This episode is brought to you by [https://www.ElevateOS.com](https://www.elevateos.com/) —the only all-in-one community operating system.It's Friday evening in Atlanta, and Mike Brewer's got something big on his mind before braving that infamous ATL traffic.Here's the message: Agentic websites are no longer a futuristic idea—they're a present necessity.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike unpacks a concept that's quickly becoming a must-know for multifamily marketers, property operators, and digital strategists: the Agentic Web.This isn't about redesigning your site just for humans anymore. It's about building web experiences that speak to machines—intelligent agents—designed to serve consumers on their behalf.Think:→ A resident's digital assistant looking for an apartment that fits their lifestyle→ An enterprise AI scanning your site for up-to-date unit availability, pet policies, or amenity details→ Machine-to-machine conversations happening behind the scenes—and your website being the silent, powerful interface that drives it allAs Mike puts it: The future isn't a person landing on your homepage. It's a machine gathering your info to serve a person before they even ask.If you're in marketing, brand, web strategy, or PropTech, this is your call to action.Start designing with the agent in mind—or risk being invisible in the next evolution of consumer behavior.Like what you heard?

Ashu Garg has backed companies like Databricks, Turing, Cohesity, Jasper, and Eightfold.ai as General Partner at Foundation Capital. Over the years, he's seen multiple waves of innovation but in his words, nothing in the last 45 years comes close to the transformation AI is bringing right now.Ashu discusses how the next wave of AI products will be driven by combining reasoning with reinforcement learning, and cautions every startup building on top of foundation models: that their vendors will also be their competitors.He also talks about how agents are moving from simple copilots to autonomous workers, how the internet itself will have to be reinvented for an agentic world, and what happens when your agent can not only draft emails but also buy plane tickets or make payments on your behalf.We also get into the realities of building AI companies today: why your competitor isn't GPT-5 but GPT-7, where startups can actually outcompete big tech, whether geography still matters, and how relationships and access still shape outcomes in an age that feels completely digital.This is one of the most insightful conversations you'll hear on what it takes to build durable AI companies in this era and where the next generation of billion-dollar startups will come from.0:00- Trailer0:42 – Foundation models as biggest competitor of AI startups4:19 – Agents are visible; reasoning is underneath6:20 – The leap of AI from autonomous to automation9:27 – Why the internet must be reinvented for AI10:49 – What if agents act (and do payments) on your behalf? 13:06 – Is Ashu using agents for himself?13:54 – No tech shift in 45 years compares to today15:38 – Who is accountable for what your agent does?17:57 – Who has advantage: first-time or repeat founders?19:27 – Does geography matter for founders anymore?21:19 – Whose AI will become the user's default?25:44 – Where do startups have an edge in AI?28:25 – How can startups outdo their model providers31:21 – Does distribution still matter in the Agentic era?33:29 – Why experience and access will always matter35:36 – Startups today must compete with GPT-7, not GPT-537:09 – Why Dollars on talent poaching in AI makes sense42:20 – Are only 1,000 people at AI's cutting edge?43:32 – What does Ashu garg look for in a founder?45:15 – How to build more billion-dollar companies?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Steve Brown's house burned down in a wildfire—and accidentally saved his life. When doctors missed his aggressive blood cancer for over a year, Steve built a swarm of AI agents that diagnosed it in minutes and helped design his treatment. Now he's turning that breakthrough into CureWise, a precision oncology platform helping cancer patients become better advocates. We explore agentic medicine, AI safety in healthcare, and how swarms of specialized AI agents are changing cancer care from diagnosis to treatment selection.

Hospitals are juggling shrinking margins and rising costs while denial volumes remain stubbornly high. In the revenue cycle alone, hundreds of billions are lost annually to preventable errors and inefficiencies—in fact, Access Healthcare CEO Shaji Ravi cites more than $250 billion wasted each year. Meanwhile, payers have accelerated their use of AI to adjudicate and deny claims. Against this backdrop, a practical question has turned urgent: can health systems modernize fast enough without derailing day-to-day cash flow?What would it take to deploy AI across the revenue cycle without a painful rip-and-replace—and actually cut operating costs by half?On this episode of Highway to Health, host David Kemp talks with Shaji Ravi, the CEO of Access Healthcare, which is now part of Smarter Technologies (alongside SmarterDX and Thoughtful AI). They unpack a blueprint for “transformation without disruption,” covering front-end CDI and coding, mid-cycle automation, and back-end denials/AR—plus the governance needed to keep AI reliable and compliant.Key highlights from the episode...Front-end first: Fix documentation and coding upstream (SmarterDX) to reduce downstream rework; 60% of claims pay cleanly, but the persistent 40% problem starts before submission.Agentic AI with humans-in-the-loop: Move beyond RPA's static rules to self-learning “knowledge streams” that spot root causes, propagate fixes across thousands of claims, and are audited by governance teams—no “rogue bots.”Zero-disruption rollout, real ROI: Wrap modular AI around existing EHRs, require “near-zero” IT lift, and phase savings: ~50% people reduction in the first months as agents take on denial management, coding assists, posting, and AR follow-up.Shaji Ravi has spent nearly 30 years in the U.S. healthcare revenue cycle, beginning in the mid-1990s and ultimately co-founding and scaling Access Healthcare to 27,000+ specialists across the U.S., India, and the Philippines. Now the CEO of Access Healthcare within Smarter Technologies, he's leading the integration of service delivery (Access Healthcare), clinical/front-end intelligence (SmarterDX), and agentic automation (Thoughtful AI) to help providers cut costs and improve collections—without changing core systems.

