#AIfirst company is emerging as a term that deserves real attention, not just another consultant’s buzzword. But can an incumbent truly transform to become AI-first, as Intuit is attempting, or must it be designed that way from inception, like Tesla?This piece defines what an AI-first company is, describes its defining characteristics, and provides examples of corporations undergoing this #transformation.
What’s great is how AI-first companies measure success differently: smaller teams, faster insight-to-action cycles and real-time adaptation. They’ve fundamentally reimagined productivity metrics around AI amplification rather than human replacement.

2wLove this take, Evangelos. “AI-first” isn't just tech—it’s a mindset, a systems-level commitment. In my work with high-ticket founders, it’s clear: retrofitting AI into legacy ops rarely works without rethinking decision layers and workflows. Curious—what’s one internal barrier you see most often blocking that shift?
