In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Ima Miri, the founder and CEO of AIPoint.io. Ima, a seasoned expert with over a decade of experience in AI and cloud consulting, shares her journey from being inspired by her father's computer in the 1990s to now leading a company that builds practical AI solutions. She delves into the core philosophy of her work: creating AI-powered autonomous agents and workflows designed to augment human teams and enhance business efficiency, rather than replace people. Ima provides a realistic perspective on the current state of AI, discussing its limitations and the irreplaceable value of human connection in business processes.

The conversation explores the practical applications of AIPoint.io, which works with a diverse range of clients, from marketing agencies to real estate and recruitment firms. Ima explains their three engagement models: "done by you" (training), "done with you" (co-pilot), and "done for you" (managed services). She also shares her effective LinkedIn content strategy, which focuses on sharing authentic project learnings rather than news or direct sales pitches. Looking ahead, Ima reveals her focus on expanding into data enrichment, analytics, and the critical future fields of AI and data governance to help businesses build secure and compliant systems.
