About the podcast

AI explained in plain English.

The AI Breakdown turns artificial intelligence into a conversation people can use. Each episode looks at how the technology works, where it creates value and what it means for your job, your business and your future.

You get practical context, honest qualification and clear conclusions. The aim is to help you make better decisions about AI with the time, team and budget you already have.

Meet your host

Thirty years in tech, and still interested in what comes next.

Hi, I'm Andy. I started in the dial-up era and I've worked as a developer, product leader and CEO. I'm now co-founder and CTO at Notify Technology.

My focus is artificial intelligence and how it can make work and safety more effective, faster and a lot less tedious. I started The AI Breakdown after seeing smart people overwhelmed by jargon, inflated promises and advice that was hard to apply.

The podcast explains what AI is, how it is changing work and how you can use it without needing a PhD or a million-pound budget.
