Most companies talk about AI.

Very few actually implement it in production.

In this episode of Business AI Explained, Vladimir de Ziegler sits down with Alexis d'Eudeville, AI Product Manager at Lemlist, to discuss how AI is being used inside real companies.

Alexis shares practical lessons from building AI products, launching startups, and working at Google.

Business AI Explained is a podcast about how AI actually gets implemented inside real companies.

I’m Vlad Ziegler, founder of Elements Agents.

For the past two years, I’ve helped companies move from “we want to use AI” to actual production systems that drive measurable ROI.

Every conversation starts the same:

“We want to use AI. We just don’t know where to begin.”

The gap isn’t technical knowledge.

It’s operational knowledge:

→ What actually works in production?
→ What breaks after launch?
→ What’s the realistic ROI timeline?
→ How do teams structure AI internally?
→ What mistakes cost companies months?

This podcast is about real implementation stories.

No hype.
No theory.
No futurism.

Just operators sharing what they built, what failed, and what worked.

Launching February 24th with three episodes:

→ Abraham Gomez (Google) on AI in GTM
→ Eliott Wertheimer (VanMoof CEO) on rebuilding after bankruptcy
→ David Arnoux on structuring AI GTM teams

New episodes every Tuesday.
