Is integrating human-centric AI technology into a business model a winning formula? Let’s find out.

In terms of colossal endeavours, Amazon is building its largest-ever warehouse. The site spans 4.1 million square feet and is 97 stories tall. This gigantic stock room symbolizes Amazon’s belief that it can efficiently sell goods and swiftly replenish its inventory. For Amazon, that’s a winning formula.

Yet, there is an even vaster stock room — the World Wide Web (the web). The web boosts 2.96 billion pages (some say it’s more). Guess who owns the lion’s share of those pages. Businesses! There are over 2 billion websites on the web.

Do you or your organization own a website? Then you likely get what I am saying.

In pursuing a winning formula, many businesses seek ways to move products swiftly and efficiently. But what happens when they keep sitting on the fence, riddled by the fear of automation? What happens then to the winning formula?

This article aims to arm you with the tools to guide your people off the fence so they can buy what you offer. We will tactfully address how to overcome fears associated with AI automation.

Are you ready?

APIs build a robust business muscle.

Your people may not know what an API is and what it does. Let us face it. Simply tossing around buzzwords won’t cut it. We must remove jargon from our communication.

So, what is an API exactly?

Here’s an analogy you can use: Picture an API as a vein that connects the muscle of your business to an AI brain. For peak performance, your business muscle needs increased blood flow. APIs are the veins enhancing the circulation of information in your online systems.

What is an immediate benefit of an API? It empowers you to build a robust business muscle, setting you apart from the vast sea of 2 billion websites.

Sea of Websites

APIs make online systems communicate seamlessly.

In a world plagued by complexity, we all crave simplicity. We want things to flow without giving us a headache. We aim for easy and do not want “It’s complicated.”

It’s time to address the elephant in the room.
