Super Prompt: Building in the Era of AI Agents episodes

  • Voice AI: Your Phone Knows You're Sick

    AI that screens for diseases like COVID-19 based on voice patterns. Speaking a simple phrase into your phone, the system analyzes your voice profile for respiratory illness, and can be trained for conditions ranging from obesity to substance use. How voice biomarkers work and what this means for health screening. Featuring Mario Arancibia, CTO and entrepreneur.

  • Self-Driving AI: The Bicycle Problem

    What's easy for a teenage driver but hard for autonomous vehicles? Bicycles, bike racks, motorcycles—edge cases that reveal the gap between current AI capabilities and the roads we actually drive on. Tesla and other companies pitch fully autonomous vehicles as safer roads. We examine whether that claim holds up against the technical reality of perception systems trying to navigate human complexity. Featuring Maroof Farooq, AI Engineer at Nvidia.
