Ameya Paratkar — Product Manager
I didn’t get into AI because it was exciting. I got into AI because I kept watching good people struggle with bad software. The moment that changed everything for me wasn’t dramatic. It was a Tuesday morning. A finance manager was trying to pull last quarter’s budget numbers. Not a futuristic AI task. Not “innovation.” Just… a basic thing she needed to do her job. I watched her click through six screens, three dashboards, two PDFs, and a knowledge base article that hadn’t been updated in months. When she finally gave up, she laughed in that tired way, people do when the thing slowing them down is the very tool that’s supposed to help them. And I remember thinking: “If software can put a rover on Mars, why does it still exhaust the people sitting right in front of it?” The cognitive load of unknows gets too much sometimes. That question has shaped every product I’ve built since. At 6sense, working on AI for 15,000+ sales reps, I learned that reps don’t care how smart your model is — only whether it helps them make one better decision today. At Whizible, when an AI workflow quietly drove a 32% adoption lift and 100% retention on key accounts, it wasn’t because we used cutting-edge algorithms. It was because we built around the real way people work, not the way product decks pretend they do. And today at Bloomfire, building the next generation of Ask AI, I think back to that Tuesday morning often. Because every time an employee types a question into a system, there’s a tiny moment of hope: “Maybe this one will finally give me an answer.” My work is about honoring that hope. I obsess over the quiet moments — the sigh before someone searches, the small smile when something finally works, the “oh wow” that slips out when an AI tool actually helps, not hinders. That’s why I believe: 70% accurate AI that saves two hours a week is more meaningful than 95% accuracy that adds more steps. It’s not the brilliance of the model that matters. It’s the relief it creates. If you’re building AI for real people, doing real work, on real Tuesday mornings — we’re already on the same page. Always open to conversations about AI product strategy, enterprise software, storytelling for adoption, and why most AI fails quietly long before anyone notices.
