Jeff argues businesses will lag on AI adoption because they treat it like software instead of hiring a competent person. He's built a content accelerator that layers AI generation with human oversight, and contrasts bloated platforms like Monday.com with custom tools built through conversational coding with AI agents.
So let's look at the predictions for 2026. And this is, I think this is kind of where the fun for me is kind of beginning. It says, here's one of my predictions and I've got it on my phone, so I'm going to read it off. Businesses will be slow to adopt AI in their business. And I say why? They are thinking AI is like software, they install Civic task. When it does not, it is considered a failure. And AI is more like hiring an extremely competent individual that is literally the smartest in the room. They just need directions and support. And the second reason. Let me stop that for a second. So over the last four or five days, I've been working on creating some architecture and updating some, I guess, structure for our content accelerator. And that's what we use to build everybody's content. It's all AI driven and it's human overview. But I wanted to put another level of there kind of a commercial grade, excuse me, commercial grade, I guess automation, if you will. And so what we did is I couldn't just pull something off the rack and say, here it is, it was built specifically for that job. Well, this is the difference of the days of saying, hey, I'm going to get something like Mondays.com I need a CRM or Zoho and I'm going to get that. But then what happens is it has so much in there and we're using about 10% of what we're paying for that. We're going, yeah, I'm paying 1,000 or 2,000 or sometimes a lot more than that every month to use this platform and I use a fraction of it. Well, what's happening now is we're able to go in and say, why don't I build my own custom piece? Couldn't do that a few years ago. But we can build our own customers CRM and we can have it do exactly what we want using something I didn't mention in 2025, which is vibe coding, I kind of snuck it in there when I said we can talk to the agent. Vibe coding is where I can now talk to platforms. It doesn't matter what platform, but let's use as an example, like Cursor as an example. I can talk into. You can talk into Cursor and say, hey, I'm thinking about. And you can really have kind of a conversation. I'm thinking about building this website. This is what I wanted to do. This is why I'm having it. This ain't my business. And here's a little data sheet on who I am in my business. And by the way, here are three examples of what I'd like you to build. And go build it. And shockingly enough, it'll go build your website. Well, we're getting to that point now where we have the ability to say, hey, let me talk into my chat GPT or my grok or whomever it is, and I'm going to build that specific tool I need. That's going to be a big difference.
