Relax, We’ve Got You Covered
flyenda.comArtificial intelligence is clearly a game-changer. For those who experienced it, it brings to mind the leap from VHS to DVD — we embraced a new technology, but the old one still had so much room for improvement. That’s the feeling that drove us to create Flyenda, and it forms the core of our thinking. Intelligence no longer solely belongs to humans, and despite privileges and the protection of one’s turf, honesty compels us to admit that many flesh-and-blood experts have been shaken by the rise of conversational agents. Of course, no technology will ever replace a network built through hard work or a diploma, but it does challenge a certain established order. Advice, and many tasks once exclusive to humans, can now fall within the scope of AI. So we chose to delegate a large part to it — but to keep the most important: reflection. AI still has so much to offer in our daily lives, especially in helping us navigate this deep movement that it's accelerating: decentralization. Let’s begin with the one that concerns decision-making.
Why Decentralization Is Essential
A manager’s role, regardless of their position in the hierarchy, isn’t to make decisions — it’s to make the right ones. And among the flood of decisions to be made, many may seem relatively minor… yet have disastrous consequences on daily operations. Take scheduling, for instance. It might look trivial to decide who should come in and who shouldn’t to ensure service continuity — whether it’s shift work, teamwork, vacations or time off. The fact is, we can’t allow everyone to be off at the same time. Yet in practice, people want to follow their colleagues. If one person stays home, others want to as well. And suddenly, the manager who enforces presence becomes the worst kind of tyrant. Fine then — let’s all lose motivation and slow down our work in silent protest. But before reaching that point, we suggest bringing a bit of fairness into your scheduling and easing workplace tensions. Flyenda is a tool — no AI involved — but built on solid business logic, letting you adjust schedules by assigning scores based on the days each person works. A concession granted one month earns you an advantage the next. A fair system is always easier to accept than an arbitrary decision. You’ll see — it’s magic!
Why Decentralization Concerns You
By decentralizing decision-making, we’re sparing the schizophrenic dilemma faced by the Mexican army of executives, managers, consultants, and supervisors who praise the wonders of automation — yet in the same breath, fear the threat of an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent AI. Not so much for their job security, but for their legitimacy. As Erving Goffman reminded us, the most important thing in the social theatre is saving face. We all have a role to play, and the last thing anyone wants is to see a mindless chatbot cannibalize it. So we assume that automation will bring sociological consequences — and paradoxically, it will increase the workload for decision-makers at every level. All in the name of face, buried under layers of Excel spreadsheets, studies of every kind, and regulations designed to justify the overload. Flyenda was born from that very anticipation. It’s inevitable: managers’ routines will change, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be freed from their former responsibilities. So for the ones that can be delegated, a little shift in power can help. And if the machine can’t think for itself, then honor remains intact. The logic behind Flyenda automates your scheduling — without using AI. This is our value proposition: we help stabilize the system by saving the Mexican army in three-piece suits… even if, let’s be honest, it’s way cooler for your LinkedIn pic to rock jeans and a tee.
