The AI Automation Graveyard (Why Most Projects Die After Launch)
If your automation hasn't been updated in 90 days, it's probably broken. Alane and Micah dive deep into why automation is actually software and what that means for your business. They reveal why most automation failures aren't due to poor building—they fail because people stop maintaining them. Learn why starting small beats building "maintenance monsters," how API changes and model updates break workflows faster than ever, and why the business case still makes sense even with ongoing maintenance costs. This episode will completely shift how you think about automation in your business.
