Connor Twomey (AI1): Enterprise Context Management

AI1 co-founder and CEO Connor Twomey describes a lightweight context layer that lets large enterprises run LLMs and agents over messy, fragmented data without re-platforming, now with nine Fortune 500 customers. He argues data is only the first hurdle — memory, evals and graders come next — and pitches AI1 as a 'microwave oven for data readiness' that gets companies to a finish line in 10 weeks rather than 10 months, plus explains the shift from offshoring labor to software-based operations. He also shares his Prestige framing of AI, why 'strategy is what you say no to,' and his 'career compass' mentorship advice.
