Author: Maryrose Lyons June 1, 2025 Duration: 22:13

Paul Kortman - OG of Zapier and founder of Connex Digital - joins us to talk about the future of automation, noCode, and the shift towards smarter SaaS. We unpack why copy-pasting, exporting data, and checklist-chasing are red flags that scream automate me. Paul shares how AI is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and why the real win isn't replacing jobs - it's freeing up brains for better thinking.

From empowering citizen developers to building Emailstream.ai for email sanity, this episode is packed with real-world examples and bold takes on where automation is headed next.

Maryrose Lyons brings her experience from the AI Institute to Chatting GPT, a podcast that digs into the practical realities of artificial intelligence. Instead of theoretical discussions, these are grounded conversations with the directors, founders, and strategists who are implementing AI solutions right now. You’ll hear from people who have moved their organizations beyond pilot projects into genuine transformation, sharing what worked, what didn’t, and why. The focus often lands on the built environment-exploring how AI is actively reshaping design processes, construction methodologies, and facility management from the studio to the job site. This series is built on the premise that the most valuable lessons come from those with hands-on experience. Each episode unpacks the human decisions behind the technology, offering tangible insights for professionals in technology, business, and education who are navigating their own courses. By listening to this podcast, you gain access to a rare dialogue about applied intelligence, where the conversation is always rooted in real-world execution and impact.
