Trade events and conferences are packed with fresh perspectives, meaningful conversations, and ideas. But with so much happening at once, the experience can quickly become overwhelming … making it easy to miss in-person connections and creative opportunities.
An internal payment agent used by five employees may need more orchestration than a customer-facing assistant serving 50,000 users that only drafts responses for human review. The payment agent can move money before anyone intervenes. The drafting assistant remains behind a human checkpoint. That contrast exposes the problem with treating orchestration as a late-stage requirement...

A recent Phocas survey found that half of the distribution respondents are testing general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude on their own, outside of any business system. That's a reasonable thing to do but it is also where generic AI gets the numbers wrong for distributors in ways that are hard to know, because the answer looks exactly like a right one. It is important to know...
Claude now marks AI-generated content. But it does not mark everything the same way. Anthropic currently uses embedded watermarks for text and signed C2PA provenance metadata for supported files. Code sits somewhere in between: it is still text, but its structure gives the watermark fewer places to work. I went into detail about Claude’s watermarks […]

Enterprise leaders face a growing gap between AI ambition and the fragmented data, legacy systems, and cultural friction that prevent pilots from becoming scalable value.
In this episode, Julian Tang, Chief Operations Officer for the Innovation Office at BlackRock, examines how unified data foundations, modernized infrastructure, and transparent governance enable organizations to...
Standing up an agent as a production service on Kubernetes means five YAML files, a few hundred lines between them, and (in most enterprises) a ticket in someone else’s queue. On the Workload API it means one spec file, one command, and about five minutes to a live URL. No manifests, no kubectl, no namespace,...

Most AI pilots never get cancelled. They demo well in the spring, pick up a second round of scope over the summer, and by autumn the two people who built the thing have been pulled onto something with a firmer deadline, without anyone writing the word “failed” anywhere. The question of why AI pilots fail […]
Ever wondered how ChatGPT, Gemini, and other chat interfaces generate PDFs, PowerPoints, and more when all they have under the hood is an LLM? The trick isn’t a smarter model. It’s something simpler: skills which are instructions an agent loads only when needed. Next, let’s explore how skills work using LangChain and how they can make […]

When Xander first met Moxie, she taught him that when he was anxious, he could calm down by exhaling through his lips so that he buzzed like a bee. They practiced breathing like dragons to manage feeling mad and sniffing like bunnies to boost his energy. But in the six years they’ve known each other,…
