Building a Company Brain: AI for Modern Leaders
Most AI in a business stalls in the same place. The tools are capable, but they know nothing about how your company actually works, so what comes back is generic, and nobody uses it more than once. Everything that makes your business yours sits in people's heads, old email threads, and files nobody can find. That was survivable before. It's now the thing that decides whether AI does anything useful for you at all.
What you'll get from this session
A company brain is your business's knowledge, the things currently living in people's heads and old email threads written down in a form AI can actually work from. Get it right, and the business leans on you less; a small team starts covering ground that used to take a bigger one.
Two hours on what a company brain looks like, why it matters more than which tool you pick, and how to start building yours. You'll leave having made a start.
About your host
Rory Otterburn is the founder of Rabbit AI, a London-based AI studio built specifically for owner-run UK businesses. Rather than selling tools, Rabbit AI starts from a company's commercial strategy and builds the systems underneath it, so that growth doesn't mean growing the wage bill.
Their results speak for themselves:
- Dentsu: 40% faster content delivery through automation embedded in global creative pipelines
- Unidays: a 90% user return rate, built on a retention framework the product team now owns outright
- Three Peaks Health: clinician pre-analysis time cut by 50–70%, turning fragmented patient data into a queryable asset
- Baobab Network: a proprietary AI platform screening 40,000+ investment applications, cutting the cost per decision by over 90%
- Kognipraxis: a 22-clinician medical group seeing 28% more patients with the same team, after replacing five disconnected systems with one
This isn't theoretical. It's what happens when AI is pointed at the handful of processes that actually move a business, rather than spread thin across everyone.
