PRESENTED BY CONVERGENCE AI
Meet your own personal AI Agent, for everything…Proxy
Imagine if you had a digital clone to do your tasks for you. Well, meet Proxy…
Last week, Convergence, the London based AI start-up revealed Proxy to the world, the first general AI Agent.
Users are asking things like “Book my trip to Paris and find a restaurant suitable for an interview” or “Order a grocery delivery for me with a custom weekly meal plan”.
You can train it how you choose, so all Proxy’s are different, and personalised to how you teach it. The more you teach it, the more it learns about your personal work flows and begins to automate them.

🤖 Strategies for AI-Steady and AI-Accelerated Organizations
To use AI safely and effectively in your organization, start by deciding how quickly you want to adopt it. If your organization is using AI, first figure out if you’re moving at an “AI-steady” pace or an “AI-accelerated” one.
AI-Steady Pace - For organizations with smaller AI goals or less impact from AI:
Focus on Productivity: Help employees effectively use AI in daily tasks.
Control Costs: Monitor AI spending like cloud expenses.
Tech Sandwich Approach: Balance centralized IT-managed data with department-specific AI tools.
Governance Matters: Set up a responsible AI team to ensure safe and ethical AI use.
Manage Change: Support employees as they adapt to AI tools.
AI-Accelerated Pace - For organizations with big AI ambitions or industries transformed by AI:
Beyond Productivity: Innovate processes, models, and revenue streams.
Real-Time Cost Tracking: Avoid overspending by actively monitoring AI costs.
Custom Tech Sandwich: Combine in-house and external AI tools to fit your needs.
Use TRiSM: Ensure safety with automated trust and risk management tools.
Employee Adaptation: Address concerns like anxiety and ensure smooth AI adoption.
Why it matters: To make AI successful, focus on three things: helping the business grow with better productivity and new ideas, setting up technology to handle data securely, and supporting employees as they adapt to AI. Involve your team and ensure your systems are ready to get the best results from AI.
