A 3-hour analyst report now takes 15 seconds. 13 minutes saved per delivery using cameras the warehouse already had on the wall. $1.2 million in measurable savings across three businesses in 12 months. These aren’t projections. These are results from logistics companies that are actually running AI in production right now.
I did 8 interviews for the CargoRex AI Use Cases in Logistics guide. I went in expecting humanoid robot stories. What I found instead: people doing the same jobs with a different set of hands, and a burnout question nobody’s asking.
In this episode:
▪ Why the “humanoid revolution” is really about analysts, brokers, and warehouse operators, not robots
▪ Autonomous trucks filling night routes drivers don’t want (Bot Auto)
▪ Document processing and camera-based delivery verification saving 15 hours/day (EPG Americas / Aura)
▪ The trust problem: hallucinations, drift, and why audit logs matter more than demos (Sifted, Qued)
▪ Human-in-the-loop should have a defined end date, not be a permanent state (Envoy AI)
▪ Build vs. buy: why vibe coding your own CRM is almost always the wrong move
▪ The burnout cliff: what happens when AI removes all the boring tasks
▪ $1.2M saved and 290 basis points of margin improvement at Jobs Done Labs
