    How to Build Cool Stuff With AI (No Code Needed) | Maddie Reese

    Episode SummaryWhen Maddie Reese discovered AI tools in June, she’d never written a line of code. Six months later, she’d won multiple hackathons, built viral projects like Startup Obituary and Pet Hero Comics, and quit her job to go full-time as a vibe coder. In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie Healy sits down with Maddie to unpack what “vibe coding” actually is, and why joy might be the best productivity hack of all. From debugging API keys with ChatGPT to using Lovable, Cursor, and Replit to build entire web apps in hours, Maddie shares her exact workflow, her biggest “LLM gaslight” moment, and how she’s turning play into a career. Expect practical tips for no-coders, hilarious guinea-pig side quests, and a refreshingly real take on the future of AI creativity.

    How Agentic AI Actually Works (and What’s Still Hype)

    Episode SummaryBefore AI was cool, Dominick Ng was already building it. From a tiny country town in regional NSW to a PhD, a Fulbright Scholarship, and nine years at Google, Dom’s journey is the definition of technical brilliance meets humility. Today, he’s the Director of Engineering at Relevance AI, one of Australia’s fastest-growing agentic AI startups, backed by global investors and reshaping how teams build with large language models. In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie Healy sits down with Dom to talk about the real limits of agentic AI, why Australia needs to embrace experimentation, and how to build world-class engineering teams that can move fast without losing soul. Dom explains how AI-assisted coding is changing what engineers can do in a weekend, what makes a great AI hire, and why “if you can’t onboard a person, you can’t onboard an agent.” He also breaks down why Meta’s hiring strategy looks so extreme, what China’s AI talent boom really means, and the cringe misconceptions about AI “making us lazy.” If you’ve ever wanted to truly understand what’s behind the hype, this conversation will make you smarter (and probably a bit more patient with your next API error).

    Measuring Human Emotion with AI: Harrison Kennedy on Building ReFresh

    Before he was a VC-backed founder, Harrison Kennedy was walking for Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, and Tiffany & Co., a teenager from the Gold Coast suddenly living a global modeling career. When COVID hit, that world stopped. What began as a mental health podcast with a friend became Really Mental, a media company backed by Amazon, reaching 25 million people and hundreds of millions of collective followers. Now, Harrison’s building ReFresh, an emotional intelligence platform that helps companies detect how their people are feeling. Using AI models that analyse tone, text, and behavioural signals across tools like Slack and Google Workspace, ReFresh helps organisations measure mental wellbeing, burnout risk, and compliance, all while keeping employees anonymous. In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie Healy and Harrison talk about the evolution from creator to founder, how AI can be used to understand humans rather than replace them, and what it really means to build a values-driven company. Harrison shares lessons on patience, communication, and curiosity, and why in a world that’s more “connected” than ever, loneliness is still one of tech’s biggest unsolved problems.

    Velocity & Vibes: How Enhance Labs Raised Millions Before Building Anything

    Episode SummaryWhen Mike Keating and Haziq Nordin founded Enhance Labs, they raised millions without a product, a pitch deck, or even a bank account. Backed by Blackbird and QIC, they became known for their unfiltered takes, chaotic energy, and refusal to ship something they didn’t believe in, even as the rest of the AI world raced to launch. For months, they experimented in the shadows, building, pivoting, and learning why most AI startups were destined to fail. Then came the breakthrough: a way to let every user design their own personal internet, a “living interface” that could reshape how humans interact with software. In this episode, Mike and Haziq share why they chose velocity and vibes over hype, how playfulness and curiosity became their competitive edge, and why founders must know when not to finish something. They break down what AI products will collapse by 2026, the open problems that still need a Nobel Prize, and why the next wave of innovation will come from the weird ones, the teams laughing the loudest while everyone else plays safe.

    ANZ Needs AI Deepfake Laws ASAP | Replay Episode with Laura McClure

    Episode SummaryLaura McClure, Member of Parliament for the ACT Party in New Zealand, joins In the Blink of AI to unpack her viral deepfake experience, her groundbreaking member’s bill, and why tech regulation must protect victims without stifling innovation. In a powerful conversation, Laura reveals how she created a deepfake of herself in minutes—and why it’s a wake-up call for policymakers worldwide. She shares insights on balancing tech freedoms with responsible safeguards, why regulation is about behaviour not banning tools, and how New Zealand’s slow policy-making could leave them lagging behind. Laura also discusses how ACT’s libertarian values shape her pro-innovation, pro-startup stance and why deepfakes are a threat not just to teenagers, but to democracy itself. From the electricity grid challenges that could stall New Zealand’s AI adoption to the opportunities in agriculture and defence, this is a must-listen for founders, policymakers, and anyone passionate about the future of technology.

