In this week's episode, Luis Alvarez shares about what it means to treat AI like a coworker, not a tool. He breaks down how his MSP is using an AI agent named Fred to assist with tickets, client communication, Microsoft Teams support, dispatch workflows, documentation, and technician enablement. We also explore the cultural side of AI adoption, why clients still value human relationships, and how AI may force MSPs to rethink pricing, efficiency, and outcomes-based business models.
