#853 AI Is Useful. Now What?
About this episode
Dan and Ian discuss practical AI use cases for entrepreneurs and the future of AI in business.
Dan and Ian break down the real use cases they’re seeing inside DC companies right now — not theory, not hype, but the actual workflows founders are using to make and save money. They cover: ● The difference between sidecar AI, AI-first companies, and AI-native businesses ● Real-time dashboards, CRM systems, financial intelligence, and onboarding workflows ● Why founders can suddenly revisit old projects, landing pages, pricing, and customer journeys ● The biggest question every founder needs to answer in 2026: what are we actually going to do with this thing?
