Two founders argue LLMs don't need to reach AGI to be useful. Their company automates financial and operational workflows by pulling together disparate data sources and surfacing insights instantly. What CFOs initially dismissed as far-fetched is now their core pitch.
The LLMs will never get you to AGI. For people in business who are using this, I don't need AGI. If you can have a system that can go across all these disparate data sources and find these correlations and actually have the context of my business to give me value, it's the same thing I say about working with Paul. I don't care if you're dumb as a brick, if you're a good co-host. Oh wait, did I say that?
What did I hear once? 70% of all truth is said in humor? I like to say we're solving the most obvious problem in the world. It's just about, can we solve it in a unique way that nobody's done before? And that was what we like from day one, like when we were starting this, like when we first pitched this to CFOs, it was like, this is so far-fetched. And so we kind of pared it back a little bit and we went, look, we can automate any workflow in your financial operational process. Like, tell us what you're thinking about right away. But it quickly came back to this whole vision of like, yeah, this is the most obvious problem in the world.
