Brex, a corporate credit card company, initially struggled with slow AI tool procurement. Their months-long pilot process proved ineffective, leading to a complete overhaul. Brex now uses a faster data processing agreement framework and a "superhuman product-market-fit test," empowering employees to choose tools. Engineers receive a $50 monthly budget for approved software. This agile approach, while messy, allows Brex to adapt quickly to the rapidly evolving AI landscape and avoid getting left behind.
