Speakers advise companies to prioritize “layup” AI roles—use cases where reliable tools already exist but internal teams aren’t executing. These are often tasks that are hard to staff, mismatched with company culture, or simply neglected, rather than areas that are already working well. Practical early targets that have scaled fastest are customer support and software engineering/programming, where AI agents can plug gaps immediately. Founders are encouraged to personally test their support to see the opportunity for AI-driven improvement.
