Shut Up and Play the Hits - Capto Weekly #19

We’ve been listening to the music ourselves. The same ol’ tune that sounds something like; “You wrote about that? Show me.”… “You all post to much to keep track.”… “I’m not on LinkedIn a lot.”… “Where can I find it all in one place?”… “I just want to read about use cases.”...

We match our fans’ frustration as a band who works really hard to deliver plenty of “hits” about AI and automation.

Well we think a step in the right direction is here. Our work sharing articles on Substack is accelerating. Not only in the future, but looking back as our profile continues to be populated with our own sort of “Greatest Hits“ off LinkedIn, YouTube, and other properties. There's already over 100 posts!!!

Our “biggest listeners” tell us it is easier to access older (but still relevant) posts, take in the serious volumes that we’ve created in the past few months, and sort through what’s of most interest.

Also music to our ears, an exciting byproduct is that this is expertly synced with our website for a proper “blog roll“ experience. Have you been to our new website yet?!?!

• “God bless Bill Gates, we have Excel, and still for a long time”. Amen, Yordan Nedev and some highlights from our client work.

• The “Agentic Motorbike Tour for CFOs” is coming to a European city near you! We’re adding destinations and “host partners” to a unique summer cruise.

• The true story behind our AI Agents. All it took was some red-wine and close friends to get the ideas flowing, literally.

• “I’ve made a huge mistake” - CFO who built their own AI & Automation. Look at what people are saying to us when they come back our way for help.

• Results on Monday, a full process overview on Wednesday. That’s how part of our content calendar looked as we reviewed the ROI first and then the use-case details.

• 3 CFO news headlines to make you feel good! An end of week recap of what we read, posted, and learned.

• Honored to be included, a sign that things are moving as well. Catch us as a part of taxtech500’s Top 200 Startups in Tax Technology 2026.

• “I find the goal interesting - the actual achievement of it will prove to be harder than most expect.” - Ian Barkin. Together let’s take a step back from the buzz around Anthropic (and OpenAI) entering the services game. Ian, a world-renowned expert in AI & Automation (btw), shares his thoughts focusing on PE optimization. Stay tuned as the Capto team unpacks this in future posts as well...
