Ehsan's Recommendation

Founders often ask me whether to invest in more headcount or better tooling. For ai writing and ai chat tools. With Claude feeding into Perplexity AI, you remove the biggest friction point in most hr automation workflows. The biggest wins come from the second and third workflows you build, not the first. Plan for iteration.
