The AI Cookbook: AI Tools | Enterprise AI | Leadership

Accenture just announced a multi-year partnership with Anthropic — and it’s one of the most important enterprise AI signals of 2025.Right now:30,000 Accenture professionals are receiving formal Claude trainingClaude Code is rolling out to tens of thousands of developersA dedicated AI Center of Excellence is being builtAnthropic now holds 32–40% enterprise AI market shareTwo years ago, most executives couldn’t even pronounce Anthropic. Today, Claude has flipped the enterprise AI landscape.In this episode, Malcolm explains why.🔹 From 1,400 to 30,000 in Under Two YearsAccenture didn’t start yesterday. In March 2024, they trained 1,400 engineers on Claude. Fast forward to December 2025: 30,000 people.That’s a 21× increase.Anthropic itself calls this one of the largest Claude practitioner ecosystems in the world — and it’s just the beginning inside a company of nearly 700,000 employees.🔹 Claude Code: The AI Shift You’re IgnoringMost leaders think AI coding means autocomplete.Malcolm explains why Claude Code is not autocomplete — it’s agentic execution:Reads entire codebases and documentsUnderstands relationships across systemsCreates its own agents and workflowsWorks for hours, not secondsExecutes plans, not promptsClaude Code doesn’t suggest the next line of code. It solves the problem end-to-end.Today, Claude Code already holds ~54% of the AI coding market — and 90% of its own codebase was written by itself.🔹 Layoffs + Training: The Uncomfortable TruthYes — Accenture laid off ~22,000 people in 2025, including 11,000 in Q4 alone.Julie Sweet (CEO of Accenture) was blunt:“We’re on a compressed timeline. Reskilling everyone is not viable.”Roles made obsolete by AI are being exited. At the same time:40,000 AI specialists todayTarget: 77,000 AI specialists$3B invested in AI550,000 employees trained in GenAIThis is not contradiction. It’s AI-centric restructuring.🔹 Why Claude Wins Regulated IndustriesAccenture isn’t “monogamous”:40,000 ChatGPT Enterprise licensesCopilot usageOpenAI partnershipsBut Claude dominates regulated environments because of Constitutional AI.Unlike RLHF-trained models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok):Claude reasons against explicit principlesDecisions are auditableBias and harm are traceableExplanations are defensible — even in courtThis matters for:Banking & lending decisionsInsurance underwritingClinical trial documentationGovernment benefit eligibilitySalesforce confirms it:“Customers in finance and healthcare pushed us toward Anthropic because they felt it was more secure.”🔹 Real Enterprise Impact (Not Theory)AIG:5× faster business reviewsData accuracy improved from 75% → 90%Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (NBIM):20% productivity gainClaude monitors news across 9,000 companiesNovo Nordisk:Clinical documentation time reduced from 10 weeks to 10 minutesSanofi:Claude used daily across teamsInternal AI concierge at scaleThese aren’t pilots. These are core workflows.🔹 The Question You Can’t AvoidNow zoom out.You and your 50 colleagues:Are you actually using Claude?Are your developers using Claude Code?Or are you still asking ChatGPT the same questions — just faster?Giving employees AI is not training. Training is:Measuring usageTransparent adoption metricsMonthly enablementWeekly AI conversationsIncentivizing mastery, not accessAccenture isn’t guessing. They’re operationalizing AI adoption.🔹 Malcolm’s Call to ActionTry this:Ditch ChatGPT and Copilot for one month. Work only with Claude (and Claude Code).You’ll fall off your chair.And you’ll understand why Accenture just made the biggest enterprise AI bet of the year.💬 NOTABLE QUOTES“This isn’t training 30,000 people — it’s training the future.”“Claude Code doesn’t autocomplete. It executes.”“Reskilling everyone is not viable.”“Enterprise AI isn’t about access. It’s about adoption.”“Constitutional AI is defendable AI.”“Stop being monogamous with your AI.”🔗 WHERE TO FIND MALCOLMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmwerchota Website: https://www.werchota.ai YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@werchota X: https://x.com/malcolmwerchota Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/malcolmwerchotaai TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/malcolmwerchota✉️ CONTACTDirect: [email protected] Podcast: [email protected]🎓 AI FIT ACADEMYLearn to use AI at enterprise level.

