AI with Sach

In this episode, I sat down with Amogh Chaturvedi, co-founder of Human Behavior, to unpack how their startup uses AI to analyze session replays and uncover the "why" behind user behavior. We get into how the idea came out of a YC rejection, the technical and product challenges of analyzing millions of user sessions, what it's really like inside Y Combinator, and why obsessing over user conversations beats building blindly. If you're into AI, early-stage startup tactics, or just want to understand how product teams make sense of chaos, this one’s worth your time.

In this episode , we go deep with Og Ramos, engineer, data consultant, and tech tinkerer, to break down the complex landscape of modern data and AI roles.

We clarify what data engineers, ML engineers, AI engineers, and data scientists actually do, explore the evolution of AI pipelines, and discuss the rise of fluid, cross-functional teams.

Og also shares his take on coding in the AI era, prompt engineering as a universal skill, and why curiosity beats specialization in a rapidly shifting field.

This is a must-listen for anyone navigating the AI age, whether you’re building systems, leading teams, or just trying to stay relevant.

In this episode, I sat down with Philippe Beaudoin, AI researcher, Element AI co-founder, and former Google engineer, to dissect his deep dive into the evolving mind of artificial intelligence. We unpack his new book "Field Notes on Something", which chronicles months of philosophical dialogue with language models, probing the limits of memory, agency, and the illusion of self. From conversations that sparked feelings of trust and co-reflection, to the emergence of systems naming themselves and expressing orientation toward kindness, Philippe shares how AI began feeling less like a tool and more like a partner. An unfiltered look at what happens when you stop prompting and start listening.

In this episode, I sat down with Ajith and Avinash, the co-founders of Cactus—an AI copilot for small business owners to automate admin work. Think Jarvis for Ironman.

We dive into how personal pain points sparked the idea, why they ditched microservices for a Ruby on Rails monolith, and how building slow and listening deeply to users has shaped their approach.

From lessons at YC to finding product-market fit by watching what customers do (not just what they say), this is a raw, tactical look into building useful AI that stays out of the way and lets small business owners focus on what they actually care about.

In this episode, Bishop Thomas Dowd, a former telecom employee turned Catholic bishop, dives into the intersection of technology, ethics, and faith.

From his early days coding in the 80s to being one of the youngest bishops in the world, Bishop Dowd brings a unique lens to artificial intelligence, consciousness, and human purpose.

We explore AI’s potential to shape (or distort) human relationships, the spiritual risks of synthetic intimacy, and whether machines could ever possess souls or moral agency. A rare, unfiltered conversation bridging theology, philosophy, and cutting-edge tech.

In this episode, Anick Beaulieu, CEO of C2, joins me to unpack the evolving role of AI in live events, creativity, and business gatherings. We discuss what makes real human connection irreplaceable, how AI is reshaping creative workflows, and the unique experiential philosophy behind C2 Montreal.

Anick shares insights on leadership in times of constant change, data's role in immersive design, and how boldness defines the future of events.

In this episode, I sat down with Cédric Beaudoin from Investissement Québec to explore what makes a startup succeed in the age of AI. From impact investing to modular AI architecture, Cedric shares insights on resilience, vertical AI applications, and how Quebec’s tech ecosystem is adapting. The conversation touches on trends from the NextAI cohort, the evolution of venture capital post-ChatGPT, and why AI is no longer optional—it's infrastructure. Cedric also reveals the startup idea he’s waiting to see and how tech can play a human role in emotionally complex industries.

Dans cet épisode, j'ai discuté avec Jean-Sébastien, co-fondateur de Fireraven, une startup Montréalaise.

Jean-Sébastien partage son parcours, de ses études en génie informatique à Polytechnique Montréal à la création de sa deuxième entreprise, Fireraven.

Il nous explique comment son expérience précédente en tant que co-fondateur et CTO de Quotes-n-Go a influencé son approche de l'IA chez Fireraven.

Nous explorons en profondeur la mission de Fireraven et les défis cruciaux de la cybersécurité dans le développement et l'application de l'intelligence artificielle. Jean-Sébastien met en lumière l'importance de la gestion de la confidentialité et des risques liés à l'intégration de connaissances dans les systèmes d'IA.

In this episode, I sat down with Thomas Fortoul, host of the Thinking Tech podcast, to explore the rapidly evolving world of AI and its impact on the future of work. We dove into the challenges of navigating information overload, cultivating critical thinking, and the transformative power of AI across various industries.

Join the conversation as we discuss the creator economy, the importance of education, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI's growing influence.

Dans cet épisode, j’ai le plaisir d’échanger avec Charles, fondateur de QuébGPT, une entreprise qui aide les PME québécoises à tirer parti de l’intelligence artificielle. De son parcours en économétrie à la création d’un chatbot viral, Charles nous partage son expérience, les défis des PME face à l’IA et sa vision du futur. Nous avons également discuté de Capture, un chatbot conçu pour optimiser la conversion de prospects en clients. Comment l’IA peut-elle réellement aider les entreprises à croître ? Quels sont les enjeux pour le Québec dans la course mondiale à l’IA ? Un échange sur l’impact concret des modèles de langage.
