In each episode, we dive deep into how teams spotted a customer problem, experimented with AI, prototyped solutions, and shipped real features. We dig into everything from workflows and agents to RAG and evaluation strategies, and explore how their products keep evolving. If you’re building with AI, these are the stories for you.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T18:17:48.296419+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/just-now-possible-7481489"},"episode":{"title":"Building a Career Co-pilot for Disadvantaged Students: How Zero Gravity Bridges Knowing and Doing","slug":"building-a-career-co-pilot-for-disadvantaged-students-how-zero-gravity-bridges-knowing-and-doing","published_at":"2026-01-08T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/just-now-possible-7481489/building-a-career-co-pilot-for-disadvantaged-students-how-zero-gravity-bridges-knowing-and-doing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/just-now-possible-7481489","url":"https://justnowpossible.podigee.io/15-building-a-career-co-pilot-at-zero-gravity","audio_url":"https://audio.podigee-cdn.net/2287519-m-979e8aa33b4d3b3ac1043a95d076e5e7.mp3?source=feed","summary":"How do you help disadvantaged students take action on opportunities they don't even know exist? In this episode of _Just Now Possible_, Teresa Torres talks with Elliot Little (Product Manager) and Dan St. Paul (Software Engineer) from Zero Gravity, a UK-based platform that helps state school students access elite career opportunities through mentoring, community, and learning pathways. They've built an AI career co-pilot that acts as an orchestrator—not an automation tool—bridging the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. You'll hear how they: - Started with grand visions of AI mentors and synthetic avatars, then scaled back to something simpler and more effective - Discovered that hiding the \"LLM magic\" backfired—students needed to feel the personalization - Built context management strategies to handle multi-month student journeys without blowing up token counts - Approached safeguarding as a first-class concern when building AI for 16-year-olds - Used application logic rather than complex RAG architectures to manage tool availability and context freshness It's a practical look at building AI products that augment human relationships rather than replace them—from a team navigating the unique challenges of educational technology.","meta_description":"How do you help disadvantaged students take action on opportunities they don't even know exist?
