    I'm now Chipp certified 🎉 . Chipp.ai is one of my favourite AI solution builders. I love their vision, and how truly helpful their team is (Seraj Toefy Scott Meyer Hunter Hodnett Jofo Domingo). The team and wonderful Chipp community helped me navigate tricky builds and when I just started out, answered all my (sometimes obvious) questions. They even introduced me to two awesome Capetonians who are also borderline obsessive about AI and automation (Nix Good Kobus du Toit). Check them out: https://www.chipp.ai/

    🚀 AI is Disrupting My Business (And Why That’s a Good Thing) As a founder mentor, I’ve spent years helping entrepreneurs think creatively, develop original ideas, and build sustainable business models from scratch. My Startup Foundations Program was all about doing the hard work—manual brainstorming, customer interviews, market analysis—to create something truly innovative. But with AI—hello, ChatGPT—so much of that process has changed. Now, AI can generate ideas, perform market research, and even suggest business models in seconds. So what happens when a core part of my offering is automated? I evolve. In my latest blog post, I share how I’m adapting to this AI-driven world—helping founders enhance their creativity, leverage AI effectively, and focus on the critical human skills that will always be essential. If you're curious about how AI is reshaping the startup journey and how I’m embracing it, check out my post below! 👇 👉 [Read the full blog here https://bit.ly/4eJ159P ] #AI #Startups #BusinessStrategy #Innovation #HumanAICollaboration #Entrepreneurship #FutureOfWork #SmallBusiness

    🤖 What Exactly Is an AI Agent? And Why You Should Care AI agents are more than just chatbots—they’re intelligent, autonomous assistants that not only understand your commands but also take action and learn as they go (if only more people did the same, right?). Here’s why AI agents are transforming businesses: 𝟭. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆: They execute tasks independently, without constant oversight. 𝟮. 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: No coding needed—just speak or type like you would with a colleague. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: They integrate with your existing tools, handling tasks like emails, spreadsheets, and more. 𝟰. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: From simple tasks to complex processes, they manage it all, freeing you from micromanagement. 𝟱. 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆: AI agents remember past interactions, offering personalized responses and improvements. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: They don't just advise—they complete tasks, saving you time and effort. 𝟳. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: AI agents continuously adapt and improve, becoming more efficient with every use. 𝘈𝘐 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭—they're essential tools for businesses that want to stay competitive and efficient. With their ability to work autonomously and improve over time, they free you up to focus on strategy, growth, and innovation. I help CEOs figure out how to bring AI into their organizations in a simple, sustainable way—no tech headaches, just strategic advantage. Curious how AI can work for you?
