#56 AI: The new steam engine of knowledge work? Tim Wegner, Workist


Artificial intelligence is seen as just as revolutionary as mobile phones or the internet. For several months now, AI has increasingly become a part of our daily work lives—even for knowledge workers. One of the most frequently asked questions is: Can’t AI do this for me?

AI-based tools have become an integral part of everyday work. Today, anyone talking about digitalization in the workplace cannot ignore the optimization of work processes. Typing up receipts or recording invoices are among the repetitive tasks that were previously associated with manual entry and long working hours.

Our guest today, Tim Wegner, founder and managing director of Workist, recognized the need for an intelligent software solution to optimize work processes. “We want to be the medicine, not the diagnosis,” says Tim Wegner. The idea behind Workist: using AI to process documents such as orders, invoices, and delivery notes, automatically extracting all relevant information to fully automate business operations.

Key question today: Letting artificial intelligence do the work – is AI the new knowledge worker?
