About this episode

What happens when you give every employee access to the paid version of ChatGPT? At Knownwell, it wasn’t just a tech decision—it was a culture shift.

Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker, CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao explore the real-world implications of a strategic move: providing company-wide access to ChatGPT. They share what sparked the decision and how a structured rollout strategy transformed productivity, communication, and innovation across the team. They also dive into what smart deployment looks like, from setting enterprise controls to embedding AI within your company's OKRs.

Pete Buer kicks off the episode with an eye-opening look at Apple’s latest research into large language model reasoning and why businesses must approach AI tools with both optimism and caution. He unpacks the importance of human-AI collaboration and encourages leaders to ditch the “magic wand” mindset.

Also in this episode: Part two of Pete’s interview with Ardy Tripathy, AI lead at OpsCanvas. Ardy reveals how AI can help eliminate “zombie resources” in cloud infrastructure, streamline CI/CD pipelines, and enhance visibility across systems. He also offers practical tips for CEOs on how to lead AI experimentation without losing control.

This episode is a must-listen for leaders navigating the AI learning curve, and for teams wondering what enterprise-wide access really unlocks.
