Practical insights from the trenches of building and scaling technology businesses.
Most of the investment industry is using AI to build faster horses, not to reinvent the customer relationship. A talk at the TISA AI Conference on why the next two years will separate the reinventors from the rest.
AI coding agents can build in hours what used to take days. But what used to take hours to debug can now take days. The relationship between human and AI is more Batman and Robin than most people think.
What happens when you try to build a production-quality, privacy-first financial assistant using open-weight LLMs and AI-powered development tools? Six months of lessons from a recent client prototype.
In an increasingly fractured geopolitical landscape, whose AI is the United Kingdom actually running on? And what happens when access to it is no longer guaranteed?
Investment firms fear AI will replace human financial advisors. The real question is whether AI might actually grow the market for human advice, not shrink it.
