Key Takeaways

1

Implement 'digital employees' using tools like Lindy to automate meeting prep, calendar management, and email drafting, effectively removing high-frequency admin work from human assistants.

2

Conduct regular business 'evals' every 3-6 months by testing current AI models against specific company tasks to identify the exact moment a human workflow can be fully automated.

3

Apply a 'Charisma Discount' when evaluating opportunities from highly persuasive founders or content creators to ensure you are separating their personality from the actual quality of the investment.
