Most AI projects fail long before the model gets a fair chance to prove ROI. In this episode of An Hour of Innovation podcast, Vit Lyoshin speaks with Sid Bharath, founder of Refound, about why companies struggle to turn AI projects into real business value. Sid explains why big “AI makeover” projects often disappoint, why better models alone do not fix broken workflows, and how teams can identify the smallest useful piece of work to automate before scaling agents across the business. The conversation covers workflow audits, AI-native organizations, human-in-the-loop work, AI agents in sales and operations, and the skills people need as repetitive work moves to AI.
