In this brief monologue, the speaker recounts a conversation with his head of finance about the need to automate all finance functions across a portfolio of 17 companies. When asked how to achieve this, the speaker tells the finance lead to "ask it"—referring to a generative AI system. The AI provides a detailed plan, including the selection of tools and the construction of connectors needed to integrate and automate the entire financial stack. The speaker emphasizes that the AI‑generated solution covers every financial operation, highlighting the rapid shift in how finance can be managed at scale. He also notes that many people are reluctant to acknowledge or adopt this transformation, underscoring a cultural resistance to AI‑driven change.
