James Reed: all about business 18. What The UK needs to learn from Silicon Valley about AI: The Hollingsworth Brothers, Fyxer AI
Concern around AI is higher than ever. But could 2025 be ‘make or break’ for businesses who have yet to embrace it?
In this episode of 'All About Business' I talk with sibling duo, Richard and Archie Hollingsworth, founders of Fixer AI.
They discuss their journey from bootstrapping a $5 million agency to spearheading an innovative AI personal assistant tool which they say can give you an hour back every day. They share insights from their transformative stint in Silicon Valley, reflect on the impactful role of AI in modern businesses, and highlight why 2025 is a pivotal year for AI adoption.
