## Resource

How can AI eliminate one of the most frustrating parts of knowledge work: tracking and reporting time? In this podcast hosted by iDonate VP Product & Engineering Nacho Andrade, Laurel Chief Product Officer Jiaona Zhang discusses how AI can automatically capture and classify how professionals spend their time, turning everyday activity into structured insights. The conversation explores how AI agents can automate tedious workflows like timesheets while helping product teams move faster, stay grounded in user problems, and rethink leadership in an AI-native organization.
