City AM's Tech and the City newsletter featured Mindstone CEO Joshua Wohle in a founder Q&A covering the UK tech landscape. Highlights on AI from the Q&A segment with City AM tech reporter, Saskia Koopman
Do you think we’re in an AI bubble? JW: No. I think we’re still in the very early stages, undervaluing AI by a long stretch. We know (from experience both personally and the companies we work with) that productivity increase will end up multiples of where we are today and most people don’t think that’s possible because they haven’t seen it (yet). One of our customers, Epignosis, gave every one of their 250 staff a personal AI agent and gained the equivalent of eight full-time roles in twelve weeks, and that’s only the start. It’s not a tech problem, it’s a people problem (people haven’t been taught how to use it)
What AI tool do you think everyone should use? JW: Some sort of agent: Cowork, Codex are both excellent. I’m biased, but the one I’d actually point people to is Rebel - the one we built - because it runs on any model and stores everything in plain files you own, so you’re never locked to a single vendor.
