How should I think about and approach AI

Right now, everyone’s talking about AI. Some say it’ll replace every job. Others say it’s just hype. If you’re leading a business, it’s hard to know what’s real—and what actually matters today.

At SOLVD.cloud, we help companies use AI and automation in ways that actually work—right now, not someday in the future.

So let’s talk about what AI is, how to think about it, and what you should be doing today to stay ahead.

“We will focus on things that you can automate today, with an understanding that capabilities are expanding rapidly.” – Evan Connell, SOLVD Consulting Manager

Don’t Think of AI as Magic—Think of It as Smarter Automation

Every business runs on tasks: things that people or systems do that create value. Over time, some of those tasks can be automated—meaning they get done faster, cheaper, or with fewer mistakes.

That’s not new. The industrial revolution did it. So did the digital transformation. AI is just the next step.

“Automation wasn’t invented at the same time as AI. This is nothing new.” – Evan Connell, SOLVD Consulting Manager

Today, AI—especially large language models (LLMs)—can handle tasks that used to require human effort, like writing, summarizing, responding to emails, or analyzing data. And that opens up big opportunities for businesses that are ready to use it.

Early Movers Win. Slow Movers Fall Behind.

History shows something simple: once a task can be automated, it will be automated. The only question is who will do it first.

“Companies that are early to that automation shift will enjoy huge profits… while companies that are slow to adopt will watch their margins shrink.” – Evan Connell, SOLVD Consulting Manager

If your competitors are doing the same work faster and for less money, they’ll gain market share. And if you’re still doing things manually, you’ll struggle to keep up.

That’s why now is the time to act—not later.

Focus on What AI Can Do for You Today

At SOLVD.cloud, we’re not here to sell you some far-off dream. We help you build smart systems that solve real problems right now.

Instead of worrying about whether AI will take over everything, focus on these questions:

  • What tasks are slowing your team down?
  • Where are you spending time on repeat work?
  • What’s already possible to automate with tools like Salesforce and AI?

When you start there, you’ll see faster wins—and you’ll lay the groundwork for long-term success.

“Our goal is to help companies be those early adopters and do the things that make sense right now.” – Evan Connell, SOLVD Consulting Manager

The Bottom Line

AI isn’t just hype. And it’s not something to fear. It’s a tool—and like every powerful tool, it rewards the people who use it early.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building smart, AI-powered systems for your business, we can help.

Testimonials

Our clients say

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!

Veronica Wong Director of Operations at Pathstream

SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.

Matt Benzaquen Sr Manager, Sales Strategy at Instabug

As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
