2026
- Perspective · AI
Context is everything.
AI slop is not a tools problem. It is a context problem, and the fix is the frameworks and specialised agents that give a model something to work from.
- Perspective · AI
The moat you cannot buy.
A competitor can buy the same AI you did. What they cannot buy is one that has spent a year learning your business.
- Perspective · AI
Someone else’s permission slip.
Frontier models were switched off worldwide overnight. A place on the trusted partner list is not safety, it is a privilege somebody else can revoke.
- Perspective · AI
What is your AI optimising for?
The question is not whether you use AI, but what you have pointed it at. The businesses that win optimise with it, not for it, and still let a human decide.
- Perspective · AI
The map was the point.
Copilot moved to token-based billing, which made the map worth money. How GraphRAG and Graphify cut what an agent costs you on every request.
- Perspective · AI
They said AI wasn’t ready. I built the future anyway.
Everyone agreed it was not ready. Two years on the platforms ship at a hundred times the pace, and the real risk turned out to be waiting.
- Perspective · Leadership
The era of builders.
The edge has moved to the people who build. In an AI shift, teams that ship beat teams that talk, and the gap compounds.
2025
- AI · Discovery
Why soon opening a browser will be something different — and what it means for retailers.
A week of AI search instead of Google, what it changed, and why customer discovery is moving faster than most retailers have noticed.
- Case study · AI
Building a custom GPT — Moto Manual Assistant.
AI earns its place when it solves a real problem. The Moto Manual Assistant is one — a custom GPT for riders and the workshops that fix their bikes.
- AI · Search
The future of finding your business is AI.
AI discovery is replacing search. A brand that is not structured to be found by a model becomes invisible to the customers it wants most.
- Retail · Transformation
Why reinventing the future matters more than revisiting the past.
Yesterday’s blueprint is now the expensive option. Agentic AI and operational orchestration are where retail’s advantage has moved.
- Leadership
Trust when AI starts making decisions.
The more decisions move to the machines, the more the human ones matter. Trust, integrity and culture in the agentic era.
- AI · Brand
Will AI choose your brand?
Discovery is no longer about who shouts loudest. How to make your product information clear enough for a model to find it and recommend it.
2023
- E-commerce · Retail
Deepening the digital retail experience: TEMU and gamification.
Game-led shopping is reshaping retail. What it teaches about engagement and habit, and what chasing both actually costs.
- Ops · CRM
How HubSpot CRM revolutionised my client relationships.
Stronger client relationships and record engagement came from the same place: less manual admin, and data clean enough to trust.
- Case study
Transforming chaos into calm: a Digital Discovery success story.
A scattered digital presence rebuilt as one system, so the tools support the day’s work instead of adding to it.
- Podcast
Join the conversation on Digital Discovery Podcast.
An invitation to founders and operators with something practical to say about digital, retail, AI and growth.
- Podcast
Reflecting on my initial month with Digital Discovery Podcast.
One month in: what listeners responded to, what caught me out, and where the show goes next.
- Strategy
Desired digital paths.
Strategy drifts unless somebody realigns it. The practical paths for a business ready to make its digital systems actually perform.
- Marketing
Digital marketing basics — customer acquisition.
Platform choice, content strategy and the steps that genuinely acquire customers — in plain English, and in the order they matter.
- Websites
Website basics.
Domains, hosting, responsive design and SEO foundations in plain English — and what it actually takes to stay online once you have launched.
Nothing matches that. Clear the search, or pick another topic.
