The AI Vader Clause

In partnership with

Hi Leaders!

Today’s briefing is packed with real-world wins, a surprising labor lawsuit involving a certain Sith Lord, and one very gutsy ROI gut-check. From Ramp’s blueprint for hypergrowth to the growing tension between creative labor and generative AI, we’re looking at what happens after you plug AI into the machine—and whether that machine actually moves faster, smoother, and smarter.

Let’s jump in.

How Ramp Unlocked 3x Efficiency — and the Playbook That Made It Possible

What happens when a fintech unicorn pairs hypergrowth with hyper-alignment? Ramp scaled fast without breaking ops—and a lot of it comes down to what they implemented before turning up the volume.

In this Momentum case study, you’ll see exactly how they:

• Outperformed SDR benchmarks by 3x.

• Shortened onboarding time while growing team capacity.

• Used intelligent automations to reduce friction—not just speed things up.

Read the full Momentum breakdown to see how your org can steal this playbook.
→ Ramp’s full story

Enterprise takeaway:
Scaling well isn’t just about speed—it’s about systems that scale with you. Momentum's deep dive shows how to do both.

What to Watch

Fortnite, Darth Vader, and the AI Labor Lawsuit Heard ’Round the Metaverse

Fortnite-maker Epic Games is in hot water after being charged with an unfair labor practice—allegedly using AI to recreate Darth Vader's voice instead of negotiating with the real voice actor.

Why this matters:

• It’s not just a copyright or creative dispute—it’s labor law colliding with AI.

• SAG-AFTRA is challenging whether AI-generated performances can legally replace human ones without bargaining.

• It sets a precedent for other industries (gaming, film, marketing) where voice, likeness, and digital labor are increasingly AI-generated.

For enterprises that rely on creative or brand-forward content: Get ahead of this. Build ethical frameworks now, or your AI shortcuts could become very expensive detours.
