How AI is rewriting the business automation playbook with Joe Kim, CEO of DRUID AI

In this episode, Joe Kim, the new CEO of DRUID AI, unpacks what
might be the biggest shift in technology since the internet.


We discuss the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and
its growing impact on businesses. Joe, who has been in his role
for 70 days, brings fresh perspectives on how DRUID AI positioned
itself as a workflow automation platform years before the market
caught up, a bet that's now paying off as companies move beyond
AI experimentation into real implementation.


The discussion covers the current state of the AI market,
including the challenges of customer adoption, why some customers
actively prefer interacting with AI over humans, and the
importance of maintaining a balance between generative and
agentic AI.


Joe also shares his vision of AI as the next major distribution
platform. Just as Amazon has tried to make Alexa the operating
system of our lives, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and similar platforms could
become the primary gateway to accessing services in the future.
