'I automated 20 hours of my work': What AI really does to your job


Listen Later

We ran a survey last month asking professionals whether AI tools had saved them time at work. About 200 of you wrote in. We heard from consultants, lawyers, product managers, software developers — even a yoga instructor. There were early-career professionals, mid-level managers, and senior leaders.

Almost all of them said AI had saved them time — meaning it had managed to reduce the amount of time they would otherwise spend doing certain tasks at work. Most also saw an increase in productivity. They were getting more work done.

In this episode, we tell you the story of AI adoption from the bottom up. This is the quiet change underway at work right now. Of individual tinkerers in their quest for productivity while enterprises try and figure out their AI strategies.
