Episode notes

AI's role in business is not about complete replacement but rather about enhancing human capabilities. The real opportunity lies in combining the cost efficiency of AI with human customization, use case understanding, and service quality. By reducing labor costs significantly and leveraging AI for productivity, businesses can experience exponential value generation, making the investment in customization and premium services worthwhile.

In today’s episode, Romeen Sheth, CEO of Metasys, joins Erik Torenberg and Sean Linehan to discuss the intersections between Ai and service business, vertical software, and much more.
