About the Guest  

Yaakov Sash is the founder of Casso.ai, a platform pioneering “vibecrafting” — the missing step between what we mean and what AI builds. He is a former head of Digital Asset Markets Tech at Credit Suisse and has led major technology initiatives at Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, and Deutsche Bank. His work focuses on AI-native software development, compliance-ready builds, and bridging business requirements with production-ready code.

Key Takeaways  

  • The biggest challenge in AI coding isn’t speed — it’s architecture and validation.

  • Many non-technical users get stuck when the “magic” of AI-generated apps wears off, revealing hidden complexity.

  • Enterprises already rely heavily on Excel and Google Sheets, but AI coding could replace these fragile systems with more robust solutions.

  • Casso.ai is rethinking software development by enabling traceability from business requirements to running code.

  • Future developers won’t write most of the code — AI will — but validation, compliance, and alignment will require more skilled developers than ever before.

  • Yaakov predicts that in the next five years, humans may no longer be writing code directly, but their role will be essential in reviewing and guiding AI outputs.
