People think AI is the answer…it’s a tool, it’s data!
Miro Lu sits down with David Isaac Mathews (Founder, AIPath.one) to unpack how an AI-native strategy engine models customers and competitors using a digital-twin approach, runs large-scale strategy simulations to pre-test ideas, and helps teams avoid shipping “busywork.”
Check Out The Best Parts:
06:11 - Good Ideas don’t pay the bills
20:43 - AI isn’t overhyped
24:19 - How trust in tech evolves
26:24 - The eternal tech optimist
36:04 - Qualities of a start up founder

What You’ll Hear About
* AI ≠ magic wand: Why AI multiplies whatever your HR/process already is.
* From research to revenue: Connecting customer/competitor insight to build order and ROI.
* Simulation at scale: Exploring up to millions of scenarios before committing cash.
* Continuous customer discovery: Expectations shift, your strategy must, too.
* Asia’s early-stage reality check: Investor caution, market size constraints, and where deeptech fits.
* Consulting, reimagined: Service-as-software and lowering the cost of strategy.
* Agents in B2B: Clear workflows → delightful automations (and where general agents still struggle).
* Trust & privacy drift: Why people already “trust tech over family” and what that means.
