🚀 Today’s Deep Dive 🚀

📰 TL;DR - With the buzz around AI, everyone seems to want to be able to add “AI functionality” to their laundry list of features. So much so that the term and idea in general has become diluted, often referring to… well, really nothing in actuality. So, how can a company integrate AI features in a cool, useful way?

Check out Uber Eats’ new test chatbot intended to offer recommendations to users and help them place orders quicker. The chatbot will, “ask users about their budget, food preferences and then help them place an order” according to TechCrunch.

💡 Insight - Think of the traditional process of ordering food. Typically it involves talking to another person, either a waiter or cashier or via a phone ordering system. By adding AI chatbots into this process, Uber Eats creates a more optimized, efficient user experience.

AI is often heralded as a major innovation and a catalyst for change. But that change doesn’t have to be massive. AI is often best done when it’s a simple, smart change to an aging, antiquated system or process.

Don’t underestimate the subtle integration of AI. Find a process within your business that could be made slightly better with AI. Let AI fill in a gap you’ve been hoping to fill for awhile. Sometimes it’s better to start small than overhauling your process overnight into something that consumers don’t even want. AI is innovative, but poor integration of AI isn’t.
