When is AI Integration REALLY Worth the Hype?
What Makes AI Truly Useful?
Good morning everyone! In this iteration, we discuss the biggest problem with AI: usefulness vs. pure marketing (hype).
Every company uses AI, but often, it feels more like hype than something that truly helps you get things done… So, how do you spot the difference between AI that actually solves real problems and AI that’s just there for the sake of being trendy?

So, AI is being integrated into almost every tool we use these days. It’s in tools like Google Colab Notebooks, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to improve coding workflows, suggesting code and helping debug faster. Another great example is Grammarly, which uses AI to improve writing by suggesting grammar corrections and style improvements instantly.