    How to Stay Creative in the Age of Average AI | Christina Jones, Canva

    Episode SummaryThere’s a lot of AI slop out there, bland prompts, generic images, boring text that all blends together. But how do you stand out when everything looks the same? In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie Healy sits down with Christina Jones (aka CJ), Head of Design for Generative AI at Canva, for an unfiltered conversation about creativity, originality, and why taste is the new moat in AI. CJ shares her journey from experimenting with a “cat editor” chatbot called Lemon to leading the design of Canva’s Magic Studio. She explains why AI should be a creative companion, not a micromanager, and how the “Steelman approach” can turn models into your best critic instead of your biggest cheerleader. They cover why productivity isn’t the whole story, why creativity is especially essential during a cost-of-living crisis, and why observing the world around you is the fastest way to sharpen your originality. Plus: Georgie’s first ever AI rant, spicy takes on AI boyfriends, and the eternal love for the em-dash. If you’ve ever worried that AI is dulling your creative edge, this episode is your permission slip to embrace originality, and maybe get a little emo about it. Time Stamps00:00 – Welcome + Georgie’s husky “bug not a feature” voice 03:15 – CJ’s role as Head of Design for GenAI at Canva 05:10 – Why CJ stopped using AI to edit her writing 08:29 – AI Hack of the Week: The “Steelman” method 12:00 – Georgie’s first-ever AI rant: The guinea pig app that never launched 14:20 – Big picture: how to actually think about AI in your life 17:00 – How CJ uses AI to audit her calendar 19:14 – Beyond productivity: where AI really adds value 23:24 – Why creativity matters in a cost-of-living crisis 27:23 – Trends in AI art + training your own diffusion models 32:38 – Is taste the real differentiator in AI? 34:43 – How to grow original thought + creativity fast 38:44 – The ethics (and paradox) of AI companions 43:06 – Spotting “AI slop” in writing 45:03 – Do you need to be a software engineer to survive the AI era? 46:47 – Takeaways: observe, get out of your bubble, grow your creative muscle Resources🙋‍♀️ Christina (CJ) Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjonesish/ ✍🏻 Jonesish Substack: https://jonesish.substack.com/about 🍎 Jonesish Website: https://www.jonesish.com/ In the Blink of AI is made possible by our wonderful partners Vanta🦙Vanta is the all-in-one solution for startups to become compliant quickly and build a security foundation with ease.

    Replay Ep - Building AI Support So Good, You’ll Wonder: Is This Really AI? | Steve Hind, Lorikeet

    Episode SummaryReplay Episode! When this conversation with Lorikeet co-founder Steve Hind first aired, the company had just raised $14M. Fast forward a few short months and they’ve doubled their valuation, become the hottest name in Australian AI, and poached some of the best engineers in the country. With so many new subscribers since then, we’re bringing this one back. In this episode, Georgie Healy sits down with Steve to unpack how Lorikeet built Rae, an AI platform powering complex support for banks, healthcare, SaaS, and beyond. Steve explains why Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) isn’t the silver bullet everyone thinks, what “agentic frameworks” really mean (and why it’s mostly marketing), and how starting with the hardest customer problems creates a defensible product. They also dive into what makes AI support feel truly human, why empathy matters more than “personality,” and how to balance technical brilliance with marketing clarity. Along the way, Steve shares his favourite AI tools, what he looks for when hiring, and why founders should stop being insecure about not training their own models. Whether you’re building in AI, hiring AI talent, or just curious about where the hype ends and real customer value begins—this replay is a masterclass in scaling smart AI support. Time Stamps01:52 – What makes Lorikeet different from other AI support tools 02:49 – Why banks and healthcare companies need AI-driven customer support 09:00 – What is RAG, and why does it matter for AI-powered customer service? 14:09 – The biggest mistake AI chatbots make in customer support 16:26 – What does "agentic reasoning" really mean? 19:12 – The cost of running AI models and why RAG reduces compute power 27:46 – AI tools Steve uses every day (and his take on Perplexity and Replit) 30:36 – How to stand out when applying for an AI job 39:18 – What people get wrong about AGI and AI scaling laws In the Blink of AI is made possible by our wonderful partners Vanta🦙Vanta is the all-in-one solution for startups to become compliant quickly and build a security foundation with ease.

    How Stripe Uses AI to Make Global Payments Feel Local

    Episode SummaryWhat if the next big unlock in payments wasn’t just faster checkouts, but bots buying on our behalf? In this episode of In the Blink of AI, Georgie Healy sits down with Karl Durrance, Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand at Stripe, to explore how AI is reshaping money movement at a global scale.
