Listen in as we talk with Dan Porder and Daniel Whytock co-founders of Valae.ai, based in London.

The problem isn't search. It's connection.

Your documents don't talk to each other. Knowledge is trapped in files, people, and tools that were never designed to connect.

Pluck reads everything: contracts, emails, reports, Slack threads. Then it maps the relationships between people, organizations, projects, and concepts across every source. Automatically. No schema. No tagging. No data team.

One knowledge graph. Every tool, supercharged.

Your knowledge graph doesn't just live in Pluck. Plug it into any tool your team already uses, and give every platform the intelligence of your entire company.

Your CRM answers client questions with full deal context. Your support tool resolves tickets using every document you've ever written. Your AI assistant finally understands your business, because Pluck feeds it everything.

Listen in as we listen to an AI generated story about "How MIT Founders Actually Built Silicon Valley."

I like reading and listening to inspirational stories. I was interested in getting clarity on some famous founders from MIT as a source of inspiration for me and for the people I'm meeting at MIT that are interested in starting AI companies.

A quick search turned up an article from 2014 by Eugene Kim entitled, "Companies Founded by MIT Grads."

From his bio on BusinessInside.com: In 2022, Eugene broke a story uncovering Amazon’s practice of deceptively enrolling customers in Prime and deliberately making cancellation difficult. A year later, the Federal Trade Commission sued the company, citing his reporting. That case culminated in a record $2.5 billion settlement in 2025.

In the episode I share that:

--I wanted to create an audio of the article so I could listen rather than read it.

--I decided to be creative and rather than an audio, to turn it into a conversational audio using NotebookLM.

--I tweaked the prompt to heighten the rivalry between MIT, Stanford, and Harvard.
