    Female Founder Turns a Million-Dollar Data Entry Problem Into a Simple AI Solution

    "Why did nobody think of this by now?" Narmeen Kazmi asked herself after discovering her textile client spent millions per year on manual data entry. Working with a huge client supplying Pretty Little Thing and Boohoo, Narmeen watched teams waste time fetching data, organizing spreadsheets, and manually entering purchase orders. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Narmeen, Founder and Project Manager at Datrix, about building an AI-powered system that automates data entry by connecting directly to Gmail, reading purchase orders and receipts, and intelligently matching information to your database schema. The platform features a unique sticky-note dashboard UI designed for quick insights rather than lengthy reports, works with any retail business receiving orders via email, and deliberately avoids reinforcement learning to protect client data privacy. Narmeen reveals why she stopped searching for existing tools and built her own MVP during a hackathon, explains the vector-based matching process that doesn't require training on your data, and predicts simple solutions like Datrix will change the world more than flying cars. For anyone drowning in paperwork, manual data entry, or order processing chaos, Narmeen explains how AI can turn messy inboxes into organized databases automatically. Want to automate your data entry chaos?

    Former Docker VP Reveals the AI Security Gap Costing Teams 80 Hours

    Most companies deploying AI models right now cannot prove what's actually running in production. Jesse Williams, Co-founder and COO of Jozu and former VP at Docker, built infrastructure that cuts model audit compilation from three weeks to seconds while solving the security gap keeping enterprise teams awake at night. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Jesse about the moment defense contractors discovered their ML pipeline had no single source of truth, how a malicious prompt change slipped into AWS developer tools unnoticed, and why KitOps packages everything into cryptographically signed artifacts. Jesse shares how one team wasted 80 developer hours creating audit logs that Jozu now generates automatically, why infrastructure-level ethics matter more than model guardrails when a Chevy chatbot sold a car for one dollar, and his prediction that we'll soon see the first billion-dollar company run by 10 people as AI levels the playing field globally.

    How This AI Memory App Is Helping Us Preserve the Stories & Memories of Our Loved Ones

    What started as morning text prompts to her mother became an AI platform preserving family memories before it's too late. In this episode of Lead with AI, host Dr. Tamara Nall interviews Kimberly Carson, former IBM Watson researcher and founder of Ancestral Echoes, and explains how sensory questions like "What did Sunday morning smell like in your childhood?" unlock stories that heal rather than just create nostalgia. A beta tester who lost her mother unexpectedly found voice memos that felt like letters her mom left behind without knowing. Carson reveals how AI organizes these memories into multi-modal capsules that preserve voice, tone, and cultural context, creating living archives for future generations. This isn't about recreating voices or faking memories. It's about making space for stories that matter while the people who lived them are still here to share.

    Meet the AI Framework That Turns LLMs Into Fully Transparent Machines

    Most AI development tools hide what's happening under the hood. Scott Vance built the opposite. Convo Lang is a plain text framework that exposes every part of the AI interaction process, making context engineering precise and visible. In this episode of Lead with AI, host Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Scott, a creator and developer from Cincinnati who spent nearly 20 years building software tools. Scott explains how Convo Lang started as a small library to eliminate repetition in his AI projects and evolved into a comprehensive framework for developing AI-native applications. He describes how every interaction with an LLM gets stored in local files you can review, helping developers understand how AI reached specific decisions. Scott shares how he used his new tool Convo Make to complete a week's worth of work in just a few hours, generating an entire application frontend and backend including security rules in one shot. He reveals his vision for language models that can interpret code written specifically for AI rather than forcing models to generate the same code humans have been writing for decades. For developers frustrated by tools that treat AI interactions like black boxes, Scott demonstrates what becomes possible when you expose the full context and make every message visible in plain text format you can read and organize.
