Notes from the workshop. Some pieces also appear on Forbes, LSE, Medium, and Swiss Cognitive — links inside.
- MCP as a Backend for Frontend
I started as an MCP sceptic. What changed my mind wasn't an argument — it was building something, and recognising a pattern I already knew from web architecture showing up somewhere I hadn't expected it.
- The AI Productivity Paradox: Why Your Agents Should Be Run Like Mini-Startups
The 'show me the money' phase of AI has arrived. The problem isn't that agents can't deliver value — it's that we measure it badly. A case for running every agent like a mini-startup with its own P&L.
- Mosaic Started It. Agents Will Finish It.
Why the age of browsers is ending, and what's taking its place. The internet of documents gave way to the internet of applications — which is now yielding to the internet of agents, with rich MCP clients as the new browser.
- Introducing markdown2pdf.ai: bridging the agent economy to human productivity
A service that lets AI agents convert markdown into beautifully formatted PDFs, billed by Bitcoin micropayments. An early bet on agent-native HTTP.
- Creating immersive views on visionOS using AI-generated 360° images, SwiftUI and RealityKit
How we use AI-generated panoramic imagery and a few RealityKit tricks to deliver immersive Apple Vision Pro experiences without the cost of full 3D scenes.
- Strategic trend forecasting: anticipating the future with artificial intelligence
If a black swan was only black because we weren't looking for it, what changes when machines can read everything at once?
- Why a serendipity mindset is crucial to make AI a success
Co-written with serendipity researcher Dr Christian Busch — why AI's biggest opportunities will be left on the table without humans who can connect dots.
- Serendipity is the key that unlocks strategic advantage
On knowledge asymmetry, Hayek, echo chambers, and why most organisations miss solutions they already have access to. As featured on Forbes and the WEF Davos Agenda 2022.
