The AI Podcast

In episode two, Alex Slade (ACorp) spends his first Rant Quota on his own industry, and he and Elliot Munro (GCIT) talk about what customers should be able to expect from an MSP, why licence-only customers still carry risk now that AI makes targeted phishing cheap, and the minimum standards both of their businesses now set. Then what they shipped, why an MCP server is just infrastructure, who should get which AI tool, and the lesson in the title: don't wait for the perfect system.In this episode:• We shipped: episode one is out• The Rant Quota: an industry with no rulebook• One customer, one tenancy• Compliance versus common sense• Phishing, licences and minimum standards• What did you ship?• An MCP server is just infrastructure• The right tool for the right person• Just do your work• Charlatan Watch, and gravel roadsEpisode notes and free playbooks from this episode: https://theaipodcast.com.au/episodes/02-just-do-your-work/

Alex Slade (A Corp Computers) and Elliot Munro (GCIT) sit down for the first time to explain why two people running managed service providers think this is the most exciting moment in technology of their careers, and why that is exactly the moment the charlatans show up. They cover the click moment with agentic coding tools, why MSPs were built for this shift, the 38 rubbish portals you have to build before the good one, and the security principle that makes AI agents safe: the model only produces text, and your harness decides what it is allowed to do.
