Will Jones

Update! After 7 years as cofounder and CTO, I have decided to close my chapter at Sano. What began as a sidequest with Patrick Short and Charlotte Guzzo during our PhDs has grown into something I had only dreamed of, and it has been a rollercoaster. We now proudly support research programs at four of the world’s top-twenty global pharma companies and a full roster of late-stage biotech companies rolling out some incredible new therapies. Here's to sidequesting! I am proud of the whole team at @sanogenetics, who continue the mission to accelerate the world’s transition to personalised medicines. There have been plenty of highs, many lows, lots of wins, and lots of learnings. It has been a difficult decision to step away, but I know it’s the right move and that the team is well-positioned for future success. I will continue at Sano as an advisor, and I plan to cast a wide net and explore before committing to a new chapter. If you’re in Cambridge or London, let’s grab lunch! For the time being, you’ll find me: - Exploring new technology and sharing what I learn on here, and writing longer form pieces at willgdjones.com - Attending as many London hackathons as I can - Vibe coding video games with my two young boys - Taking on some (very!) exciting fixed-term AI consulting work Looking forward to what 2026 brings 🚀

That’s the question! Pretty sure I’d spend another £200/m if it had: - All my insurance renewals/claims sorted - Amazing birthday gifts automatically sent to friends / loved ones - Tax returns sorted + all accountancy related tasks - Grant applications proactively sourced and drafted etc…

@willgdjones @aiDotEngineer great recap! It was nice meeting you at the conference. I feel your pain regarding building an agent to handle ALL the admin stuff without you asking. How many tokens you willing to spend on this bad boy?

Great to spend a few action-packed days with likely the collection of the most AGI-pilled people in the world at @aiDotEngineer London. Some reflections:

@jacksbridger @Ed_Forson @aiDotEngineer “No idea what you’re talking about officer, my agent packs my bags these days”

@willgdjones @Ed_Forson @aiDotEngineer I swear officer, they're not mine, they're my agents

@tokengobbler @ConnorAds @TomasMann1878 @swyx @samuelcolvin @mitsuhiko @mattzcarey @threepointone @Cloudflare And to be honest, that session jamming about the future of what a visual interface could look like to signal moments of interruptability for voice AI really got the wheels turning in my brain @isnit0 - would be very keen to build around this

@tokengobbler @ConnorAds @TomasMann1878 @swyx @samuelcolvin @mitsuhiko Also fun to chat with @mattzcarey and @threepointone from @Cloudflare - definitely feels like some good things cooking in the oven over there

@samuelcolvin @swyx @badlogicgames @aiDotEngineer Also loved that talk! Motivated a lot of my reflections from the conference. Good to see you briefly!

This talk by @badlogicgames at @aiDotEngineer is one of the best AI talks I've ever watched. And (at least for me) it's heartening, taste and skill and common sense still matter! youtube.com/live/_zdroS0Hc…

@Ed_Forson @aiDotEngineer Maybe it will figure out a new recipe!

@Ed_Forson @aiDotEngineer Can you ask your agent to send me some to my address plz? Thx

@Ed_Forson @aiDotEngineer Take your daily AGI-pills! Gutted I missed out on those 😭

@willgdjones @aiDotEngineer Great recap 👍🏿 I realised during the conference that I wasn't AGI-pilled enough ha! I'm working on this.

It makes it hard to think about building applications at all. Maybe just give Claude Code the API keys and let it do it? Full write-up: willgdjones.github.io

I still need an accountant for tax strategy, compliance advice, and year-end submissions. But the bookkeeping? The receipt matching? The bank reconciliation? That's agent work now.

Agent Will: I let an AI agent do my company accounts. Here's what happened. A thread.
