Digital Nexus Ep 42: Annie Liao, From Community to Company: Building AI Products That Actually Ship
What does it take to turn AI hype into shipped products? Annie Liao (Build Club / Relevance AI) joins us to unpack agentic workflows, community-led product discovery, and the mindset founders need to go from idea to MVP and revenue, fast.
Annie shares the playbook behind The Builders Club AI and her work at Relevance AI, including how to validate problems, run lightweight experiments, and use agentic patterns without creating black-box chaos. If you build, design, or lead AI products in Australia, this one’s for you.

AI isn’t the enemy, it’s the experiment of our lifetime. At SXSW Sydney 2025, we took Digital Nexus onto the floor and into the streets to ask a simple question: doom or hope? From late-night hackathons to founders shipping agentic workflows, this episode captures how Australians are actually building with AI.
We go behind the scenes with builders and community leads from Build Club, hands-on teams using Relevance AI, Lovable, and Bolt.new, and ecosystem voices like the National AI Centre, plus candid vox pops from attendees who think AI is either saving creativity… or killing it. If you’re a founder, product leader, or designer trying to turn hype into shippable outcomes, start here.

Why “AI doom vs. hope” is the wrong frame, and what builders are doing instead
Where agentic workflows beat black-box agents (and when they don’t)
How tools like Relevance AI, Lovable & Bolt.new compress idea to MVP
Practical adoption patterns we saw across Aussie startups and teams
What the National AI Centre says about responsible rollout in AU
The real skills founders need next (UX, data, orchestration, governance)

Want clearer, more consistent AI outputs? In this episode, we break down three prompting skills that help founders, PMs, and UX leads go from idea → clickable MVP fast—using ChatGPT and Claude. Guest Bastian Epskamp shares his 3-phase system (prepare → implement → learn), how to ship prototypes stupid fast with V0/vibe-coding, and a case study on building Auction Buddy (AI for buyer-side property decisions).
What you’ll learn
The 3 skills: framing, constraint design, and iterative prompting (ChatGPT & Claude).
Prompt templates that work: turn vague asks into structured tasks for reliable outputs.
Speed to MVP: V0/vibe-coding, docs-as-leverage, tight feedback loops.
Real product examples: how “Auction Buddy” scores inspections, plans bids, and does live auction maths.
Team craft: pair human creativity with AI to reduce cycles and increase signal.
Who this helps: Founders, product managers, and UX leads shipping LLM apps, agentic workflows, internal knowledge assistants, and customer-facing AI features.
Timestamps:
00:00 Intro — Meet Bastian (BE Innovations) & the “product lens”

16:05 Teams, mistakes, and building with intent
19:30 Exit story → starting a strategy/innovation lab
21:00 Monetisation & prioritisation: pick the sharpest pain points
24:30 AI = remove repetition, keep judgment (why experience still matters)
29:10 Aussie ecosystem: capital cycles, resilience, and pivots
31:00 Upskilling across functions (seeing the whole system)
35:30 Prompt frameworks that work (structure, constraints, examples)

Michelle Gilmore (CEO & Co-founder, Juno) built a digital twin of herself to scale her business. Juno conducts high-quality, qualitative interviews—turning Michelle's 20+ years, and 10,000+ research projects into an AI “listening engine.” We dive into how Juno runs real conversations at scale, why expertise-in-the-loop beats checkbox surveys, and how a digital twin lets a CEO focus on strategy while the AI handles the heavy lifting.
Guest & company:
Michelle Gilmore, CEO & Co-founder, Juno
Juno is an AI research platform that runs real interviews on your behalf
You’ll learn:
What Juno actually does (and how it differs from “conversational surveys”)
Why Michelle raised $2.8M from Blackbird Ventures to build a global “listening engine”
How she captured her tacit expertise to train agents (principles, role-plays, competencies)
Fear vs. reality: AI won’t replace her, it amplifies and scales her impact
When AI is a feature vs. a product and why the answer is “it depends”
Why this matters:
Most teams still send surveys and get thin, leading data. Juno probes, follows up, and helps people articulate what they actually think and feel, so product and research teams can act with confidence.
Key moments (chapters):
00:00 Cold open & why “clone the CEO”
06:00 From researcher to founder: Michelle’s path to Juno
12:00 What Juno actually does (beyond surveys)
18:00 Building the Digital Twin CEO: capturing tacit expertise
24:00 Co-CEO in practice: decisions, prioritisation, removing the founder bottleneck
33:00 Fear vs reality: risks, adoption, and what leaders get wrong about AI
38:00 Scaling quality without burnout: ops, team, and metrics
42:00 Founder playbook: what to delegate first + what’s next for Juno
