    Nov 22 2024
    There’s an old song by Oasis where they sing about starting a revolution from their bed. In this episode we meet someone who did exactly that.

    There’s a lot of old and crusty tech out there that can often be of little use these days. But why is it that when some new procurement tech is implemented, it can often be not up to scratch or can even fail altogether…? In order to investigate this, we have CEO of Kinetic Talents and an Advisor to Apty, Matt Palackdharry. Unsurprisingly the question of AI pops up. Perhaps more surprisingly, Paul wants to bring back Clippy!