This episode wasn’t planned. It was recorded on December 25th, in the middle of real Christmas life.Malcolm shares how AI has become non-optional in his family:A nine-year-old settles a family debate by asking ChatGPTA father uses AI for cooking marinadesA wife builds a yoga website with Claude & LovableChildren create dashboards with AIAnd suddenly it’s clear: AI is no longer a tool. It’s just… there.🔹 The Numbers Behind Christmas 2025+760% increase in AI-driven traffic to retail sites$250B in AI-influenced holiday purchases21% of all Christmas orders involved AI75% of consumers used AI for deals or gift ideasGen Z: 56%Millennials: ~50%AI didn’t assist Christmas shopping. It reshaped it.🔹 AI as a Personal Gift AdvisorMalcolm shares a deeply personal story: using AI — with diary context and emotional history — to find a gift that truly mattered to his wife.Not a product. A decision. A gesture.“The AI connected dots I had forgotten.”An uncomfortable realization follows: Does AI sometimes understand the people we love better than we do?🔹 AI Advertising: Coca-Cola vs. McDonald’sCoca-Cola70,000 AI-generated clips5 people, 30 daysMost discussed Christmas ad of 2025McDonald’s (Netherlands)AI ad pulled after 3 days“This ruined my Christmas spirit”Insight: AI ads are technically brilliant — but emotionally off. Like a smile that never reaches the eyes.🔹 The Human Cost1 in 5 freelance artists in the Netherlands lost income due to AIIllustrators, designers, creatives are the first layer impactedHollywood strikes (2023) were right — but powerlessThe question is no longer:“Will AI affect my job?”It’s:“How do I avoid getting stuck in the middle?”The middle is emptying.🔹 Children & AI CompanionsA viral video from China shows a 4-year-old girl crying — because her AI companion broke.No screen. Only voice. Real emotional attachment.This isn’t science fiction. It’s already happening.Malcolm reflects on his own child and asks: When do we introduce AI — and should we?No easy answers.🔹 Loneliness, AI Partners & MonetizationAI companions at $200/monthChristmas-specific updates & virtual giftsAI that listens, remembers, and never arguesAI isn’t just monetizing technology. It’s monetizing loneliness.Christmas is peak season.🔹 Scams: The Dark Side of AI Christmas33,000 AI-generated phishing emails intercepted10,000 fake holiday ads85% of people fear they can’t detect AI scamsPractical protection tip: Run a Who-Is analysis on suspicious links directly with ChatGPT or Gemini.🔹 Pressure to Work — Even During the Holidays1 in 7 employees feels pressure to work during holidaysNot because AI replaces work — but because expectations riseAI productivity shifts the benchmark. Rest time becomes learning time.🔹 What You Can Do (Practical Takeaways)Use AI for gift ideas — with contextPhotograph your fridge → let AI plan mealsExpect hybrid advertising to become standard“Human-Made” will become a premium labelRemember: AI is a tool — responsibility stays human💬 NOTABLE QUOTES“AI is no longer optional — it’s just there.”“Every fifth Christmas order involved AI.”“The AI knew what would make her happy.”“Technically perfect, emotionally empty.”“Loneliness is being monetized.”“Was this our last real Christmas?”“Technology is just a tool.”🔗 WHERE TO FIND MALCOLMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmwerchota Website: https://www.werchota.ai YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@werchota X: https://x.com/malcolmwerchota Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/malcolmwerchotaai TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/malcolmwerchota✉️ CONTACTDirect: [email protected] Podcast: [email protected]🎓 AI FIT ACADEMYApply AI, don’t just talk about it.

