In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Merrill Lutsky, cofounder and CEO of Graphite — a company using artificial intelligence to transform how engineers write, review, and ship code.

What started as an internal tool to streamline software deployment has grown into something larger: a vision for how AI can augment, not replace, the craft of engineering — and reshape how teams collaborate at scale.

Merrill walks us through Graphite’s early pivots, the development of its AI reviewer Diamond, and how the company is rethinking the bottleneck that stands between building and shipping code.

We also go beyond the product to explore deeper questions:
Will coding become fully automated?
How do we balance speed and safety in an era of AI-written software?
And what does craftsmanship mean when machines start to create?

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Patrick Leung, CTO of Faro Health — a startup using artificial intelligence to streamline and reimagine clinical trials. What began as a push to speed up drug development turned into something bigger: a mission to reduce suffering, elevate consciousness, and reshape how we think about AI’s role in health and society.

Patrick walks us through the challenges of clinical trial design, the limits of large language models, and how thoughtful AI implementation could unlock faster, safer, and more inclusive access to medicine.

We also go beyond tech to explore deep questions: Is AI truly intelligent? How do we balance speed and safety? And are we building tools — or something closer to gods?

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Russ d'Sa, founder and CEO of LiveKit — the open-source infrastructure powering voice mode for OpenAI, Character.AI, and a fast-emerging voice-first internet.

Russ walks us through how a pandemic side project evolved into the nervous system for the next generation of AI-powered voice applications. But this episode goes far beyond infrastructure. We dive into big, human questions: What does it mean to interact naturally with AI? Are we moving back toward voice as the dominant interface? How will AI reshape work, leisure, and even our sense of identity?

From the democratization of high-tech tools to the societal shifts driven by intelligent systems, this is a wide-ranging and deeply thoughtful conversation on what comes next in the age of synthetic intelligence.
