This podcast usually talks to guests with a foot on the ground in Africa or the Middle East. For this episode, we make an exception.

Neal Polachek is an old colleague who has co-founded Dialog, a business doing groundbreaking research around small business use of AI. Dialog is learning not just how many SMEs are using AI but why and what the outcome is of this usage.

The bottom line is no surprise. Time is the SME's most precious resource and AI gives them back an abundance of time.

Dialog is currently US-based but will be expanding globally.
