ON THIS EPISODE

➤ Why 75% of employees are using unapproved AI tools right now

➤ How to consolidate AI usage onto one secure, compliant platform

➤ Live demonstration of no-code agent building for HR, sales, and operations

➤ Real enterprise security: SOC2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance explained

➤ Managing AI chat logs and preventing data leaks

➤ Building custom agents that integrate with your existing systems

What happens when IT leaders stop fearing employee AI usage and start securing it?

In this special live demo episode, Aaron Bailey, General Manager of Devs.ai, tackles the number one concern keeping IT leaders awake at night: employees using unsecured AI tools that leak company data to the world.

Instead of the usual “buy our AI” pitch, Aaron demonstrates why security and governance matter more than features—and how enterprises can give employees access to every major LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more) for $30/month per seat instead of $230, while maintaining complete control over data, compliance, and usage.

Phil Howard puts Aaron through the paces with real-world scenarios: Can it handle 3,000-page legal document reviews? Can HR build an agent without coding? What happens when an employee downloads your customer list and quits the next day?
