Cypher Networks operates in the IT services space, where technology familiarity is the baseline. As Proprietor, Vitrag Mehta brings nearly two decades of experience in the industry, with deep exposure to systems, tools, and evolving tech trends.
In such environments, AI adoption often begins early—but not always deeply. For an IT veteran, the challenge is often moving past "functional" use to "strategic" leverage.
Before the workshop, Vitrag was already using AI tools in his day-to-day work. However, he recognised a pattern: AI was being used as a convenience, not a capability.
The session challenged the pattern of shallow usage. It wasn't about more tools; it was about a different tier of engagement.
"AI stopped being a helper and started revealing itself as a force multiplier. The real value lies in depth, not frequency of use."
Using AI frequently doesn’t mean you’re using it effectively. Depth creates leverage.
This case speaks to experienced professionals who believe they are already “doing AI.”
It shows that even after years in technology, the real unlock often comes from using familiar tools differently.
That’s where true leverage begins.
Even for IT veterans, the deepest AI capabilities are waiting to be unlocked.
