On this episode of Admin Access, the host are joined by Gabriel Mbugua to dive deep into one of the most disruptive shifts happening in the creative tech world right now , the rise of AI-powered design tools, and what it actually means for the people building and designing our digital future.The conversation kicks off with Dominic sharing his hands-on experience with Anthropic's newly released Claude Design, a tool positioning itself as a serious competitor to Figma, Canva, and Adobe. The premise is bold: feed it your codebase and design system, and get production-ready prototypes, slides, and UI flows without a designer in the loop.Evans pushes back and questions whether it can truly replace a senior designer with real taste, real context, and real creative intuition.They also touch on the AI video generation wave, where entrepreneurs are packaging AI-generated short-form shows into subscription apps and people are actually paying for them.It raises a provocative question: how high is the general public's bar for quality, really? And are we, as craftsmen, sometimes too close to the work to see what the market actually values?To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-muneneLearn more about our guest story here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2z0JQ2w-lw

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans are joined by Gabriel to break down some of the biggest moves happening in AI over the past few weeks The conversation kicks off with Anthropic's Claude Mythos, a model the company calls its most powerful yet and one it has pointedly refused to release to the public. Instead, it sits behind a restricted partner programs called Project Glasswing, accessible only to roughly 40 organizations, almost all hyper-scalers and enterprise giants from the US and Asia. The trio dig into what that really means. Is this genuine caution around a tool capable of autonomously finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities? Or is it a carefully engineered piece of rage-bait marketing designed to dominate the conversation without shipping a single line of code to the public? And beneath all of that , where does Africa fit in a framework that's already quietly drawing the lines of who gets protected and who gets left exposed? With MTN moving money across 16 markets and M-Pesa serving millions across East Africa, the stakes of being locked out of these conversations are anything but abstract.They also share how they actually use AI coding tools in their day-to-day work , Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and rate their real experiences without the marketing gloss. The consensus lands somewhere between a 4 and a 7 depending on the task, the context, and frankly, the mood of the model that day. Powerful as a tool. Frustrating as a colleague.The episode wraps with Claude Design steps , a tool Dominic has been using . From moving from a rough spec to a high-fidelity prototype in minutes and what that shift means for UI/UX designers who haven't yet recalibrated their expectations.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans pull back the curtain on a crisis that most of us felt before we fully understood it , the ripple effects of a war being fought 4,000 kilometers away, landing at the fuel pumps of Nairobi, Harare, Juba, and beyond.The boys break down why the Strait of Hormuz is arguably the single most important chokepoint on the planet, why 20% of the world's oil supply grinding to a halt is everyone's problem, and how a war in the Persian Gulf becomes a blackout in South Sudan's capital city by nightfall.Africa sits on 40% of the world's solar potential, significant natural gas reserves, and the most powerful river system on earth, yet is still scrambling for refined fuel it could be producing itself.Kenya's 16-day emergency stockpile.Mauritius missing a single shipment and feeling the heat. Zimbabwe is diluting its own petrol to keep engines running. Ethiopia manually rationing fuel to critical ministries. These aren't hypotheticals , they're happening now.They also connect a thread that doesn't get enough airtime: the fertilizer crisis hiding inside the energy crisis. With 34% of global urea exports passing through the same chokepoint, and Qatar's largest natural gas facility bombed, the food security implications are very real. When oil stops moving, food eventually stops growing.The takeaway? Africa isn't poor in energy , it's poor in strategy.The infrastructure was built for export, not sovereignty. And while private capital like the Dangote Refinery is doing what governments should have done decades ago, one refinery cannot insure a continent of 1.4 billion people.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into the growing chaos behind agentic AI workflows, and this time, it's not theory.Evans shares his hands-on journey with Openclaw, running on a dedicated Mac mini, and how it has fundamentally changed the way he works, thinks, and plans. From competitive intelligence and meeting prep to podcast research, this is a 24/7 digital employee running quietly in the background.But the wins come with warning signs. From an Amazon Kiro agent that took down an entire environment for 13 hours, to a Replit AI that deleted a whole production database despite explicit instructions not to, the incidents are stacking up fast.They break down why. An 85% per-step success rate compounds to just 20% across a 10-step workflow. Engineers are being mandated by leadership to adopt AI, with KPIs tied to token usage, while being expected to supervise work they can't fully review.And who owns the liability when agents go haywire? The engineer? The organization? The AI itself? Neither host has a clean answer, and they don't pretend to.Drawing parallels to Kenya's digital lending crisis and the cloud infra hype of 2012, Dominic and Evans make one thing clear. The gin is out of the bottle. The only question now is how you manage the blast radius.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Alice dive deep into the world of agentic AI and this time, it's not theory. Dominic shares his hands-on journey with OpenClaw, currently one of the most starred projects on GitHub, and how it has fundamentally changed the way he works, thinks, and plans.He breaks down what sets agentic AI apart from your everyday ChatGPT interaction.This is a 24/7 digital employee that runs in the background, books meetings, manages your CRM, sends emails, files reports, and even prepares your morning briefing before you've had your first cup of coffee.From setting up a virtual private server to eventually dedicating an entire home machine to his agent, Dominic walks through the real costs, the real wins, and the real lessons learned along the way.But what does it actually cost? Do you need to be a developer? And honestly, is this a little scary? Alice brings these questions to the table, because beneath the excitement is a very real conversation about what it means to normalise a relationship with a machine that runs key parts of your life. They both don't shy away from it , leaning into both the opportunity and the weight of what that shift could mean for how we work, connect, and even how we see ourselves in an AI-first world.To keep up with Dominic’s and Alice, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicekanjejo/

