E197: Inside the AI Factory: How AI Systems Builds Workflows That Actually Work

In this episode, we take you inside the AI factory — the place where companies are transforming real business operations using AI workflows, not just experimenting with flashy demos or proofs of concept.

AI strategist Dustin Jensen breaks down what differentiates AI systems that scale from those that become expensive experiments. He explains why companies waste money when they “throw AI at a workflow” without truly understanding the process, the data, and the human-in-the-loop requirements.

You’ll hear how to build AI workflows that integrate with existing infrastructure, collaborate with people, and close the loop on real tasks — not copilots that need constant oversight.

What You’ll Learn:

• What an AI factory actually is and how it works
• How to turn AI pilots into production-grade systems
• The role of workflow discovery and data flow mapping
• Why most AI deployments fail due to poor data quality and lack of readiness
• How to design systems where humans and AI collaborate seamlessly
• The mindset shift employees need when adopting generative AI tools
• The difference between copilots and AI agents that close the loop on tasks
• How to build AI with safety, reliability, and error-handling designed in
• Why small, specialized agents outperform “monolithic” do-everything models
