Gil believes that generative AI can significantly improve margins by automating repetitive tasks, allowing for better cash flow and competitive acquisitions. He has already backed companies like Enam Co., which focuses on worker productivity, and others in the legal and healthcare sectors, such as Harvey and Abridge.
