This episode is our second installment of a special, three-part Reid Riffs miniseries focused on what it actually means to become AI-native. Instead of a news or headline-driven conversation, Reid sits down one-on-one with AI engineer and strategist, Parth Patil, for a deeper exploration of how AI is changing the way people and organizations work. In this second episode, they discuss why most enterprises are still talking about AI without truly integrating it (“AI theater”), and how the real shift begins inside everyday workflows rather than strategy decks. Together, they explore how language models and agents can reduce friction in communication and coordination, reinvent meetings, and turn unstructured information into actionable insight (with examples). They also examine how AI-powered analysis, automation, and parallelized agents are accelerating decision-making, reshaping roles, and moving work from execution toward orchestration. Parth and Reid both highlight how an open mindset and experimentation are required to collaborate effectively with these systems as AI evolves from a productivity tool into a foundational layer for thinking and leadership.
