AI for Business: Make It Your Thinking Partner

Before you ask AI for an answer, give it something to think with: your business, your goal, and the challenge you’re facing. Barry Krevoy and Florin Diumea explore how AI can become a thinking partner for business owners. They discuss asking better questions, connecting AI to business processes, keeping people responsible for the result, and building a business with purpose and community support. At 19:08, the conversation becomes practical: explain what you do, describe where you’re stuck, and start working through the problem. The coffee-and-banana example shows why context matters. TRY THIS STARTING PROMPT “I run [type of business]. I’m trying to [goal], and I’m stuck on [challenge]. What questions should we work through first?” This is an example to adapt to your situation.
