AI Co-Work: Subatomic.AI’s Karl Simon

Adapt. Evolve. Scale.

That’s the Mantra at Subatomic.Ai and in this episode, Fred Davis sits down with Karl Simon, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Subatomic AI, to explore how agentic AI is reshaping industries from manufacturing to wealth management to legal services. Karl has been in the data game since the 90s (yes, building data warehouses at Oracle before it was cool), and now he's leading a company that's gone from 23 to 100+ AI coworkers internally — while maintaining zero dissatisfied customers.

This conversation delves into:

✅ Why businesses should hire AI coworkers, not buy software

✅ How agentic workflows adapt, evolve, and scale at the speed of business

✅ The "SaaS apocalypse" and why static software is dying

✅ How Subatomic turned a pessimistic prospect into their lead investor

✅ The AI bubble: infrastructure vs. application layer

✅ Why "seeing is believing" — and how to demo AI in days, not months

✅ The future of work: humans as managers of AI coworkers

✅ What we're getting right (and wrong) about AI
