In this episode of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur, host Tom Hunt is joined by Tim Cakir, Founder of AI Operator, to deliver a masterclass on achieving operational efficiency through AI. Tim shares his journey from a growth consultant to an "AI-first" specialist, detailing how the real secret to growth lies in optimising systems and removing repetitive, boring tasks. He reveals that the biggest easy wins for B2B automation involve reporting, streamlining data access, and answering internal FAQs, offering a case study where a custom GPT saved field sales teams fifteen hours a month each. Tim tackles the fear of job redundancy directly, arguing that learning AI makes an employee "unstoppable," enabling a team of 75 to generate the output of 750. Furthermore, he delves into the transformative "agentic era," explaining how new tool-calling agents - which can perform deep research and run virtual computers - are allowing entrepreneurs to "vibe code" and build bespoke internal tools faster than ever before.
