I got home late yesterday, so I’m posting this now. Yesterday I ran a Google Workspace automation training at 'Shingu Construction' in Seongnam. What stood out was that the person who requested it was not a hands-on staff member but the 'owner'. The moment the CEO personally said, "I want to automate how our company works," it became more than a practical skills session. It became the starting point of an AI transformation (AX).
Work in construction is more repetitive than people think: schedule control, quote preparation, labor and material in/out logs, daily site reports… Every day, every week, the same forms with different numbers. It is the area where automation pays off most. Once scattered files and systems are reorganized on Google Workspace, with Claude as the owner’s personal AI assistant and Google Sheets·Docs·Gmail·Drive connected as the data infrastructure, you simply give instructions the way you normally speak, and the AI works directly on your real documents.
It reminds me of Chinese electric vehicles. Combustion cars showed a big gap between China and Germany, Japan, or Korea, but with the shift to EVs, China leapfrogged. Shingu Construction may be somewhat behind other clients on DX, but I believe AX can let them leap ahead just like Chinese EVs. ^^
