Episode Title: One word for the current understanding of LLM discovery within enterprises?
Date: October 3, 2025
Host: Jordan Cooney
Guest: Guy from Webflow

Episode Overview

This concise lightning-round episode explores the state of large language model (LLM) discovery and adoption within enterprise organizations. The discussion centers on how companies are navigating the evolving landscape, the universal learning curve, and strategies to meaningfully resource AI initiatives. Both guests challenge the myth of falling behind, emphasizing experimentation, integration, and strategic commitment as keys to success in LLM adoption.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The One Word for Enterprise Understanding of LLM Discovery

00:43
- Host prompts: “What is one word that sums up the current understanding of LLM discovery within [enterprises]?”
- Guy from Webflow’s answer: “Early.”
  - Emphasizes that it’s still the early days for enterprise LLM exploration.
  - Encourages experimentation and learning for everyone—"Anyone who tells you they have it completely figured out is lying. No one does. Not even the LLMs themselves." [00:54]
  - Most enterprises, even top sites, are just starting—refers to earlier data on lack of schema implementation across websites:
    
    “About 88% of top sites not having schema on them. You're not behind. Everyone is learning. Or if you are behind, you're not that far behind.” [01:14]

2. The Shared Learning Curve

Throughout the exchange, both speakers agree that there is no universal playbook or perfect plan for LLM discovery.
Enterprises, both big and small, are “all figuring it out,” and no one holds a secret shortcut.
Host affirms:

“There is a core reality that we have to come to, especially us knowledge workers in the tech space… we’re not behind. We’re all figuring it out—big and small.” [01:29]
The myth of being left behind is dispelled; the key is continual engagement and willingness to experiment.

3. Strategic Investments in LLM Initiatives

Guy from Webflow:

“If it’s strategically important to your business, have that huge appetite. This is a major strategic initiative, not a little side project.” [01:51]
- Stresses that while radical new resourcing isn’t always essential, LLMs must be “a real thing on people’s radars.”
Host extends:

“Putting the right teams, putting the right talent behind solving these problems is absolutely critical… That’s where a lot of [enterprises] get it wrong… Not that there’s anything wrong with consulting firms, but that’s not the only solution. You have to really integrate your use of AI across the organization.” [02:13]
- Points out potential pitfalls: under-resourcing, siloed pilots, or over-reliance on external consultants.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Guy from Webflow, on the universal learning curve:

“Anyone who tells you they have it completely figured out is lying. No one does. Not even the LLMs themselves.” [00:54]
On the current state of LLMs in enterprise:

“You’re not behind. Everyone is learning. Or if you are behind, you’re not that far behind.” [01:14]
Podcast Host, reinforcing universality:

"We’re not behind. We're all figuring it out—big and small." [01:29]
Guy from Webflow, on prioritization:

“This is a major strategic initiative, not a little side project.” [01:51]
Host, on scaling AI across organizations:

Episode Takeaways

LLM discovery and adoption is still “early” for most enterprises.
No one—regardless of company size or resources—has all the answers yet.
The real risk is under-resourcing or sidelining LLM initiatives; they should be made a strategic focus, not a minor experiment.
Organizations must commit cross-functional talent and integrate AI meaningfully instead of relying solely on consultants.
There’s opportunity for all: "You're not behind. Everyone is learning."

All right, next lightning round question. What's the word? What is one word that sums up the current understanding of LLM discovery within.
[00:54]
Guy from Webflow
Enterprises early okay, I invite everyone to experiment, to learn. Anyone who tells you that you said it earlier, something like this. Anyone who tells you they have it completely figured out is lying. No one does. Not even the LLMs themselves. And so there is. Should it be strategically important for your business, there's absolutely advantage to be gained by leaning in to our discussion earlier. About 88% of sites top sites not having schema on them. You're not behind. Everyone is learning. Or if you are behind, you're not that far behind.
[01:27]
Podcast Host
Correct.
[01:27]
Guy from Webflow
And there's real opportunity here.
[01:29]
Podcast Host
Yeah, I think it's really well said that is a core reality that we all have to come to, especially us knowledge workers in the tech space is like we're not behind. We're all figuring it out like big and small. And I think enterprises right now there's a huge appetite to just have it right. But there is no perfect plan yet for LLM discovery.
[01:52]
Guy from Webflow
To your point, I think the one mistake potentially to avoid is if it's strategically important to your business, have that huge appetite. This is a major strategic initiative, not a little side project. And I don't know that it requires radically different resourcing, but it should be a real thing on people's radars. Would you agree with that?
[02:14]
Podcast Host
100% agree with that. Putting the right teams, putting the right talent behind solving these problems is absolutely critical for any enterprise. And I think that's where a lot of them get it wrong is you just put two people or you hire a big consulting firm. Not that there's anything wrong with consulting firms, but that's not the only solution. You have to really integrate your use of AI across the organization.
