I take this for granted but I'm sure there are a lot of people here who have never used Value Stream Mapping. I've used this technique with clients during discovery to capture their whole process end to end. This helps us identify where the bottlenecks are and where they can get the most value from automation. https://www.lean.org/lexicon-terms/value-stream-mapping/ If you automate a process and the business don't see any improvements then you've probably automated the wrong thing, or moved the bottleneck to some other point in the process. If you want to have a positive impact on your clients you have to automate the right thing, not just what they tell you!

I'm curious, as an AI automation consultant who do you work with at your clients? Is it the developers? Is it the product managers? Is it the CEO or MD? Is it the operations, sales, marketing teams?

There are some things you shouldn't give to an LLM - calculation is one of them. Today I tried to build an MCP Tool so that my agents can complete calculations reliably. The input is an array {x,y,z...} and the output is the sum, mean, median and standard deviation. Let me know if something like this is useful to you? If so I'll try to write some simple docs and make it available. And if it's not useful, let me know why? How are you solving this problem? (I used Leapter for this because that's the tool I'm testing right now!)

1 minute only!! Hello friends! This is a quick exercise that would be super valuable to me... please take a look at this section of our website and tell me, in your own words, what problem this product is solving! Don't overthink it - just write a reply based on your first impression! Appreciate it!! :)