In the Pit with Cody Schneider | Marketing | Growth | Startups
Today we break down why “influencer marketing” (renting audience) is losing to creator-based marketing (renting skill at making viral content) — and how to run it like a system. Guest Robert Lukoszko, founder of Stormy AI, shows how their agent finds creators, pulls contacts, sends DMs/emails, follows up, and even negotiates packages before you step in. We get tactical on budgets, pricing, UGC hiring, TikTok vs YouTube strategy, measurement, and building a compounding “surface-area” of content across the web. Brought to you by Graphed.com — connect your data, ask in plain English, ship shareable dashboards.GuestWebsite: stormy.ai Robert Lukoszko — LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karmedge X (Twitter): @Karmedge What you'll learnCreator vs Influencer marketing: Why FYP-driven platforms reward great content over big followings — and how to “rent” creators' skill instead of their audience.The scalable workflow: Brief → research → outreach (DM/email) → qualify → negotiate packages → handoff to human for final approval.TikTok UGC machine: Hire 1–3 full-time UGC creators posting 2–3 shorts per day; test cheaply, then double down on breakout templates.YouTube packages that work: Three-video bundles over ~6 weeks build trust & lift; use retainers for your top performers.Negotiation scripts that convert: Lead with “Paid collaboration” in subject/first line, anchor on value, and offer volume/retainer discounts.Pricing reality check: Typical UGC test pieces land in the ~$20–$100/video range (many sweet-spot wins at $20–$50) for micro/nano creators; salaried UGC in EU markets often $1–2k/mo part-time depending on output and quality.Compounding effects: Viral videos spawn follower videos; repeated sightings increase creator reply-rates and lower CPAs.Agents as team members: Why modern stacks look like small pods of engineers orchestrating many narrow agents (research, outreach, follow-ups, CRM status, stop-conditions).Chapters & Timestamps00:00:00 — Cold open: “Stop influencer marketing.

Marketers' roles are changing, but their goals are still the same: reach and engage customers, meeting them where they are, and for better or worse, often needing to do more with less while delivering greater value. Agility requires both adapting to change quickly while also having the wisdom to know which changes truly matter. It demands a delicate balance between embracing new technologies and staying laser-focused on core business objectives. Today, we are here in New York City at Opticon25. We are going to talk about the growing role of AI for both marketers and consumers, how organizations can leverage an agentic platform to create better internal and external customer experiences, and how marketers can both do more with less while delivering exponentially greater value. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Rupali Jain, Chief Product Officer and Kevin Li, SVP Product at Optimizely. About Rupali JainRupali Jain is the Chief Product Officer at Optimizely.

