Building an AI Business, with SwingVision CEO Swupnil Sahai

Think of this as an "AI case study" -- a way to make the abstractness of AI concrete by going deep on a hyper-specific example.Swupnil Sahai is a former Tesla engineer. He worked directly with Elon Musk on the AI that powers self-driving cars.He then created "Swingvision," an AI-powered tennis app, which recently won Apple's prestigious Design Award. (Other winners include heavyhitters like Headspace and Duolingo.)The app records your tennis match. It then lets you analyze the results, review your form, and even challenge line calls in real-time. It's now being used by 100+ division 1 college tennis programs.All of this is powered by AI. So I spoke with Sahai about how the AI works (7:00), what he learned about AI from Tesla and Musk (11:45), how neural networks come into play (15:30), how they built their data model (19:40), what AI is good at and what it's surprisingly bad at (23:30), and his advice for AI founders and entrepreneurs (36:00).SwingVision:https://swing.tennisSwingVision wins Apple Design Award:https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/06/apple-reveals-its-2023-apple-design-award-winners/#:~:text=Image%20Credits%3A%20SwingVision,of%20strategy%20to%20the%20game.Stay Connected:• 🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://x.com/jeffwilser• 💼 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffwilser/• 🖥️ JeffWilser.comwww.JeffWilser.com🎧 Subscribe to AI-Curious:• Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-curious-with-jeff-wilser/id1703130308• Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/70a9Xbhu5XQ47YOgVTE44Q?si=c31e2c02d8b64f1b• YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@jeffwilser
