About this episode
The episode discusses how to effectively integrate AI into business processes by applying AI first principles.
Most teams are rushing to bolt AI onto existing workflows, but that often just scales the dysfunction faster. In this episode of WP Product Talk, we explore AI first principles with Anthony Franco, Executive Director and Founder of FirstStrategy.ai, and why operationalizing AI starts with rethinking the systems behind your business. Join hosts Matt Cromwell and Zack Katz on March 11, 2026 at Noon Eastern as they unpack practical ways WordPress product owners can rethink processes, eliminate bureaucracy, and design smarter operations before layering in AI. https://www.aifirstprinciples.org https://www.wisermethod.com/books
