Welcome to the latest issue of the AI Community Learning Series, where we uncover how AI is reshaping business strategy and execution. In this session, Amit Rawal (Chief Product & AI Officer, Ex-Apple) and Thiago Oliveira (Head of Growth at CAFU) explored how AI agents can revolutionize growth strategy, planning, and execution. If you missed it, here are the highlights of our conversation and event recording.

The Big Shift: AI Beyond Automation

Most businesses today use AI for execution—automating workflows, optimizing campaigns, and speeding up repetitive tasks. However, Amit and Thiago argue that the real superpower of AI lies in decision-making. AI agents can analyze vast amounts of historical data, identify patterns invisible to humans, and provide high-quality, data-driven recommendations in minutes rather than months.

Imagine having instant access to every customer interview, market report, and past campaign performance at the exact moment you need to make a decision. That’s the potential of AI-driven strategic planning.

The SPARK Framework: A Growth Blueprint

To drive sustainable growth, Amit and Thiago introduced SPARK, a five-step framework:

1. Strategy: Define your core growth levers based on data, not intuition.

2. Prioritization: Rank opportunities to focus on the highest-impact experiments.

3. Action: Develop structured growth experiments.

4. Rapid Iteration: Fail fast, learn quickly, and refine your approach.

5. Knowledge Retention: Ensure learnings are institutionalized and not lost over time.

By integrating AI agents into each of these steps, businesses can execute at 3-5x the speed and 2-3x the quality compared to traditional methods.

Meet Your AI Growth Team

The speakers introduced three AI agents—Atlas, Nova, and Sage—designed to replicate high-performing growth teams.

• Atlas (The Explorer): Scans the market, historical data, and internal reports to identify top growth opportunities.

• Nova (The Architect): Designs and prioritizes growth experiments, ranking them based on impact and feasibility.

• Sage (The Analyst): Evaluates past results, extracts key insights, and helps refine future strategies.

Thiago showcased a real-world example from CAFU, a fuel delivery service in Dubai. Using AI agents, they condensed months of research into minutes, surfacing insights that took a year to uncover manually. By feeding two years' worth of CRM data, Power BI reports, and internal presentations into AI-powered tools, CAFU’s team was able to identify high-impact growth opportunities almost instantly. Atlas, the exploratory AI agent, scanned and synthesized trends in user acquisition, retention, and expansion. Nova, the architect AI, then prioritized these opportunities and generated 20 potential growth experiments, complete with hypotheses and structured plans. In just one session, the AI agents recommended strategies—such as gamified loyalty programs and targeted referral campaigns—that had previously taken months to conceptualize. This demonstration underscored how AI can drastically accelerate decision-making and refine growth strategies with data-driven precision.

AI Needs Human Oversight

While AI can identify trends, patterns, and opportunities with remarkable speed, human judgment is still critical. Growth professionals must ensure AI-driven insights align with real-world business objectives. AI may suggest the most statistically optimal path, but human intuition and experience are needed to navigate nuances such as brand positioning, customer sentiment, and unexpected market shifts.

AI Should Solve Real Growth Challenges, Not Be a Novelty

AI adoption should be purpose-driven. The most successful implementations focus on solving concrete business problems—whether it’s optimizing marketing spend, improving user retention, or identifying the highest-impact experiments. Companies that integrate AI thoughtfully, rather than chasing AI for its own sake, see tangible improvements in efficiency, growth, and decision-making.
