Your Business Needs an AI Brain: Here’s How to Build One
Your best people won’t stay forever—but their knowledge can.
In this episode, I reveal how to build an “AI brain” that captures your organisation’s most valuable asset: human expertise. This isn’t just about plugging in ChatGPT. It’s about designing systems that store structured data, unstructured files, and even tacit knowledge—so that when people leave, their know-how stays.
Here’s what I cover:
- How to extract and store real-world expertise from your team
- Why tacit knowledge is the most valuable (and the easiest to lose)
- Tools like vector databases, Microsoft Copilot, Rewind, and RAG systems
- How I built my own AI brain — and what it actually does
- The critical risks around privacy, access, and consent
If you're building a smarter, more scalable organisation, this episode will give you the blueprint to start capturing what really matters — before you lose it.
