    AIP Podcast EP 77 - Reverse RAG and Deterministic AI Infrastructure by Formic AI

    This episode’s guest, Daniel Escott, CEO of Formic AI, joins host Anne to tackle one of the most urgent challenges in artificial intelligence: hallucinations and the trust gap in enterprise AI. Daniel shares his unexpected journey from federal court law clerk to CEO of an AI Company, where drafting AI guidelines for Canada’s Federal Court sparked a deeper mission to solve the reliability crisis facing generative AI across law, finance, government, and other high-stakes industries. Daniel explains how Formic AI’s groundbreaking deterministic and observable architecture flips traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) on its head. By identifying and validating source material before passing information to a language model, Formic’s reverse RAG framework eliminates fabricated citations, increases explainability, and delivers verifiable, trustworthy outputs that professionals can rely on. The conversation also explores Formic’s innovative Explainable Language Model (XLM) architecture — a neurosymbolic, graph-based system that dramatically reduces GPU dependence and cuts energy consumption by orders of magnitude. Daniel makes the case that the future of AI must not only be safe and reliable, but also clean, ethical, and energy-efficient.

    AIP Podcast EP 75 - Smarter Faster More Collaborative RFPs that Win with Trampoline

    This episode’s guest, Edouard Reinach, Founder and CEO of Trampoline, joins host Anne to explore one of the most overlooked yet mission-critical challenges in enterprise operations, which is the chaos of RFP responses. Edouard shares his unexpected journey from teenage coder and global communicator to AI founder, shaped by curiosity, diverse international experiences, and a drive to solve real operational bottlenecks. He breaks down why RFPs are the ultimate stress test for AI and explains how Trampoline transforms a messy high high-stakes, and highly collaborative process into a streamlined workspace powered by advanced AI that reads complex RFPs, extracts requirements, engages subject matter experts, and drafts high-accuracy responses so teams can focus on strategy instead of manual effort. Edouard also addresses common concerns about generative AI by explaining how Trampoline eliminates inaccuracies through expert validation, continual knowledge capture, and a workflow that augments teams rather than replacing them while also creating structured data that can reveal capability gaps and market opportunities.  Follow AIP Affiliate, Trampoline Website: https://www.trampoline.ai/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trampolineai/ Send us Feedback or Partnership Inquiries Follow AI Partnerships Website: https://www.aipartnershipscorp.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aipartnershipscorp/ X: https://twitter.com/AIPartnerships The AIP Podcast is hosted by Anne Cheng, on behalf of the AI Partnerships, a Railtown company

    AIP Podcast EP 74 - Smarter Clinical Outcomes through Odesso's AI-Powered Interoperability

    This episode’s guest, Zameer Rizvi, Founder and CEO of Odesso, joins host Anne to explore one of the most urgent challenges in modern healthcare: the widespread fragmentation caused by disconnected and siloed systems. Zameer shares how his global upbringing and engineering background shaped his mission-driven, first principles approach to fixing healthcare’s lack of continuity, an issue that drives up costs, contributes to clinician burnout, and directly affects patient lives.  He explains why interoperability has remained so difficult despite the availability of advanced technology and how Odesso is applying machine learning, agentic AI, and generative AI to extract insights, reduce administrative workload, and dramatically improve outcomes. Zameer also discusses how he builds trust in a highly regulated environment, reframes ROI in a sector driven by patient impact rather than transactions, and reveals how health systems are already seeing substantial returns from AI-powered clinical data review and automation. He closes with valuable advice for innovators aiming to make healthcare more accessible by viewing compliance, privacy, and safety requirements not as barriers but as opportunities to create safer and more connected care.  Tune in to learn how Odesso is redefining interoperability and helping healthcare organizations deliver faster, fairer, and more effective care, supported by intelligent, integrated technology.  Follow AIP Affiliate, Odesso Website: https://www.odesso.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/odessohealth/ Send us Feedback or Partnership Inquiries Follow AI Partnerships Website: https://www.aipartnershipscorp.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aipartnershipscorp/ X: https://twitter.com/AIPartnerships The AIP Podcast is hosted by Anne Cheng, on behalf of the AI Partnerships, a Railtown company
