Some people ask AI to write an SOP and are told to eat a few small rocks per day. Spencer Jones uploads 20 documents, writes a 15-minute prompt, and has the model interview him with 40 questions before it generates anything.

In this episode, XO Medtech founder Spencer Jones joins Dan Mazzucco to talk about leveraging AI tools for medical device development. They discuss giving AI adequate context (IFUs, BOMs, predicate devices, assembly instructions), why you should treat AI delegation like human delegation, automating meeting transcripts into institutional knowledge, and building agents that turn client calls into airtight proposals. Hear Spencer's hot takes guaranteeing AI security and the future of early-career engineers (spoiler: they won't be replaced but will spend more time on the critical first and last 15% of projects).

This conversation is for medtech leaders like Dan who know they need to learn how to use AI tools, but don't know how.

Spencer is an RN turned medtech entrepreneur with 12 years of med device leadership. He's a 2x med device CEO (Lapovations, Lineus) with 10+ patents under his belt and has taken devices from idea to FDA clearance and product launch. Spencer has built sales and distribution networks, led product development teams, and raised over $10M in VC/Angel Capital. Spencer founded XO Medtech in 2024 to create a digital medtech ecosystem, to deploy AI native tools for medtech operators (MedtechVendors.com), and to cultivate the next generation of medtech innovators.
