Convergence across four domains
AI interviewer, VibeVoice, AWS competency, and succession planning
Interesting links that might converge one day, soon.
- AI can interview you about your use of AI: Anthropic did a thing y’all
- Microsoft VibeVoice: Microsoft’s open-source text-to-speech (TTS) of multi-speaker audio and that makes me wonder what the new generation of remix punk community will do with this
- Agentic AI categories for AWS AI Competency: Expecting to see some stratification among AWS Partners (currently dozens)
- I interpret this as succession planning in the open or the intentional telegraphing of active succession planning in the open.
So, imagine, one day in the not too distant future when a there are easily sourced succession planning interview outcomes at the C-level that are conducted by an Agentic AI interviewer using a human-like voice that is well outside of the uncanny valley… all of which are underpinned by AWS managed services.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
