• Forget Baby Monitors – Ami Meoded Built a Mini Coach That Listens, Learns, and Never Judges

  In this episode, I sit down with Ami Meoded, the brilliant founder behind Elora: a revolutionary AI-powered baby wellness monitor. We dive into the incredible story of how a bold "gamble" on the future of AI became a mission to decode the secret world of babies — without cameras, without screens, and without judgment. --- --- ---A word from our Sponsor:Sensay creates AI-powered digital replicas to preserve and share individual and organizational knowledge, turning it into scalable, sustainable, and autonomous wisdom.Visit Sensay at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sensay.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And listen to Dan, Sensay's CEO and founder, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠in this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!--- --- ---From detecting crying, tummy time, and engagement levels to measuring air quality and even capturing your baby’s first “carrot” experience through voice, Elora is redefining parenting with empathy, data, and real-time insights.We explore how AI is used not to replace parenting, but to reflect it — empowering parents with facts, not guilt. You’ll hear how the Elora team split their neural networks to balance real-time alerts and deep end-of-day insights, why they avoid judgmental language in their reports, and how their mission supports equity by helping every child get the best start, no matter their background. Plus: parenting baggage, baby laughter data gaps, privacy ethics, and why urgent isn’t always important.You want to know more about Elora and LittleOne.Care?

• Why MongoDB Speaks AI’s Language – Richmond Alake Makes Vector Databases Easy

  What does AI have to do with MongoDB—and why does it matter for the future of work, creativity, and our very idea of “productivity”? In this episode, Richmond Alake from MongoDB joins us for a wide-ranging, insightful conversation on everything from the basics of machine learning to the future of vector databases and agentic AI systems. Richmond explains how large language models think in structured formats like JSON (just like developers!)—and why that makes MongoDB uniquely positioned for the age of generative AI.--- --- ---A word from our Sponsor:Sensay creates AI-powered digital replicas to preserve and share individual and organizational knowledge, turning it into scalable, sustainable, and autonomous wisdom.Visit Sensay at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sensay.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And listen to Dan, Sensay's CEO and founder, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠in this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!--- --- ---We also talk about the philosophy of AI: what happens when machines take over the laborious parts of life? Could AI be humanity’s last invention—and what kind of future could that unlock for us? Richmond shares his personal journey from bored developer to full-stack engineer to AI educator, plus how he’s using ChatGPT and Claude not just for coding, but for learning Japanese and debating ideas. And yes, we get into doomerism, overengineering with LLMs, and whether the word "work" might disappear entirely one day.Want to get more insights from Richmond?
