Welcome back to AI for Founders, I am Ryan Estes

There’s a mountain every company is quietly climbing — not of code or customers, but of unstructured data.
Billions of pages. Decades of contracts, PDFs, and reports trapped in digital silos no human has time to read. It’s where trillions of dollars in untapped insight are hiding — and where most AI systems still fail.

Today, we meet the man building the rope line up that mountain.
Mehul Shah, former AWS engineer behind OpenSearch and Glue, now leads Aryn.ai — a company on a mission to help enterprises turn the 90 percent of their data they can’t analyze into an engine of intelligence.

If you’re a founder, data leader, or investor wondering where the real AI gold rush begins — not in flashy demos, but in the hard, unseen work of structuring the world’s chaos — this episode is for you.
You’ll learn why most enterprise AI deployments fail, what “human-in-the-loop” really means, and how the next wave of productivity won’t come from chatbots — but from invisible AI that simply makes work work.

So grab your coffee, open your mind, and get ready to rethink what data really is.
Here we go.
