In this episode of Financial Modeler’s Corner, host Paul Barnhurst, alongside cohosts Ian Schnoor and Giles Male, explores the rise of AI-powered automation, agentic workflows, Copilot Studio, and why many business processes were automatable long before AI entered the conversation.

It's awareness. For years, repetitive tasks sat untouched.

Not because they couldn't be automated.

Because most people didn't know where to start.

Now, AI is shining a spotlight on inefficiencies that have existed all along.

That's changing how professionals think about work.

The smartest teams aren't asking what AI can do.

They're asking what process should be improved first.
