In this compelling episode of AI Language Lab, Yugen welcomes Roy Vella - CEO of Next CoLabs and a veteran at the intersection of deep tech, business, and innovation - for a no-fluff conversation about what AI really is, how it’s misunderstood, and where it’s taking us next.
From his early days in fintech to building tools that analyze meetings in real-time, Roy shares his sharp insights into large language models (LLMs), prompt design, and the biggest myths around AI today. He dives into the power of storytelling, the emerging world of personal AI agents, and why treating AI like a human (yes, saying “please”) might just get you better results.
💡 In this episode:
Why LLMs are misunderstood - and what they actually do best
How AI is more about augmentation than automation
The rise of meeting intelligence tools and the future of hybrid work
Why context beats content when prompting LLMs
What “Joe,” Roy’s future personal AI agent, might be able to do soon
Biological drives vs. machine intelligence - do smart machines need desires?
The power of exponential tech and the limits of human intuition
How to iterate, experiment, and really use AI to your advantage
Whether you're an AI beginner, tech leader, or lifelong learner - this episode will shift the way you think about LLMs, intelligence, and the future of human–machine collaboration.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
