What was said on Built This Week

From Episode 39: This AI Tool Turns Meetings Into Jira Tickets Instantly, starting at 17:29.

Jordan Metzner [17:28]: No. Really great episode. Obviously, this one's a little bit different as we were able to bring, one of our teammates in, Matias, and show off what he is building. But I think it's all within the ethos of Built This Week and kind of what our podcast is all about, which is, building AI products to serve your own personal needs and corporate needs. And, I think he did a really great job building something that's gonna be pretty scalable within our organization and, could be scalable with on that beyond that. So, yeah, really fun to chat with him. And, yeah, it was a really, really fun, exciting episode.

Sam Nadler [17:59]: Yeah, totally. I mean, one of the things that I'm most proud about of Built This Week is like actually presenting builds that people probably can just get inspired from and apply to their own organization right away. And, also, I think we've done a really good job of, like, inspiring a sense of purpose with AI, especially with our nontechnical teammates and instead of, like, creating a culture of fear, a culture of empowerment. And I think we're able to demonstrate that with Matias. And this is all really new for us, but it does seem like we're getting questioned by some of our clients about how we're doing this. So it's just really exciting, in my opinion, not a state of fear, but a state of excitement to, like, be, inspiring people to use AI.

Jordan Metzner [18:49]: Yeah. I think it just shows how empowering and how powerful it is and democratizing it is. And, yeah, I mean, I think we can talk next week about what impact this has on the software industry overall. But, yeah, it just shows how AI just allows for a non zero sum game, and allows for you to build something from nothing, really quickly. And, I think, Matias told me he's so proud of what he built. He showed his girlfriend and he is just saying, how happy he was about, being proud of something, building something from the ground up. So anyway, great episode. Really fun to chat. Can't wait till next week's episode, Sam. I will see you soon. Don't forget to like and subscribe. See you soon, everybody. Have a good one.

Sam Nadler [19:26]: Thank you.

Jordan Metzner [19:27]: Bye bye.
