In The Blink of AI with Georgie Healy

Episode Summary
Tom Newby, Head of AI and co-founder at Procure Pro, joins Georgie Healy for a fast, candid tour through the most useful, controversial, and surprisingly human parts of the AI wave.
They start with Tom’s favourite under-the-radar tool in Australia, Hex, and its new “AI data analyst” agent that can actually do analyst work, not just answer simple queries. Georgie shares her own weekend hack: using AI to redesign a very average rental outdoor area with photo-based before-and-afters.
From there, the conversation turns to the bigger questions: whether using LLMs makes us “lazy”, why the blank page problem is real (and how AI helps you get to a wrong answer fast so you can refine), and what it takes to build AI features that actually matter inside a product. Tom breaks down Procure Pro’s mission to save a billion hours of construction admin and explains “bid leveling”, the messy PDF-to-spreadsheet reality that procurement teams face every day.
Georgie also brings the headlines. They unpack Australia’s surge in commercial data centre construction (and why the export narrative might not hold), plus Tom’s spicy take on OpenAI’s recent cadence, model naming chaos, and why distribution and “apps” could matter more than raw model gains.
They finish with rapid-fire stories: Tom’s accidental three-hour job, a 7-Eleven game exploit turned Slurpee rewards, a surprisingly thoughtful answer on ADHD and LLM workflows, plus a practical trust framework for everyday AI users.

Episode Summary
Australia has a new AI strategy, but does it match the speed of the moment? Dr Tom Kelly, CEO of Heidi Health, and Anish Sinha, founder of UpCover, sit at the coalface of deploying AI in two of the most regulated industries in the country: healthcare and insurance. They have both built companies where safety, compliance, and real-world adoption are not optional, and they bring that builder perspective to a frank assessment of the government’s latest plan.
In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie sits down with Tom and Anish for a practical conversation on what Australia’s AI strategy gets right, what it completely misses, and what it would take to move from vague principles to measurable outcomes. They argue the plan needs sharper priorities, clearer success metrics, and a more decisive approach to accelerating adoption in industries where AI can lift productivity quickly.
Tom unpacks why Australia is non-competitive on energy and compute, why chip availability and latency matter if we want world-class AI experiences locally, and what policy levers could make Australia a serious data centre and infrastructure contender. Anish explains why tech-neutral regulation is a relief for startups, why government should focus on long-term market-making rather than short-term accelerators, and why Australia should look to Canada for inspiration instead of trying to copy the US or China.
This is a sharp, builder-led episode for anyone trying to understand what Australia should actually do next in AI, from infrastructure and sovereignty to education, public sector productivity, and stopping bad actors without slowing innovation.

Episode Summary
Heidi Health has quietly become one of the most widely used AI products in Australia, powering nearly two million clinical visits a week and transforming how doctors document care. In this re-release of the year’s most downloaded episode, Georgie sits down with Heidi cofounder and CEO Dr Tom Kelly to unpack how this runaway success was built, why clinicians trust it, and what the rise of medical agents means for the future of healthcare.
Tom shares the technical decisions that shaped Heidi’s accuracy advantage, including the surprising reason they ditched live transcription, how batch processing boosts note quality, and why a two percent gain in transcription accuracy can unlock a forty percent jump in adoption. He also breaks down what non technical founders absolutely must understand about LLMs, how he evaluates off the shelf models, and why compliance and regional infrastructure shape every product decision.
The conversation stretches far beyond medical notes. Tom dives into why rag is failing many real world use cases, how giant context windows could reshape patient care, and which AI startups may struggle as models get faster and cheaper. There are hot takes on personal branding, the attention hacking era, and the types of B2B SaaS companies he believes will not survive. Plus, Georgie and Tom play Late Stage Startup Bingo and share two very usable AI hacks.
This episode is a sharp, founder friendly deep dive into building AI products people rely on in the real world. A perfect refresher as we head into a huge 2026 for Australian AI.

Episode Summary
Amy Saper sits at the intersection of Silicon Valley’s AI boom, early-stage company building, and deep operator experience. Now a General Partner at Uncork Capital in San Francisco, she cut her teeth at Twitter, Uber, and Stripe before becoming one of the most sought-after seed investors backing the next generation of AI infrastructure and applications.
In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie sits down with Amy for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is rewriting early-stage investing, what real moats look like in an era of fast-moving models, and why she evaluates founders on slope, not pedigree.
Amy breaks down how she invests in AI-enabled apps and infra, why Gamma’s “overnight success” actually took five years, how non-technical investors can still win deeply technical deals, and what founders get wrong about market size. She also shares candid advice about hiring top AI talent (hint: bring your walking shoes), how to stand out as a seed-stage company, and why she’s bullish on cities and policies that embrace innovation.
This is an energising, thoughtful, and highly tactical episode for anyone building or backing AI in 2025.
