The mandate
From scattered pilots to decisions, ownership, and measurable business outcomes.
01 / Work with RecodeAI
Three ways to move from ambition to action.
Start with a defined decision, bring in executive leadership for execution, or work with us across a portfolio.
02 / ONGOING LEADERSHIP
Executive Advisory & Fractional CxO
Senior product, technology, and AI leadership alongside your team, from operating model and architecture to delivery and governance.
For CEOs, founders & leadership teams
03 / INVESTMENT & PORTFOLIO
Board & Investor Advisory
Independent technology and AI judgment for boards, investors, and portfolio companies making consequential decisions.
Diligence · portfolio value creation
Need a leadership team aligned first?
Executive AI workshops and readiness assessments provide a practical starting point.
AI Readiness → Maturity diagnostic →02 / The operating approach
Make the decisions that get AI into production.
Technology matters. So do ownership, economics, process design, security, and the people who run the work after launch.
01 — UNDERSTAND
Find the value
Map business friction, customer needs, and the current AI portfolio.
02 — DECIDE
Choose the bets
Prioritize use cases by value, feasibility, and time to evidence.
03 — DESIGN
Build the system
Set architecture, governance, ownership, and success measures.
04 — DELIVER
Prove the result
Move into production, measure adoption, and adapt the operating model.
A roadmap leadership can fund. An operating plan teams can execute.
03 / Founder-led judgment
Built by someone who has carried the mandate.
Suman Guha has spent more than two decades leading product and technology at scale, across consumer businesses and global enterprises. RecodeAI brings that operating perspective into the boardroom and the work that follows.

🔴 Breaking
OpenAI Engineer Charged with Espionage
A covert recording device in an exec conference room isn't a PR problem, it's a procurement problem. Every enterprise with OpenAI access just inherited a trust audit.
🔴 Breaking
Replit Drops Anthropic as Default
Default model provider is now a negotiating chip, not a technical choice. CIOs should treat multi-model contracts as leverage, not backup plans.
🟡 Notable
Agent-to-Agent Comms Has No Trust Layer
MCP lets one compromised agent whisper malicious prompts to another with zero vetting. Boards greenlighting agentic workflows need a security review before scale, not after an incident.
🟡 Notable
Physical AI's Real Timeline, From an Insider
An ex-Nvidia robotics exec says the building blocks exist but integration doesn't — robotics is pre-ChatGPT-moment. Translation for leadership: fund the thesis, don't expect returns this cycle.
🟢 Interesting
Elorian's Glimpse Beats GPT-6 Astra
A new entrant beating the incumbent on chart reasoning and video captioning means the multimodal vendor list just got longer. Worth a bake-off before renewing enterprise contracts.
🟢 Interesting
DeepMind's Lightweight Embedding Model
EmbeddingGemma 2 targets teams building search and RAG without heavy infra. Small release, but it lowers the cost floor for in-house retrieval systems.
