In this brief YouTube short, Bill Canady and a co‑speaker discuss how AI is shifting from a corporate overhead tool to a core process enhancer. They cite BASF’s mantra—“we don’t make anything, we just make it better”—as a lens for today’s AI, which they envision will eventually drive cars and cook meals. The immediate focus is on how AI can instantly gather all publicly available information on a prospect, allowing a user to plug a name into any preferred tool and retrieve comprehensive data in seconds. They also highlight AI’s ability to scan and synthesize data‑room contents, a task that previously required hours or days of analyst effort, thereby dramatically accelerating deal‑making and research workflows.

I think you're right. BASF used to say, we don't make anything, we just make it better. I think that's kind of AI where we're at today. Who knows where it takes us? I think it's going to be driving our cars and cooking our dinners and who knows. But today, You, as you said, you're gonna go see a prospect, plug the name in, whatever your favorite tool is or whatever your company gives you, you can know everything, or everything that's public. You're looking at data. You can run this through, you know, it used to take an analyst hours, if not days to get through a data room.
