$72K in AI Savings Without the Hype
I deploy AI tools daily and implement them for clients. Here's the unsexy reality of what actually saves money versus what just sounds good in a keynote.
Most "AI strategy" decks are a list of vendors. Real savings come from boring automation around three workflows.
Reporting
A digital agency was burning 18 hours a week building client performance reports by hand. We piped Google Ads + GA4 into a templated Claude workflow. 18 hours became 30 minutes of review.
Ad management
Daily bid checks and creative rotation triggered by performance thresholds. Mid-level media buyer freed to do the work that needs judgment.
Data extraction
PDF invoices and onboarding intake forms parsed straight into the CRM. Onboarding lead time cut in half.
This is the kind of thing I cover inside AI-Powered Operations — implementation, not theater.
