The Agent Odyssey is a podcast about what it really takes to bring AI to market. Hosted by Matt Wyman, CEO and Co-founder of Okareo, each episode explores how founders and builders are turning AI from prototype to product and what they’re learning along the way. We skip the frameworks and the hype to focus on the messy, human side of AI adoption: earning trust, pricing intelligence, redefining work, and balancing automation with accountability. Every conversation ends with one essential question: “What human skill do people need to develop in preparation for the world of AI?”

    AI Twins and the Future of Work

    In this episode of Agent Odyssey, Matt Wyman sits down with Prifina CEO Markus Lampinen to explore the emerging world of AI twins and what they mean for how we live and work. Markus shares how personal AI agents can act as extensions of ourselves, handling communication, surfacing insights, and even representing us when we are unavailable. The conversation dives into deeper questions around ownership, identity, and the evolving relationship between individuals and organizations. What happens when your expertise is packaged into an AI twin? Who owns that knowledge? And how might companies balance personal agents with enterprise systems? Matt and Markus also explore the idea of a “household staff” of AI, where multiple agents work together to support your daily life, from managing tasks to filtering noise and helping you stay aligned with your goals. Along the way, they discuss the importance of introspection, curiosity, and human connection in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent systems. This episode is a thoughtful look at the human side of AI: how we define what makes us unique, how we choose to augment ourselves, and how we navigate a future where intelligence is both personal and programmable.
