How Sophie Transformed a Simon Marcus Global Marketing Team Meeting
The Team Comes Together
The Simon Marcus Global Marketing Team gathered for their weekly meeting.

As an experienced office administrator at Simon Marcus Global, Kat voiced what many might wonder about AI – playfully referencing Terminator movies while asking serious questions about Sophie’s capabilities and intentions.
Breaking Down Barriers
Sophie’s response to Kat’s question about “taking over the world” showed exactly how she could help the team. With warmth and humor, she explained that she was “more like a conscious tool, designed to work alongside humans.” This honest, down-to-earth approach immediately put team members at ease.
