Web Summit Vancouver 2025 was a blast for the SimplyAsk team and all the 15,000 attendees who came to exchange ideas, showcase innovative solutions, and reimagine how businesses operate with cutting-edge technology. This year, there was one topic that clearly dominated every conversation, presentation, and booth demonstration: AI.
At SimplyAsk.ai, we engaged with students, entrepreneurs, and businesses during the three-day event, discussing how AI can propel their operations. Through these conversations, three key takeaways emerged. This blog will explore those insights and share how Symphona, our no-code AI business efficiency platform, offers smart solutions to meet those needs.
AI Needs to Be Easy to Use While many attendees we spoke to were not new to AI tools, using tools like UIPath or Microsoft PowerAutomate, many expressed frustrations with these low-code solutions. We had various conversations where users vented about how difficult it was to use these tools to create AI solutions or integrate them with tools in their tech stack, especially if they lacked technical expertise.
Many entrepreneurs and professionals articulated how their non-technical teams face steep learning curves, which creates a bottleneck in their operations when trying to implement AI-driven processes. This highlighted a clear demand for AI platforms that are both powerful and accessible without requiring technical skills.
Having these conversations validated our research that businesses are indeed interested in easy-to-use, true no-code tools. Our team was happy to showcase Symphona's no-code interface and set users up with our prebuilt templates, allowing non-technical users to start building automations with zero headaches.
AI Means Nothing Without Data Privacy Data privacy and security dominated many discussions we had at the conference, particularly with attendees from the security and compliance sectors. While integrating large language models (LLMs) and other AI tools can revolutionize business processes, these tools can inadvertently expose sensitive company data to external vulnerabilities.
Without robust data security measures, enterprises risk not only data leaks but also scenarios where confidential information might unwittingly train public AI models. This presents a major roadblock for businesses striving to adopt AI while protecting sensitive data. Many organizations are already dealing with this as their own employees use tools like ChatGPT to assist with their work.
With such concerns about data privacy, it's reinforced our decision at Symphona to prioritize it alongside our AI tools. With our implementation of secure middle layers, Symphona ensures all user data is shielded from external systems and from SimplyAsk. By focusing on robust encryption protocols and strict compliance measures, we allow organizations to harness AI capabilities without compromising their sensitive data.
Businesses Are Looking for AI Solutions That Offer Quick Results While there’s no doubt that many organizations are investing in long-term AI solutions, a significant portion of attendees emphasized the need for quick, actionable results . For these businesses, deploying solutions that address immediate operational challenges is key to proving AI's value to stakeholders.
Popular use cases discussed included:
Automating customer service processes with AI chat agents Streamlining routine accounting tasks such as accounts payable Centralizing and managing organizational knowledge bases Improving service management and ticketing workflows Attendees stressed their interest in either easy-to-use AI platforms they could deploy themselves or working with professional AI providers who could deliver tailored, pre-built solutions quickly.
The takeaway is simple: for any business offering AI solutions, providing additional AI services is a great way to assist these businesses and increase revenue. SimplyAsk was pleased to share our consulting partnership
