Oleg Akulov: “If you can’t explain the task to an intern, AI won’t help.”

CEO of Nomium Oleg Akulov spoke at the BNB business club in Prague with a talk on the practical use of AI in business. Concrete cases with clear context, measurable savings, and an honest account of the technology’s limitations.

Key takeaways from the talk

Oleg outlined three areas where AI pays off quickly:

• Routine — automating everyday tasks (data entry, reports, correspondence). Savings: 10-15 hours per week per employee.
• Scale — handling volumes you don’t have the people for (leads, calls, content). Equivalent to 1-2 additional employees.
• Speed — instant answers 24/7 (support, data analysis, urgent calculations). Result: clients don’t leave for competitors.

How it works in practice

AI in sales: qualifying leads in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours, automated personalized proposals, a 2-week early warning before a client churns. Conversion +40%.
AI in HR: processing 100 resumes in 10 minutes instead of 5 hours. HR specialists focus on interviews, not on sorting.

When AI doesn’t work

Oleg pointed out the situations where implementation is money down the drain:

• There’s no established process
• The task is performed once a month
• There’s no historical data
• You need creative strategy, not execution

A simple rule: if you can’t explain a task to an intern in 5 minutes — AI won’t help.

The 2-week implementation formula

A concrete action plan was proposed: find a task that eats up 2+ hours a day → test it with free tools (ChatGPT, Notion AI) → measure the time saved → roll it out to 30% of processes → assess the result after 2 weeks.
Minimum budget to start: $1000 for experiments.

Nomium’s expertise

The talk showed that Nomium implements technology with a focus on concrete business tasks and measurable results. The audience asked about specific tools (Make.com, n8n), CRM integrations, and the cost of custom solutions — the conversation was extremely practical.
