Founder biography

Lucas Cairns is the founder of Briu and co-founder of a separate AI software business. His work spans business discovery, engineering and ongoing operations.

Before starting Briu, Lucas spent two years building an AI chatbot product for real websites. That work exposed the practical reliability problems behind applied AI: different customer data, hidden exceptions, stale information, permissions and production systems that can look healthy while returning the wrong answer.

Briu publishes lessons from its own operating work through Field Notes. Read more about the company and its founder.