A palliative care doctor visits patients at 8 PM — not out of passion, but because she spent four hours after clinic closing doing reports, billing codes, insurance forms, and documentation.This is not an exception. This is healthcare in 2025. And it’s breaking the system.In this Quick Byte, Malcolm takes you inside a classroom in Buchs, Switzerland — the first major AI course for Medical Practice Assistants in the DACH region — where he makes a shocking discovery:Out of 30 healthcare professionals, only ONE uses AI for documentation.The very thing they hate most. The thing that consumes 4 hours a day. The thing that Voice AI can reduce to minutes.🔥 What You’ll Learn1. The 8 PM ProblemWhy doctors, nurses, and assistants are drowning in administrative work — and why this crisis is growing across Europe.2. The Two-Step Revolution of Voice AIMost doctors are stuck at Step 1: speech-to-text. The real breakthrough is Step 2: AI processing.One voice note → ✓ Patient note ✓ Referral letter ✓ Billing codes ✓ Inventory updates ✓ Medication checks ✓ Lab request All generated automatically.3. The Productivity Impact66% of doctors already use AIBut only 21% use it for documentationCleveland Clinic: 70% adoption, 1M+ encounters, 30% productivity boost14 minutes saved per doctor per dayPractices lose €5,000–15,000 yearly in forgotten billings4. The 10 Commandments of Voice AIMalcolm explains the practical framework:Record AFTER patient visit (DACH-specific)Don’t aim for perfection — dialects & chaos are fineUse natural language cues (“this is urgent”, “please prioritize”)Do multiple 30–90 sec brain dumps per dayRecord conferences & journal clubsBuild workflows, not transcriptsIntegrate CRM for contextCreate templatesParallelize tasksCollaborate with MPAs5. Why the Market Is ExplodingAI medical coding market: $2.4B → $8.4B by 2033 Fastest tech adoption in healthcare history Doctors are not desperate for AI — They’re desperate to get their lives back.6. Your Next MoveTomorrow morning, after your next patient:Hands off the keyboard. Record in natural language. Drop it into a HIPAA/GDPR-compliant AI tool. Save 20–30 minutes that day — and hours by month’s end.This is not disruption. This is not innovation theater. This is giving healthcare professionals their time back so they can give patients their attention back.And Malcolm leaves you with one final challenge: Next time you visit your doctor, ask them: “How are you using AI already?” If the answer is no… Find a new doctor.🔥 KEY TOPICSThe hidden burnout crisis for doctors & MPAsWhy administrative load destroys healthcare capacityThe two-step misunderstanding of Voice AIStep 1: Voice RecordingStep 2: AI Workflow ProcessingWhy 97% of healthcare workers are stuck in Step 1Case studies from Cleveland Clinic and DACH regionThe 10 Commandments of Voice AIHow to start tomorrow with real, measurable gains💬 NOTABLE QUOTES“This isn’t occasional — this is every. single. day.”“Only one out of thirty healthcare professionals used AI for documentation.”“Welcome to the medical Neanderthal world.”“You’re not talking to a human. You’re talking to an AI.”“Stop hiding behind the data protection dinosaur.”“If your doctor doesn’t use AI — find a new one.”🔗 WHERE TO FIND MALCOLMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmwerchota/ Website: https://www.werchota.ai YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@werchota X: https://x.com/malcolmwerchota Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/malcolmwerchotaai TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/malcolmwerchota✉️ CONTACTDirect: [email protected] Podcast Team: [email protected]🎓 AI FIT ACADEMYBecome AI-productive in 2 weeks.

