AI Teammates Changes Everything

AI is changing the way businesses operate, but according to Alice Chen, the biggest opportunity is not just using AI as a tool. It is learning to treat AI as a teammate. In this conversation with REBL Risty, Alice shares how she first used AI to complete work that would normally take a junior analyst three weeks in just three days. That experience shifted her entire perspective and opened the door to using AI as a second brain, chief of staff, and thinking partner. Together, Alice and REBL explore how AI teammates can support sales, lead follow-up, appointment setting, customer conversations, operations, and even founder knowledge transfer through digital twins. They also talk about the fear and resistance many business owners feel, especially those who have relied heavily on human assistants or traditional workflows. The message is clear: AI fluency is no longer optional. Business owners do not need to become engineers, but they do need to understand how AI can help them save time, improve consistency, scale outreach, and remove bottlenecks inside their companies.
