Are emails dead? | How AI Agents help you work faster
What if you could do three full-time jobs and still have time to sleep? In Episode 15 of The Unfair Advantage, Kelvin Jonck and Don Packett sit down with tech legend Vincent Maher to discuss the "Time Compression" era of AI.
From the early days of Vodacom’s The Grid to his current role as a multi-CEO, Vincent shares how he has "augmented" himself to move at a speed that was impossible just a year ago. We dive into Claude Code, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and why the future of e-commerce belongs to agents, not browsers.
What’s in this episode:
The Death of the Email Thread: Why reading a 40-mail corporate thread is a waste of time in 2026.
Agentic Software Development: How tools like Claude Code allow developers to act as architects while AI handles the execution of hundreds of technical tasks.
What is MCP? An introduction to the Model Context Protocol—the "USB-C for AI" that allows your agents to talk to any service, from Shopify to your bank.
Agent-to-Commerce: Why your future shopping won't be done on a website, but by your agent negotiating with a store’s agent in real-time.
The "Vibe Coding" Reality: Moving past one-line prompts into building complex, professional-grade platforms in days instead of months.
Vincent is a pioneer in the South African digital landscape. Having held leadership roles at Kagiso Media, Mxit, and Vodacom, he now leads Broadbrand and Digitalize, focusing on the intersection of AI, programmatic media, and agentic commerce.
