The Machines Did Not Make Us Redundant (Just Yet)
summary
Godel reports concrete outcomes: five of six customer engagements adopt AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Devon AI) by late 2025, internal R&D shows ~17.5× ROI—one FTE saved against ~$400/month tooling—and early rollouts reveal initial slowdowns then gains. Adoption succeeds with hands‑on training (10–15 people, ~10 hours over three weeks), cross‑team hackathons, an AI heroes cohort, an AI readiness assessment and moves toward spec-driven development plus metrics for usage depth, sentiment and lead time.
