From Pen and Paper to Agentic Workflows: Building AI That Works in the Real World

Episode notes

In this episode of the Disambiguation podcast, host Michael Fauscette talks with Omid Pakseresht, CEO of Good Folio, about what it takes to build AI systems that actually work in enterprise settings, why model quality is no longer the bottleneck, and why adoption is a design problem that starts long before the technology. Omid studied math at Oxford and quantitative finance, built risk management tools, and was the first product person at two AI startups focused on knowledge graphs for finance and supply chain. He founded Good Folio about five years ago as an applied AI venture platform that sits between a platform company and a venture studio, where each deployment improves the next through cross-domain learnings and reusable infrastructure.
