Jonny Cosgrove
Hi, I'm Jonny. I'm passionate about making AI work for everyone, especially folks with AuADHD brains like mine. Currently COO at Cleft AI, where we build voice notes that actually help people think.
As an entrepreneur who's built companies from scratch, I've been lucky enough to contribute to Ireland's tech policy and speak at conferences about the dark arts of marketing, compliance, and go-to-market strategy. These days I'm deep into GDPR, the EU AI Act, and making sure technology respects the humans who use it. I see myself as a context engineer - helping tech make sense in the real world. Always up for a coffee and a chat about privacy, AI, or why accessibility matters.
What I'm up to
- Building privacy-first AI at Cleft
- Cleft Notes - Voice memos that organize themselves
- Amber - Agentic writing without the interruptions
- Helping startups and SMEs navigate GDPR without losing their minds
