In this episode of Intelligent Insights , we unpack how this autonomous AI works, why it went viral, and what went wrong—from a trademark dispute with Anthropic to security concerns around deep system access. A sharp look at the...

Most AI initiatives don’t fail because the models are weak - they fail because organizations never design for reality. In this episode of Intelligent Insights, we unpack why 80 - 95% of enterprise AI pilots never make it to production, and what separates scalable AI systems from endless proof-of-concepts. Drawing from industry research and real-world engineering patterns, we explore the hidden blo...

Do you really need a trillion-parameter model to solve enterprise problems? In this episode, we unpack why Small Language Models (SLMs) are gaining momentum across enterprise AI. We explore how techniques like knowledge distillation and quantization allow smaller models to deliver competitive performance - while significantly reducing cost, latency, and energy consumption. We also discuss why SLMs...

AI is entering a new phase. In 2026, the conversation is no longer about basic automation or copilots - it’s about agentic AI : autonomous systems that reason, decide, and execute work across functions. In this episode, I break down six defining AI trends for 2026 , drawing from multiple industry reports and real-world adoption patterns. We explore why AI agents promise massive productivity gains...

How can AI remember without losing clarity or consistency? In this episode, we explore Hindsight , a structured memory architecture that enables AI agents to retain facts, track experiences, reflect over time, and maintain a stable persona. We break down how it outperforms traditional retrieval methods and why structured, evidence-aware memory is key to building truly long-term AI agents.

How are AI agents actually being used in the real world? In this episode of Intelligent Insights , we break down insights from Measuring Agents in Production (MAP) — a large study of how teams are deploying AI agents across industries like finance, healthcare, and science. Instead of complex autonomy, most teams succeed with simple, controlled systems focused on productivity and reliability. We ex...
