Episode notes
Accidental Path To AI
- Yana accidentally entered AI after years building productivity tools and solving a real knowledge problem at a job.
- That problem led to Question Base evolving from manual workflows to AI-powered knowledge extraction.
Conversational Data Is Untapped Knowledge
- Conversational data (Slack, chat) holds tacit organizational knowledge that often never becomes usable documentation.
- AI can surface that hidden knowledge and connect it back to people more effectively than manual processes.
