Video summary
Pete Cooper says he spent one hour with a colleague and saved the colleague's company $10,000 a year. He started by meeting the person where they were, running a diagnosis of their current ability with AI, and then levelling them up to the next stage.
In his account, by the end of that hour the colleague had gone from spending five hours a week generating reports to doing it in under ten minutes. He reaches the $10,000 figure from five hours a week over 52 weeks at the rates of the colleague and his staff. The cost, he says, was one hour of time and a $17 monthly subscription to the LLM they used. These are his own figures from the clip.

Now, I just spent 1 hour with a colleague of mine, and I saved his company $10, 000 a year. If you want to know how I did it, I'll tell you. First of all, I spent an hour with them, and we met them where they are. So, I knew this person, and I primed them, and I said, "Okay, let me understand where you're at. " We did a diagnostics on where they're at in terms of their capability. Then we said, "We're going to level you up from where you are to the next level in terms of your ability to use AI. " Throughout that 1 hour, we were able to take that person from spending 5 hours a week generating reports to doing that in under 10 minutes.
Now, 5 hours a week * 52 weeks his rate and his staff's rate, that's easily $10, 000 a year. Now, how much did it cost him? 1 hour of his time and $17 a month for the subscription to the particular LLM we're using. That's the kind of leverage you can get with AI.
