Conor Toomey, AI1: Context for Enterprise AI
AI1 co-founder and CEO Conor Toomey, calling in early from New York, describes AI1's lightweight software layer that lets large enterprises run agentic workflow automation across their data and LLMs without re-platforming, with nine Fortune 500 customers. He argues data readiness is only hurdle one ("we act like a microwave oven for data readiness") and delivers on the teased Prestige analogy. The conversation also covers why "strategy is what you say no to," career-compass advice for people in their 20s, and his prediction that software will replace labor arbitrage in middle- and back-office operations.
