Just spent a week in SF with my co-founders in the new @slamco_ space. I’m feeling a confidence and focus I haven’t felt in a year. Building a business with passionate, generous and incredibly talented people has that effect! We are so back 📈

I asked 31 people: "whats the worst part about buying a house?" I got 31 different answers. But every single one came back to the same thing: slow & stressful. So we built Ladder, an AI sales negotiator that helps estate agencies give buyers the experience they actually want. Got a question about a property at 11pm? Need a mortgage sorted? Not sure what your options are? Ladder answers, 24/7. We're running a limited beta with a handful of agencies. Apply for access here: form.typeform.com/to/ZVOCC2g…

RPA but with LLM reasoning is crazy. So many businesses could automate processes that are stuck behind legacy systems and old workflows that don't have APIs. Huge unlock for services businesses implementing AI

Netflix's CPTO says "The days of very narrow deep specialisation feel limited to me." AI is handling pattern-based, automatable work, meaning what's left needs judgment or experience. It's seeing the whole system and making decisions when things are ambiguous. Generalists who can understand how systems fit together at the macro scale are becoming the most valuable. I'm building my new company (theaip . co) based on this thesis, where we deeply learn business workflows and the logic behind them, then deploy agents for pattern based work and re-train staff on judgment. The agent handles the repeatable and the human handles the stuff that needs someone who sees the full picture. We think the world is moving to a hybrid workforce.

What a week for UK Tech: > @KanishkaNarayan named Minister for AI > @cusp_ai raised $450m at a $2.6bn valuation > Applied Intelligence Partners launched agentic AI systems into UK enterprise > NVIDIA invested $200m into Revolut > Tom Blomfield joined Anthropic > Moneybox became a unicorn 🔥

We wanted to build an agent for an estate agency but their CRM doesn't have an API 🫩 They want AI to handle inbound buyer enquiries, gather property details, answer questions, route serious leads. Straightforward enough. Except the system where all their data lives has no developer tools. No way to connect an agent to it. This time of integration is always the real blocker for AI in a lot of businesses. Your agent can be brilliant, but if it can't read the CRM, it's an island. We're figuring out the workaround right now, it probably means building a bridge layer that sits between the agent and the CRM, reading what it can and working around what it can't. We’re seeing the side of AI implementation that people don’t post about lol - the companies that want to roll things out fast but have literally zero infrastructure.

Your job used to be: solve the problem. Now it's: design the system that solves the problem. The world is building a hybrid agent-human workforce and the best managers aren't the ones who are best at doing the work. They're the ones who can describe how they do it well enough that an agent can take it over. (No different to training a junior). If you can't explain your own process, you can't hand it to an agent. And if you can't hand it to an agent, you're still the bottleneck. When was the last time you wrote down how you do your job, step by step? I’m building Applied intelligence partners - it helps businesses with this transition to the hybrid workforce - mapping workflows, training staff & deploying agents that do actually valuable work!

I won the Antler Hackathon with my co founder where we had the idea to create a marketplace for AI agents! We went with the notion that businesses don’t want to spend time implementing AI, they want systems that can plug in to their workflows and start delivering value from day 1. As we dug into this problem further, we realised that access to AI tools isn’t the root of the problem. Anthropic made $47 billion selling enterprise AI tools, yet 80% of companies procuring these tools are seeing no measurable productivity gain. Meaning right now, what we’re seeing in the market is 80% of companies are failing at AI implementation. So… introducing: Applied Intelligence Partners We’re building an implementation company that works with businesses to map their workflows, deploy agents and retrain their staff! Check out theaip . co to see what we're up to!

I made a script for people who need to lock in It tracks head & eye movements to detect if you’re distracted or doom scrolling. As soon as you look down the skeleton starts banging his shield Follow & comment no-distractions if you want to try it 💀

Also celebrating this day :)

Every time I come on here there's another person announcing that they've broken ___ MRR or some opinion on how to run a company the right way staying laser focused and filtering noise is one of the most important things when building especially in this AI goldmine where there's so much value to be created I've learnt this the hard way and still make mistakes 💀

Crazy. Downloading sora rn 🏃‍♂️

For my app’s UGC program, we’ve been working on a ‘second pair of eyes’ Essentially an AI that can watch my creators videos and give feedback It’s been super helpful to evaluate creators based on things that basic metrics couldn’t get. Like ‘how often does creator x show feature y of my app in their videos’ Or like ‘what’s the ratio of experimental ideas vs tried and tested viral formats used by creator z’ Part of my effort to building a super efficient, well oiled machine

Every-time I’m with my home friends they remind me of this 💀 I love the tech scene but it can feel overly opinionated and noisy sometimes Important to take diverse perspectives on things

I’ve been grinding emails & DMs to influencers and this is exactly the experience I’ve had lol Definately a numbers game though, you will find really great creators who will help grow your business if you keep hustling outreach

One of my biggest learnings of the year is to avoid scaling (hiring) too fast. My app saw over 100k users in it's first 3 months and immediately I invested most of the capital we earned on marketing and 'growing' the business. But quickly found that I was spreading my time too thin and outsourcing things which I shouldn't have. Which lead to some slowdown. Good thing its getting cold now, it's lock in time I've made processes more lean and I'm working on building an insanely well oiled, efficient machine. Biggest focuses rn are improving churn and hitting more viral videos consistently.