In this episode of Beyond Markets, we take a closer look at agentic AI, which is no longer just a concept. AI agents are actively reshaping how tasks get done, decisions are made, and content is created. These autonomous systems mark a shift from passive AI models to active agents that can reason, act, and self-improve. We are joined by Manuel Villegas from Julius Baer's Next Generation Research team to answer these questions and much more. Hosted by Emily Rookwood, Head of Thought Leadership at Julius Baer.
Technovation with Peter High (CIO, CTO, CDO, CXO Interviews)
2: What if every human had an army of agents working for them? Aaref Hilaly, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures and veteran investor in AI-native startups, joins Peter High to discuss the transformative potential of agentic AI, the mindset he looks for in founders, and how legal, healthcare, and education sectors are poised for disruption. Key highlights from the conversation: How AI is reshaping venture investment strategy The role of agents in redefining work and productivity Why legal and healthcare are prime for automation Lessons from Hilaly's time as a founder Emerging trends like vibe coding and invisible apps
In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down how Microsoft is redefining the agentic AI landscape with Copilot Studio Lite and Full Experience, offering tailored tools for both low-code creators and enterprise-grade developers.Highlights00:03 — Microsoft has announced the launch of Copilot Studio Lite and Copilot Studio Full Experience, two versions of Copilot that, in the words of Principal Solution Architect Rémi Dyon, "empower everyone from information workers to developers to build intelligent agents tailored to their needs."00:23 — Microsoft Copilot Studio is a low-code platform that enables users to build and customize AI agents to operate across Microsoft 365 and LOB (line-of-business) systems. Now, Copilot Studio provides two ways to operate: a Lite experience (formerly Agent Builder), which is integrated directly into the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, or a Full Experience, as a standalone web portal.01:17 — When choosing which option is right for you, Microsoft suggests acknowledging four key criteria: audience, deployment, scope, functionality, and governance needs. Dyon describes the changes as a "clarity upgrade," which is significant.01:34 — The AI Wars have evolved into the Agentic AI Wars. One defining trend is the emphasis on clarity. This clarity applies to how tools are operated, the range of users who can access them, and marketing strategies. A simple name change like this may not seem like a huge leap, but Microsoft is defining a category focused on agent development rather than just agent deployment. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Colby Ward of Amazon Web Services talks about leveraging agentic AI for competitive advantage; navigating change management; data; & eliminating spreadsheets. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [04.04] An introduction to Colby, his background, and role at Amazon Web Services. [06.58] An overview of AWS – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. “Everybody knows the expression: ‘Garbage in, garbage out!' But no one seems to focus on that area enough. They seem to say: “Well, here's our solution, whatever your data is, we'll take it.” And nobody focuses on: “How can I connect your data in an easier way?” “Our goal is to eventually eliminate the spreadsheet on every supply chainers desktop!” [10.30] Where enterprise technology has focused over the last couple of decades, the positives and negatives, and how we've got to where we are today. [14.17] The problem with generic SaaS systems in supply chain, and how agentic AI can deliver improved orchestration and eliminate bias. “SaaS systems are designed to fit any customer need, not your specific needs…. It has to be built in a generic way, so they offer configurable options, different APIs, but you're molding a generic system. And the problem is: supply chain problems aren't generic. They're specific. When you translate the word supply chain, what you're really saying is business operations. So that's a big topic!” “Not conjecture, not just leaving it up to somebody's best instinct… When you're operating on data-driven decisions, you don't have to second guess.” [22.27] How businesses can tackle outdated processes and deal with dirty data to leverage agentic AI in the most effective ways. “People say that data is the new oil, and that's true. But, like oil, if it's unrefined, it's useless.” [29.17] Leveraging agentic AI for competitive advantage, and why businesses should be thinking about creating the most amount of outputs from the least amount of inputs. “Enterprise A that doesn't use AI will eventually be the lumber yard that never bothered with a chainsaw. There's a reason we moved from axes to chainsaws, and AI is your chainsaw!” [35.21] Whether or not agentic AI will level the playing field. [37.34] An overview of ontologies, process and knowledge graphs, and how they can guide agents to achieve next-level intelligence. [42.36] Change management, and how businesses should be thinking about people alongside technology to ensure the best chance of success. “If you visualize this as a tool to help you with your job, you're immediately going to be better off… Make sure you have an AI strategy in place. Don't be dismissive that this is the next new fad. It's not. It's transformative.” [45.00] Are we ready? What organizations should take away from this discussion.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, ServiceNow's push into CRM meets Salesforce's expansion into ITSM (IT Service Management), powered by agentic AI.Highlights00:14 — While I'm focusing here on Salesforce and ServiceNow, and some changes each is making to get into markets dominated by the other, the larger point here is about how agentic AI is triggering new competition and new approaches. Today, I'm going to share about five repercussions with you.01:15 — On Salesforce's Q2 earnings call, Marc Benioff said, “Hey, we're going to get into IT Service Management.” Salesforce is changing from being an apps company to a data company. It just so happens that ServiceNow and CEO Bill McDermott have been making it very plain that they intend to move aggressively into the CRM business, which has been Salesforce's prime area.02:34 — So, I'm going to mention big implications. One, these companies are looking for new hunting grounds — new areas to help customers do more and to allow these vendors to make more money. Agentic AI is also blasting out boundaries, because agentic AI, I think, optimally works on an end-to-end basis.03:36 — Benioff, on the earnings call, said Data Cloud and agentic AI — Agentforce — are "at the heart of our company strategy", not their applications. Which leads into this: I don't think, as Satya Nadella said, “apps are dying,” or “SaaS is dying,” but I do think that agentic AI is going to change profoundly what apps do, how they work, and how customers can extract value from them.04:44 — We are seeing agentic AI knock down a lot of boundaries. You're going to have more wide-ranging tools that let [customers] see all of their data, be able to develop end-to-end processes that are more effective, more successful, and give them better insights — and, mostly, better business outcomes.

We had the privilege of hosting Peter Belcak – an AI Researcher working on the reliability and efficiency of agentic systems at NVIDIA – who walked us through his new paper making the rounds in AI circles titled “Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI.”The paper posits that small language models (SLMs) are sufficiently powerful, inherently more suitable, and necessarily more economical for many invocations in agentic systems, and are therefore the future of agentic AI. The authors' argumentation is grounded in the current level of capabilities exhibited by SLMs, the common architectures of agentic systems, and the economy of LM deployment. The authors further argue that in situations where general-purpose conversational abilities are essential, heterogeneous agentic systems (i.e., agents invoking multiple different models) are the natural choice. They discuss the potential barriers for the adoption of SLMs in agentic systems and outline a general LLM-to-SLM agent conversion algorithm.Learn more about AI observability and evaluation, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on LinkedIn and X.
