In January 2026 he founded Managentics, whose platform uses about 50 small agents to model workflows while coding agents turn them into production systems. The episode explains how Finnish Consulting Group's 80 workflows were modelled in three months, and how a municipality's private-road grant process took one hour of human work and under ten hours of machine time. The conversation covers cheap everyday use of small models, the risks of model lock-in and of handing organisational memory to a platform, the end of the SaaS user interface, and why professional-services firms that skip the agentic transformation will fall behind. It closes on what happens to human brains when routine moves to the machine: decision fatigue, context switching and the ergonomics of AI.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "Customisation, Fable/Mythos 5.2 and Jensen Huang's affair", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "01:22", "title": "Jukka Ala-Mutka, Tapani Alasaarela and the stone age of computing", "seconds": 82}, {"t": "02:29", "title": "From Lotus Notes to a doctorate and head of AI at Admicom", "seconds": 149}, {"t": "04:30", "title": "Claude Code and the agentic-coding breakthrough", "seconds": 270}, {"t": "06:30", "title": "Sam Altman, RAM and local computing", "seconds": 390}, {"t": "08:58", "title": "Jensen Huang, the midterms and data centres", "seconds": 538}, {"t": "11:46", "title": "Fable 5.2, Mythos 5.2 and Opus 5.5", "seconds": 706}, {"t": "13:20", "title": "Models too large for everyday work", "seconds": 800}, {"t": "15:52", "title": "A two-cent run and a 166-fold price gap", "seconds": 952}, {"t": "16:23", "title": "Mythos and the new everyday of security", "seconds": 983}, {"t": "19:04", "title": "A red team attacks Samantha", "seconds": 1144}, {"t": "21:47", "title": "Managentics as the outside grown-up", "seconds": 1307}, {"t": "22:44", "title": "A private-road grant process with one hour of human work", "seconds": 1364}, {"t": "24:01", "title": "FCG: 80 workflows in three months", "seconds": 1441}, {"t": "25:49", "title": "Process descriptions finally get a user", "seconds": 1549}, {"t": "29:12", "title": "Agents under the hood and public calls for tender", "seconds": 1752}, {"t": "32:30", "title": "SaaS and the end of the user interface", "seconds": 1950}, {"t": "35:38", "title": "The machine challenges the human's decision", "seconds": 2138}, {"t": "37:01", "title": "The personality differences of Claude and OpenAI", "seconds": 2221}, {"t": "38:05", "title": "Two jobs and the output of 35 people", "seconds": 2285}, {"t": "40:15", "title": "Context switching and decision fatigue", "seconds": 2415}, {"t": "42:45", "title": "From a Lovable MVP to YOLO production", "seconds": 2565}, {"t": "44:04", "title": "Nearly a million lines of production code", "seconds": 2644}, {"t": "45:50", "title": "The machine codes and tests itself overnight", "seconds": 2750}, {"t": "46:44", "title": "Anthropic's and OpenAI's Git philosophies", "seconds": 2804}, {"t": "50:27", "title": "The agile manifesto in the age of agents", "seconds": 3027}, {"t": "51:26", "title": "Karpathy's memory model and the platform's 50 concepts", "seconds": 3086}, {"t": "52:56", "title": "Don't hand organisational memory to a platform", "seconds": 3176}, {"t": "54:10", "title": "Lock-in, fallback models and sovereignty", "seconds": 3250}, {"t": "56:04", "title": "Pitting models against each other's comments", "seconds": 3364}, {"t": "57:11", "title": "Gemini Flash and ElevenLabs voice agents", "seconds": 3431}, {"t": "58:57", "title": "A grown-up code factory: workflows first", "seconds": 3537}, {"t": "1:00:23", "title": "Professional-services firms: change or die", "seconds": 3623}, {"t": "1:02:16", "title": "Half the price, half the time", "seconds": 3736}, {"t": "1:04:32", "title": "In the end it is management's decision", "seconds": 3872}, {"t": "1:05:11", "title": "Next year is the year of the real world", "seconds": 3911}, {"t": "1:06:26", "title": "Why Jukka no longer prompts", "seconds": 3986}, {"t": "1:07:23", "title": "Brain fog and the ergonomics of AI", "seconds": 4043}, {"t": "1:09:32", "title": "Always-on agents and the private bubble", "seconds": 4172}, {"t": "1:10:39", "title": "An agent that watches cognitive load", "seconds": 4239}, {"t": "1:12:42", "title": "Contracts that let you be fired at any time", "seconds": 4362}, {"t": "1:15:33", "title": "Speed of learning is critical", "seconds": 4533}, {"t": "1:16:18", "title": "Your own company and decision-making power", "seconds": 4578}, {"t": "1:17:43", "title": "A world of one-person firms?", "seconds": 4663}, {"t": "1:18:50", "title": "Closing and cars in the Inner Circle", "seconds": 4730}], "sourceTranscriptType": "youtube_manual_fi", "subtitleMethod": "none", "provenance": "Owner page assembled from YouTube metadata, the publisher's own description and chapter marks, translated one for one, and checked against the publisher's own Finnish caption track.
