ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In the 73rd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, host Evan Reiser (CEO and co-founder, Abnormal AI) talks with Sean Perry (Chief Information Officer, Kelly). Founded in 1946, Kelly pioneered temporary staffing and today places talent across professional, industrial, science, engineering, technology, and education. Sean explains why Kelly mapped depth of AI use by job level before deciding where to invest, how Kelly built Grace, an internal assistant that brings AI to every employee and guides them to the right prompts and models, and why he expects on-device models to reshape the economics of enterprise AI.
Quick Hits from Sean:
On reducing friction for recruiters: "By injecting that right there on the page, we've given them one-click actions that have been really well received."
On moving from seats to usage-based pricing: "When we made the transition from seat-based to usage-based licensing, we saw the volume of usage drop by 30% from Friday to Monday."
On reading consumption reports: "Not so that I can go audit them, but because I want to figure out who's got new use cases."