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Alice dive deep into one of the most controversial developments in Kenya's tax landscape , the arrival of KRA's Intelligence Analysis Tool (IAT), an AI-powered system designed to silently monitor taxpayer behaviour, and what it really means for the everyday Kenyan.Kenya's tax compliance story has historically been a frustrating one , with only 7 million Kenyans actively paying taxes out of 22 million registered taxpayers, and a staggering 600 billion shilling tax gap punching a hole in the country's revenue ambitions every single year. A combination of a complex filing system, poor consumer education, an 83% informal workforce, and an ITAX portal that even engineers struggle to navigate, has kept meaningful tax participation out of reach for the ordinary person for years.Then KRA announced IAT and panic spread across X almost overnight. The promise? Cross-referencing financial data, CRB records, and social media activity to build detailed taxpayer profiles and finally close the gap. On paper, it sounds like a long overdue reckoning.But the hosts pull back the curtain and ask the harder questions. Is this tool actually built for the majority of Kenyans, or does it simply tighten the grip on the already-compliant middle class while the informal sector remains untouched? Then there's the data privacy conversation. With KRA systems previously compromised, and government data collection exercises like Huduma Namba raising more questions than answers, the risk of a tax surveillance tool quietly becoming a political one is not dystopian it's historical precedent.To keep up with Dominic’s and Alice, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicekanjejo/

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into one of the most talked-about developments in Kenya's financial landscape , the arrival of Ziidi Trader, Safaricom's new stock trading feature embedded within M-Pesa, and what it really means for the everyday Kenyan investor.Kenya's retail investing scene has historically been a ghost town with only around 61,000 active traders in a country of 55 million people, and 97% of registered CDS accounts sitting completely dormant. A combination of bureaucratic red tape, high minimum investments, steep broker fees, and the painful memory of the 2006-2008 IPO boom that left many Kenyans burned, kept the ordinary person locked out of the market for decades.Then Ziidi Trader arrived and daily trades on the Nairobi Securities Exchange quadrupled almost overnight. The promise? 40 million M-Pesa users now have a direct gateway into the stock market. On paper, it sounds like a revolution.The hosts pull back the curtain and ask the harder questions. When you buy a share on Ziidi Trader, do you actually own it?Then there's the cost conversation. While Ziidi Trader charges less than traditional brokers, a 1.5% fee in each direction means a 3% round trip on every trade , in a market where even strong stocks average around 7% annual gains. Compare that to India's Zerodha or America's Robinhood, where zero-commission trading has genuinely shifted wealth participation, and Kenya still has a long road ahead.The bigger picture the boys are painting is this: Ziidi Trader may be less of a public utility and more of a masterclass in Safaricom building Africa's most powerful financial walled garden , controlling the payment rails, the app, and the brokerage in one closed loop.

