// community call =C2=B7 recap

*********************
you missed a good one
*********************

hey Alvaro, you missed out, but it's too good not to share.

last week's call got into the real stuff =E2=80=94 not what AI can theoreti=
cally do, but what's actually blocking companies from getting it to work at=
 an enterprise level. John, Bobby, and Jordan walked through the data probl=
em that so many energy companies are running into right now.

// questions that came up

=E2=80=94 should you extract everything into structured tables, or keep the=
 documents as source of truth?

=E2=80=94 what separates companies that deploy AI effectively from those th=
at can't?

=E2=80=94 cloud vs. on-prem for inference =E2=80=94 where does it land for =
operators?

=E2=80=94 for a company not yet collecting data, how do you make the case i=
nternally?

"the models are no longer the cap or the limit to your application or your =
use case. normally, if you're having struggles, it's because of the data it=
self."

watch the replay =E2=86=92 ( https://app.collide.io/posts/community-call-ho=

if you want context before you watch, we also put together a resource that =
walks through how operators are approaching the data problem right now.
