What if?

Here's the basic premise:
I asked AI to associate each character in Glengarry Glen Ross with a potential AI tool based on each of their personalities and this was the result:
Shelly "The Machine" Levene (played by Jack Lemmon):
AI Tool: Lead Scoring Tool: Like Shelly, this tool analyzes data to identify high-potential leads. It uses past performance and demographics to predict buyer behavior, providing valuable insights for closing deals.
Ricky Roma (Al Pacino):
AI Tool: Social Listening Tool: Similar to Ricky's charm and ability to read people, this tool monitors social media conversations and identifies potential customers based on their interests and needs. It allows Ricky to personalize his approach and build rapport quickly.
James Lingk (Jonathan Price):
AI Tool: Cold Calling Automation Tool: Lingk relies on volume and persistence, much like AI-powered cold calling tools that automatically dial numbers and deliver pre-recorded scripts. However, unlike Lingk, these tools can personalize messaging based on lead data for better results.
Dave Moss (Ed Harris):
AI Tool: Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System: As an experienced but struggling salesman, Dave could benefit from a CRM to organize leads, track interactions, and analyze past successes. This would help him strategize and close deals more efficiently.
George Aaronow (Alan Arkin):
AI Tool: Competitive Intelligence Tool: Like George, who uses unethical tactics to steal leads, this tool gathers information about competitors' strategies and pricing. However, ethical use involves learning from competitors, not stealing their tactics.
John Williamson (Kevin Spacey):
AI Tool: Motivational AI Assistant: Williamson's despair could be countered by an AI assistant that provides pep talks, tracks progress, and sets achievable goals. This could help him regain confidence and motivation.
Blake (Alec Baldwin):
AI Tool: Sales Performance Management Tool: This tool analyzes team performance, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and provides insights for coaching and improvement. While Blake uses harsh methods, this tool offers data-driven feedback for more effective training.
Shelly Levene [second half] (Jack Lemmon):
AI Tool: Lead Nurturing Tool: After his transformation, Shelly focuses on building relationships with potential customers. This tool automates personalized email sequences and sends relevant content to keep leads engaged until they're ready to buy.