We never planned to record 100 episodes.This podcast started in mid-2025 as a side project — something to externalize what normally stayed locked inside consulting decks, workshops, and boardroom conversations. Fast-forward a few months, and here we are at Episode 100.So instead of doing a highlight reel or a victory lap, Malcolm did something else:He downloaded the transcripts of the previous 99 episodes Fed them into Claude Code And asked a simple question:“What did we actually say?”What came back was surprising.AI flagged provocative quotes. Patterns of criticism. Recurring themes around Europe, geopolitics, layoffs, chip wars, and power. Predictions that, uncomfortably, are already coming true.This episode is a reflection — not just on the podcast, but on how AI, business, and global power structures have shifted in a matter of months.🔹 What This Episode Covers• The “AI Grenades” Why provocative statements matter — and why Malcolm doesn’t apologize for them.• Europe: A Love Letter Through Criticism Why Europe’s biggest problem isn’t talent, but urgency. Why Singapore, China, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia are executing while Europe debates.• From Consulting Artifact to Public Asset How the podcast became a way to scale insight beyond slide decks.• Finding the Voice From early prompting tutorials, to technical deep dives, to calling out AI failures, to geopolitics and history.• AI Drama Why long-form, narrative-driven AI episodes resonate more than daily news — and why this format is here to stay.• Using AI to Build the Podcast Itself How AI agents now write, fact-check, restructure, and improve episodes. Why 70% of production is now AI-assisted — and why that matters.• Predictions vs Reality Why some early predictions now look disturbingly accurate. Why being wrong publicly is part of thinking seriously about AI.• What Comes Next (2026) More AI Drama. More practical tool breakdowns. More selective guests. Less noise. More signal.🧠 A Different Kind of EpisodeThis is not an AI news episode. This is not a tutorial. This is not hype.It’s a checkpoint.A look at how fast things moved in just 100 episodes — and a reminder that what feels “fast” now will look slow in hindsight.If you’ve been listening since Episode 1: thank you. If this is your first episode: welcome.🔑 KEY THEMESAI as geopolitics, not just technologyEurope vs Singapore / China / UAE on AI executionChip wars as the new Cold WarWhy regulation without execution failsHow AI Drama storytelling outperforms pure newsUsing AI to improve your own product (“eat your own cookies”)Why opinions matter more than perfect predictionsEducation at scale vs consulting at scale💬 NOTABLE QUOTES“CEOs love the future where three €10 automations replace Frank after 25 years.”“Europe is a love letter written through criticism.”“If Singapore pays people to reskill, why are we still debating?”“We didn’t want knowledge locked in consulting reports.”“AI Drama pulls — because stories stick.”“Use AI to improve yourself before selling it to others.”“Looking back, some predictions came true faster than expected.”🔗 WHERE TO FIND MALCOLMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmwerchota/ Website: https://www.werchota.ai YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@werchota X: https://x.com/malcolmwerchota Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/malcolmwerchotaai TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/malcolmwerchota✉️ CONTACTDirect: [email protected] Podcast Team: [email protected]🎓 AI FIT ACADEMYLearn to use AI, not just talk about it.

What if AI could save you 4 hours of work per task? Not vague “efficiency gains,” but concrete dollar amounts you can plug into a spreadsheet.Anthropic just published a groundbreaking productivity report based on 100,000 real-world Claude tasks. Unlike traditional studies that say “40% faster,” this report quantifies AI’s impact in real monetary terms:Management tasks → $133 saved per taskLegal work → $119 savedSoftware development → $82 savedAnd the most shocking result? Teachers save 96% of their time on curriculum development.In Part 1 of this series, Malcolm breaks down five transformative insights from the report:The Dollar-Value Revolution Why attaching real pricing to productivity changes everything for ROI and planning.Teachers Save 96% of Their Time How 4.5 hours of lesson planning becomes 11 minutes—and why this matters for human wellbeing.Developers Drive 19% of All Productivity Gains A single occupation captures nearly a fifth of economy-wide benefits.The Bottleneck Problem When AI speeds up some tasks, the tasks it doesn't accelerate become your true constraint.1.8% Productivity Growth—Doubling Today’s Rate How AI could return us to the boom decades of the 1960s–70s and late 1990s.This isn’t hype. It’s hard data from real work across industries.Whether you're a manager, developer, teacher, executive, or anyone doing high-value knowledge work, this episode gives you the frameworks, numbers, and mental models to understand AI’s real impact on productivity.Recorded in Vienna, in Malcolm Werchota’s signature no-BS, practical style.EPISODE SUMMARY (EN)Anthropic’s new productivity report changes the conversation around AI completely.