The episode wraps up with the hosts asking three questions every Kenyan investor must sit with before opening that Zidi Trader app. First, are you investing or are you trading? Second, do you truly understand the real cost beyond the advertised fee? Third and finally, if the odds are stacked against day traders even in markets with better regulation and greater transparency, what makes you the exception?

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dissect brand trust, the dangers of ad-driven AI, and why strategic clarity separates winners from trend-chasers.The conversation kicks off with a civil lawsuit filed against WhatsApp claiming the platform isn't actually end-to-end encrypted despite using the Signal protocol. While WhatsApp's closed-source code makes independent verification difficult, the hosts quickly pivot to a more compelling question: does it even matter if the claims are true?The hosts break down how Meta has cultivated a brand of distrust,building shadow profiles, disregarding user privacy, and prioritizing data extraction over user preferences. The result is damning: even without conclusive evidence, accusations gain traction because people simply don't trust Meta's word. Unlike Apple, which has built its identity around privacy and can weather individual controversies, Meta is forced to spend enormous resources not on being safe, but on creating the perception of safety.The discussion shifts to OpenAI's plan to introduce ads into ChatGPT's free tier. This move could present a challenge, especially because when you Google something, you see multiple results and can spot which ones are ads. You still have choices. ChatGPT just gives you one answer. If advertisers start influencing that answer, trust disappears.The episode wraps with a masterclass in strategic clarity. Apple's decision to integrate Gemini into Siri isn't a failure,it's strategic maturity. They recognized they wouldn't win the fundamental LLM race, so they chose to dominate distribution instead.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans tackle carbon credits, vaporware business models, and the explosive rise of AI agents

The conversation kicks off with the shocking closure of Koko Networks, a 13-year-old Kenyan startup that served 1.5 million households with affordable alternative cooking fuel. 

The hosts break down how Koko's entire model hinged on selling carbon credits internationally rather than making money from their actual customers, creating a fatal single point of failure when government authorization fell through.

The hosts unpack the nuances of carbon credit markets, from mandatory government caps on pollution to voluntary corporate posturing, revealing how the system can incentivize perverse outcomes like threatening to cut down forests unless someone pays you not to.

The  discussion shifts to OpenClaw, an open-source AI assistant that exploded onto the scene with 150,000 GitHub stars in just 72 hours. This agentic AI is  capable of managing files, sending emails, controlling browsers, and even authorizing bank transactions. The hosts explore fascinating use cases, including teams building entire "digital employees" with their own personas, company credit cards, and Slack accounts that independently research candidates, schedule interviews, and handle pre-screening calls.

The episode wraps with the hosts acknowledging that we've reached an inflection point where usefulness must be weighed against unprecedented risk and pondering whether your AI assistant will drain your bank account one day.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic takes the reins to explore something that doesn't get nearly enough attention in tech circles: the revolutionary transformation happening in space exploration and why it matters for Africa and the developing world.The conversation kicks off with a confession, watching a SpaceX booster land for the first time literally made his mind reboot. Until that moment, rockets were fancy disposable lighters, sparked once and tossed into the ocean. SpaceX changed everything by solving space's most boring problem: the price tag. He traces the arc from Sputnik's terrifying beeps in 1957 to today's economic-driven competition for orbital real estate. After NASA planted the flag on the moon, the world took a 40-year nap because getting to orbit cost a staggering $10,000 per kilogram.Enter SpaceX and reusable rockets. By bringing that cost down to around $1,300 per kilogram, a 10x improvement, they didn't just make space cheaper; they turned it into a logistics problem instead of a national prestige project. He compares this breakthrough to shipping containers revolutionizing global trade, calling reusable rockets "the containers of space."But here's where it gets strategic: the most valuable parts of space are surprisingly limited. Think of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) as prime downtown real estate, where Starlink grabbed the best spots by moving fast. Geosynchronous orbit (GEO) sits higher up, like a permanent rooftop camera that never moves. And the moon? It's becoming the ultimate gas station, with frozen water that can be turned into rocket fuel.The episode wraps up with Dominic addressing Africa's glaring absence from this race. and what happens when we wake up to find all the good parking spots already taken? The new space race isn't about flags and photo ops; it's about supply chains, strategic positioning, and economic advantage. And with SpaceX's Starship now capable of moving massive payloads, building lunar bases isn't science fiction anymore; it's logistics, infrastructure, and economics.
