Build AI is the only podcast that goes inside the room while AI companies are still being built, not after they've won. Every episode, an early-stage AI founder shares the real decisions they're making right now: what technical bets they're placing, how they're getting their first customers, what's breaking, and how they're fixing it. No hindsight. No billion-dollar vantage point. Just founders who are still figuring it out in public. If you're building an AI company, thinking about it, or in stealth right now, this show is made for you.
