Hello folks,

It’s happening. Gen AI is taking jobs. Klarna replaces 700 jobs with AI. Turnitin did the same.

The old adage still applies: “You won’t be replaced by Gen AI, you’ll be replaced by someone who uses Gen AI“

Let’s get right into it.

📕 LEARN SOMETHING

Create an app from an image with Power Apps

It’s worth knowing that Power Apps has always had this feature, but it’s so much better now with the GPT and Vision revolution.

You can sketch any image, and convert it into an app.

Unfortunately, it only creates the designs and doesn’t add any workflow capabilities, but I’m sure that will change in the future.

How to do it:

• Open up Power Apps

• Select Create an App —> From Image

• Upload a sketch of your image. Make sure it’s clean, on a white background, and clearly labelled

• Select Create and watch the magic happen

By the way, if you haven’t used Power Apps yet, you are missing out. It’s an amazing no-code app builder by Microsoft.

🤿 DEEP DIVE

Klarna replaces 700 customer agents with AI

Intelligence: Klarna, a leading fintech company, has made headlines for its use of artificial intelligence, notably an AI chatbot that performs the work of 700 customer service agents.

Specifics:

• Klarna's AI chatbot handles two-thirds of the company's customer service inquiries, resulting in a 25% reduction in repeat inquiries.

• The chatbot's introduction led to a decrease in the need for full-time customer service agents from an average of 3,000 to a little over 2,000.

• The AI implementation has reportedly saved Klarna $40 million in customer service expenses.

Significance: It underscores the implications of AI adoption in the workplace, especially concerning job displacement. A real life example of how AI can improve efficiency and reduce costs, but also raises important questions about the future of work
