Drive by AI is a podcast by Jon Wellman, Founder and CEO of Vokke, where AI, business, technology and entrepreneurship get unpacked in real time, usually somewhere between meetings, client calls, life errands and the drive home. These are raw thoughts, observations and conversations recorded from the car while building a software company in the middle of one of the biggest technology shifts we’ve ever seen. No studio polish. No hype. Just practical insights on AI adoption, software, leadership, systems, business growth, fatherhood, and what it actually looks like to run a modern tech company behind the scenes. Vokke builds high-assurance AI and software systems for serious businesses across finance, defence and healthcare, with a focus on security, compliance and long-term reliability over flashy demos and empty promises. If you’re curious about where AI is really heading, how businesses are adapting, and what happens when technology meets real-world operations, jump in for the ride!

    AI Finally Got Real - Ep 001

    Welcome to Drive by AI. This is my first attempt at recording a podcast on the morning commute, so expect some background noise. I've been pretty critical of AI hype for the last year, and most of the 10x productivity claims still don't stack up. But something genuinely shifted recently. The models got smarter. Coding agents like Claude Code matured. The work coming out actually holds up to our standards at Vokke now. In this episode, I cover: What changed with AI in software developmentWhy I'm still not buying every productivity claim on LinkedInHow AI is reshaping work for regulated industries like finance, defence, and healthcareWhy software is the canary in the coal mine for every other knowledge industryWhy human review still matters when adopting AI in your businessHonest take from a founder who builds high-assurance AI systems for serious operators.  If you're listening, let me know if the format works.
