As VP of Alexa, Daniel builds product for 600M Alexa devices. He had a great answer to my tough question: “Why has it taken so long to add AI to Alexa?” and then gave a live demo of what an AI-powered Alexa looks like. We also had a great chat about how to apply Amazon’s working backwards process to build useful AI products.
Daniel and I talked about:
(00:00) The real reason Amazon delayed adding AI to Alexa (03:21) Live demo: Alexa uses AI to book Warriors tickets under $100 (09:21) Which AI model(s) power Alexa behind the scenes? (11:50) How to build AI products using Amazon's PR/FAQ process (18:30) Speed vs quality: When to ship fast vs when to wait (23:00) Why Amazon pairs "invent" and "simplify" together (26:00) The future of AI voice assistants beyond your home

Micky is a full-stack engineer who has taught 100K+ people how to build with AI. In our episode, he walked me through his 4-step agentic engineering workflow to avoid pumping out slop: Isolate every task, build to a clear structure, prove via validation loops, and ship after agents review your PRs or escalate to you for a manual look.
Sam is the co-founder of Granola, the AI meeting notes app now valued at $1.5B. Granola has helped me survive (and even enjoy) countless meetings, so I was excited to learn how Sam uses AI to show up prepared. We also talked about building an AI-native company without the 996 grind and what design means when agents skip your app entirely.
