There are many tools to learn, which can feel somewhat overwhelming.
Ken
need to be relentless to get all data online and the energy put against this challenge needs to persist
Casey
there is a lot of information at once sometimes it can feel overwhelming digesting it all and seeing what might be applicable; for finance team specifically there is a lot of nuance in some of the tasks we do that are time consuming so it will be interesting to see how we can continue to build some things out

-once we go through this deployment + experimentation phase, we will need to move towards a phase of integration + optimization... i..e really concentrate the resources on the things that matter the most (scoring, prioritization, deep and differentiated diligence) that will move the needle for how we find and invest in the best companies
Brooke
Scheduled tasks - I haven't set up very many because the few I have don't work great.
Bryan
More room for improvement in 1) sourcing (scoring / company recommendations) and 2) accuracy of responses - at times Claude skills rely on the wrong info source for a given question (ie portco questions should go straight to internal data, not to pitchbook), 3) Claude stability / response times
Lucy
I feel like it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the options and define what the 'end goal' is in a more tangible way

- One of the best uses of AI should be taking all our past closed deals and passes and synthesizing the common threads, patterns and biases that we should be aware of on the next deal, haven't seen any of this yet
- For example, 100% or 80% of our 3x+ investments all had these 3-5 factors and likewise most poor investments had XX attributes as well
- More focus on standard AI tools for sourcing - many AI companies are already tackling using AI for diligence and this is already commoditized, getting there first and building the best relationships with companies is where team members will be needed and can build Stripes' edge
Kaylee
Still having a hard time understanding my potential with AI

Feels like there's been a bit of start here, now stop, and start using this other tool here- some of this likely is inevitable in this type of change/transition. I appreciate the AI office hours, but would apprecaite seeing more focused team-specific AI working sessions. For some things, it feels more beneficial to have smaller groups together to understand more of our team priorities, the path we are focused on, and how some of our individual AI updates can fit into the team's end goal updated AI/workflow picture.

I personally feel behind as a leader - know my team is all using it well and coming up the curve, building everyday but with my own schedule I haven’t been able to prioritize learning myself - although I know it’s super easy once you start. But I feel less capable today given lack of time to experiment as a builder myself. Would love some more hands on help there at some point. I don’t feel I fully understand all the capabilities and don’t want to be behind. Also would love to understand what others are building across the organization to learn what and how we can use better. I think / wonder if there are other admin capabilities or cross functional capabilities that we should build and roll out as a priority that could be helpful like with scheduling? Know there’s some tinkering there but not sure how much it’s been used or effective. There’s so much evolving and happening or rolling out each day - not sure I or others are able to keep up with everything availability, and how to use.

Implementing into my daily tasks while working through my projects seems to be time consuming/keep running into errors that I have trouble figuring out but need to come back to after my tasks/projects are completed
