The Inference Podcast

Where AI founders tell the truth about building.

Founder to founder. Not a PR or marketing service.

About

What this show is.

The Inference Podcast is a long-form founder-journey show. The show is focused on founders building AI systems, vertical software, and deep-tech products inside established industries. Not the hype. The actual work. Each episode is a single, uninterrupted conversation filmed in person at a Birmingham studio. No panels. No Zoom calls. No remote recordings.

Guests are selected for their story, not their follower count. The show is interested in the non-obvious origin, the moment everything broke, the decision that looked wrong at the time. Technical founders, operators-turned-builders, and people who took a contrarian bet and saw it through.

The show is hosted by Mian Khubaib Jim, founder of Codedevza AI, which builds AI and digital transformation systems for commercial real estate. The Inference Podcast is his way of putting the real building process on record.

Sector focus: AI infrastructure, SaaS, fintech, legaltech, proptech, defence tech, climate AI, and adjacent deep-tech. If your company solves a specific problem in a specific industry, and you have a story worth telling, this show is for you.

The Host

Mian Khubaib Jim

Founder, Codedevza AI · London

Mian builds vertical AI systems through Codedevza AI across commercial real estate, autonomous vehicles, logistics, and cybersecurity. Every engagement is the same pattern: find the operational bottleneck, build the exact software to fix it.

He started The Inference Podcast to create a public record of the founders doing the same across other verticals. The conversations are long, specific, and unscripted.

  • You are comfortable speaking honestly, on the record, for one to two hours.
