A new System for Autonomy?

In this episode, I sit down with Nathan Gruber, co-founder and CEO of Manex AI, to explore how autonomy is reshaping the way leading organizations operate. We dig deep into the challenges of legacy manufacturing models, the rise of agent-based AI systems, and why speed and feedback loops are the new competitive edge. Nathan shares his firsthand experience at BMW, the genesis of Manex AI, and how their solutions are closing the gap between customer feedback and engineering action—faster than ever before. We also discuss what true autonomy means for the future of work, the evolving role of humans alongside AI agents, and how European industry can adapt to this seismic shift. If you’re curious about the intersection of software, hardware, and organizational change—or just want a glimpse of the autonomous enterprise in action—this conversation is not to be missed.
