"With all the advancements in the tech industry, people might think of AI as a hammer, treating everything else as a nail, and in my experience, that just doesn't work. I'm always trying to be flexible about when to switch from AI to human intervention, and vice versa."
"I don't have a tech background, and since starting my business, I've learned a lot about where to leverage AI, and where not to. Over time, it's become clearer to me where and where not to use AI for my business."
"Beyond the agents themselves, the focus is moving from 'what can agents do?' to 'how do we run them reliably and securely at scale?' Right now, there's a strong focus on agentic workflows."
Tim Desoto, a 49-year-old founder of an AI-powered shopping platform launched in late 2024, emphasizes the importance of selective AI implementation rather than applying it universally. Without a technical background, he has learned to identify where AI effectively solves problems and where human intervention remains superior. His approach involves flexibility in switching between AI and human solutions based on what works best. Desoto relies on his San Francisco network, attending meetups and developer conferences to stay informed about emerging AI tools and trends. Current industry focus centers on agentic workflows and autonomous agents, with attention shifting from agent capabilities to reliable, secure, and scalable deployment at enterprise levels.
