Description
AI works. The question is whether the team that bought it has ever sat at the workstation that's supposed to use it.
The Last Mile is a podcast about the hardest part of enterprise AI — the gap between a generalizable model and the messy reality of a specific customer's operations. Frameworks, war stories, and the economics of making deployments actually land.
