What was your most expensive business or marketing mistake? Story time.

When I think about my most expensive marketing mistake, I don t really measure it in money, but rather in time.

About 7 years ago, I was thinking about creating content and had to decide whether I wanted to create for the Slovak market or for an international audience.

Will HR positions survive the rise of AI?

I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:

  • vacation requests

  • onboarding new employees

  • payroll information and attendance records

  • benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions

Results of AI implementation at IBM

  • 94% of the HR agenda is automated

  • Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated

  • $3.5 billion saved

  • 40% drop in HR costs

IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.

75 citations on a query my site does not appear on at all

I trusted a number for about three weeks and it turned out to be two different numbers wearing one label.

Bing Webmaster Tools has a grounding query table. It lists queries and a citation count. Mine showed 75 citations and 30 percent share for the query AI multilingual support agents US ecommerce. I had been reporting that as one of my pages winning that query.

Are customer feature requests always telling us what customers actually need?

When someone asks for a feature, it's tempting to assume they've already identified the solution to their problem.

But sometimes the request is only one possible way to solve something deeper.

For example, a customer might ask for another dashboard when what they're really struggling with is knowing which information deserves their attention.

I can see two approaches.

You probably have someone in your family who isn t very tech-savvy and occasionally needs help with technology. Many of us have grown up with it, but older generations (or simply those with less experience) often find it challenging.

How do you help them navigate and learn to use modern technology?

Remote workers, how do you stay productive while being isolated?

The biggest boom in remote work was during the COVID pandemic, but corporations have started to call employees back into their offices, either because of prepaid office space or better control over employees' work.

Some have stuck with the remote model until now, e.g. Spotify.
