AI is becoming a business partner, not just a tool, and soon, your data will literally talk back to you.

In this episode of An Hour of Innovation podcast, host Vit Lyoshin sits down with Mustafa Parekh, the founder of Lazy Admin, to explore how personalized AI is transforming the way companies understand and use their data.

Mustafa breaks down how Lazy Admin turns complex Salesforce and CRM information into natural-language insights, visualizations, and strategic recommendations, all in seconds. They talk about the rise of AI assistants, the future of enterprise AI, how AI can learn your internal business language, the challenges of building secure “zero-data-exfiltration” systems, and why the next era of innovation isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about creating better, more human-centered ways of working. Together, they dive into AI ethics, government regulation, AGI risks, job displacement, product development mindsets, and why founders should build Minimum Lovable Products instead of just MVPs.

Mustafa Parekh is a tech entrepreneur, Salesforce consultant, and the creator of Lazy Admin, an AI-powered data insights platform redefining how businesses access reporting and analytics. He is known for pioneering privacy-first architecture in enterprise AI, automating CRM workflows without exposing sensitive data, and helping companies make smarter decisions using real-time insights.
