Episode Details

What does it take to move from “AI experiments” to real operational impact? Audrey Chia welcomes Mahdi Shariff, co-founder of Humble AI, to break down a practical path: start simple, embed AI where teams already work, and empower internal champions to lead adoption. Mahdi introduces Humble’s mission—helping people build their own AI assistants in ways that match how they think and work, with a strong emphasis on neurodiversity.  

They discuss common blockers like tool sprawl, siloed usage, and fear of job displacement—plus a reframing: use AI to stop resolving problems and start solving them systemically. Mahdi shares concrete workflows: searchable knowledge assistants for content, structured formatting into Notion/Airtable, and a slick LinkedIn-to-CRM capture flow for personal and account-based marketing. The conversation closes on the future: inclusive, community-driven “user-generated software.”
