🚀 How is AI transforming businesses, and what does it mean for employees and entrepreneurs?

In an insightful conversation with Krzysztof Just and Leo Zisman, we explored the role of AI in automating business processes, optimizing workflows, and shaping the future of work. Their startup focuses on AI-driven automation in e-commerce, helping businesses streamline customer support and free up time for high-value tasks.

🔥 Key Takeaways from the Interview:

1️⃣ AI Won’t Replace You – But Someone Using It Will

Both speakers emphasized that AI isn’t eliminating jobs—it’s changing how we work. AI-powered tools are reducing workload, boosting efficiency, and allowing employees to focus on critical thinking and strategic tasks instead of repetitive work.

“AI is like a power drill—if you don’t know how to use it, you’ll be replaced by someone who does.” – Leo Zisman

2️⃣ The Fastest Way to Scale a Business? Automate the Boring Stuff

Krzysztof and Leo’s startup uses AI to cut 30% of manual customer support work in e-commerce. Their AI agent handles FAQs, order verifications, and product inquiries, allowing teams to focus on growth and complex customer issues.

“AI should work for you, not replace you. If you’re still doing things manually, you’re already behind.” – Krzysztof Just

3️⃣ Entrepreneurs Need More Than Just Code

For those dreaming of launching a startup, Krzysztof and Leo made one thing clear:
🚀
Great code doesn’t build a great business.

Many devs get stuck in endless perfectionism instead of launching. But in business, speed matters more than perfect code. Customers don’t care about your syntax—they care about solutions.

“No client cares how beautiful your code is. They just want their problem solved.” – Leo Zisman

4️⃣ AI & Programmers: The Future of Coding

The way developers write code is evolving. AI is making coding faster, easier, but also creating lazy developers who just copy-paste from AI tools like ChatGPT.

The real winners?
Developers who use AI smartly—as a tool, not a crutch.
“Prompt programmers” who blindly copy AI-generated code will struggle in the long run.

“AI helps, but if you don’t understand what you’re coding, you won’t last in this industry.” – Krzysztof Just

5️⃣ AI & The Future of Work: What’s Next?

The speakers predict a world where AI becomes a core part of business strategy. AI-powered agents will handle customer support, marketing, and even decision-making.

The best employees? Those who understand AI and use it effectively.

“AI won’t replace employees—it will make them more valuable. The real question is: Are you learning how to use it?” – Leo Zisman
