and Scale Enterprise AI | Ronnie Kwesi ColemanRonnie Kwesi Coleman, CEO of Puntt AI, joins Chris to examine why AI pilots stay stuck as experiments. The conversation emphasizes organizational readiness, expert judgment, and the difference between producing more work and improving business outcomes.
