If the last time you tested AI it wrote you a caption about unlocking your confidence, you're judging it by a version that no longer exists. Between January and October 2026, the work AI can take on in a spa moved from single tasks to whole outcomes.
Episode 1 of Growth Factor® with Daniela Woerner walks through what changed this year, from agents and connected business data to visual tools and voice, and what each one looks like inside a spa with a team, a front desk and a monthly leadership meeting. I also share the agent that posts a report into my Slack every Monday at 6 a.m., and the questions every medical spa needs answered before anyone pastes a client note into an AI tool.
If you have ever opened ChatGPT, read what it gave you and thought "absolutely not," this episode is for you.

The metric to start tracking: hours of repeatable work delegated each week
How an agent can have yesterday's revenue, provider pacing and scheduling gaps waiting before you walk in
