She has worked with leading global organisations and governments to integrate AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... into business operations and shares her expert take on how to implement AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... agents effectively and sustainably. From foundational readiness to forward-looking applications in finance, this episode explores the real-world complexities of AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... adoption and why the hype doesn’t always match the current state of the tech.
Throughout the conversation, Ima highlights one of the most common challenges she encounters—businesses eager to adopt AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... without the operational maturity to support it. Many organisations assume AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... agents are plug-and-play solutions capable of automating entire processes overnight. Ima explains that a successful rollout requires realistic expectations, clean and structured data, and a scalable cloud When referencing computing, the term 'cloud' refers to the generalisation of interconnected computers and services running on the Internet,... infrastructure. Her process begins with an AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... readiness and maturity assessment, followed by a clear implementation roadmap, akin to the steps taken during digital transformation or cloud When referencing computing, the term 'cloud' refers to the generalisation of interconnected computers and services running on the Internet,... migration initiatives.
Anthony and Ima also discuss the limitations of low-code and no-code platforms like Zapier and Make. While these tools are effective for rapid prototyping, they often struggle with scalability, testing environments, and customisation—especially in industries with complex regulatory needs. Ima explains that AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... Point offers both pre-built and fully customised agents, with the latter offering significantly more value in long-term strategic alignment. Anthony reinforces the point by noting that businesses relying solely on off-the-shelf solutions risk losing their unique edge by conforming to standardised workflows.
One of the standout examples Ima shares is from her work on TradeWize.com, a startup applying generative AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... to stock and crypto trading. Unlike traditional trading bots, the agents developed here are designed to support decision-making through real-time insights, rather than executing trades. It’s a fresh and empowering application of AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... that respects the regulatory boundaries of the financial sector while still enhancing user strategy and confidence. Ima also touches on another high-impact use case—an agent built to generate code aligned with an organisation’s existing codebase, helping developer teams stay consistent and compliant while boosting productivity.
As the episode draws to a close, Ima reflects on her goals for the year ahead: expanding the reach of AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a very large and broad spectrum of technologies which most people would be familiar with through... Point, helping more businesses become AI-native, and launching TradeWize into the market. She’s passionate about building agent-based systems that integrate seamlessly into existing operations and offer tangible value from day one.
