Quick Answer

For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".

Artificial intelligence is the first “employee” in history that doesn’t get tired, doesn’t queue tasks, and doesn’t complain when you double or triple its workload overnight. Used correctly, AI can scale almost infinitely without becoming an operational bottleneck—and that has profound implications for how organizations are designed, staffed, and managed.

Key Takeaways:

  • A team can only handle so many tickets.
  • A sales rep can only follow up with so many leads.
  • A designer can only produce so many assets per week.
  • A compliance officer can only review so many contracts.
  • Process **hundreds or thousands of tasks in parallel**.
