Dan Bruder 1 From Legacy Software to Ai Revolution - JumpLeap Podcast

Can you give our listeners a little bit of peek into the backstory, the sequence of events where you had solved world hunger and you were now rolling it out to the hungry masses, and all of a sudden something happens?

Well, the backstory is that we spent a lot of money, time, and effort in developing software that by the day when we released it, it became legacy software. So that's not really fun.

But welcome to the world of technology development, right?

So we did that, but the AI capability is just— is almost mind-numbing to think what we can do with this now that we're going. But backstory, we went in around February of last year, roughly a year ago. We made the commitment to developing AI application, and we put everything else on hold and stopped everything— stopped selling, stopped everything, stopped servicing—

and, um, went down the path to develop this application without really knowing if we could do it. But we had confidence, um, and, and we, we developed this purpose-built strategic planning platform that has AI as an engine that interviews people. Within the organization and then consolidates and synthesizes that data into a strategy framework so that the leadership team can make decisions and then push it back out to the employees to go implement that strategic plan. So it's a, it's a complete process of, you know, strategy and execution built in this application facilitated by AI.

But truthfully, you know, if AI wasn't such a hot topic, I would never even talk about it.

Because we don't need to talk about it.

We just need to talk about what it does. Right. And so people are so fascinated with AI. But if I said we could have somebody— if I said somebody was on the phone interviewing these people, it's— they wouldn't care. It just happens to be a bot doing it, you know, an AI doing it, an agent, so to speak.
