harpix techcast #22 - BRUNO FAZOLI (Let's Bot)

AI is not a genie in a lamp. Bruno Fazoli, CEO of Let's Bot, bluntly states: 80% of companies that have implemented artificial intelligence have not seen productivity gains. And the reason is almost never the technology. It's the data. In this episode of Harpix Tech Cast, Bruno explains why putting robust AI on top of disorganized data is like having a Ferrari without gas, and shows the real path: data and process maturity before the hype. ✅ Why 80% of companies haven't seen productivity gains with AI, and what separates those that have? ✅ The token cost strategy: using free tools to structure the idea and only paying upon execution. ✅ What is RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) explained without technical jargon, and when it's not useful. ✅ How a multi-agent architecture gave 2 developers the productivity of 20 people. ✅ Why dirty data drops AI accuracy from 95% to 60%, and how Bruno solved it. ABOUT THE GUEST: Bruno Fazoli is CEO and founder of Let's Bot, a company focused on training and implementing artificial intelligence (rebranded as Let's IA), and MBA coordinator at FIAP.
