In this episode of Zero to CEO, I speak with Harvard serial founder Shirish Nimgaonkar about how his company, eBlissAI, is leading a new era of agentic AI through self-healing, autonomous systems. Shirish explains why today's enterprise IT systems are falling short and how eBlissAI's platform is transforming endpoint management by combining real-time analytics, predictive insights, and intelligent automation. We discuss how businesses can drastically reduce operational costs, improve user productivity, and gain a superior ROI by adopting AI that not only reacts but predicts and personalizes. With enterprise tech at a tipping point, this episode explores why now is the critical moment to embrace truly autonomous solutions.

Episode 50 | AI Agents in ActionThe Big Themes:The Rise of 'Agent Ratios': As companies roll out more AI agents, the "agent-to-human ratio" could become a useful AI maturity indicator. Currently, we're seeing early adoption — with Oracle reporting that only 5–10% of its customers have put agents into production. These early use cases focus on low-risk, easily-automated tasks. It's a cautious start, but the trajectory is upward. Bonnie points out that once the groundwork is laid, the pace of adoption will likely accelerate, yielding increased productivity.Four Smart Questions for Evaluating Enterprise AI Initiatives: To help customers decide whether to adopt AI capabilities, Bonnie offers four key questions: (1) Is it available to me? Not all customers have access to AI features; infrastructure matters. (2) Do I need or want it? Weigh the risk-reward tradeoff, especially in terms of time and internal resources. (3) Is my data protected? Ensure your vendor offers strong governance and compliance support. (4) What is the time to value?Knowing When to Leap and When to Wait on AI Adoption: Should companies wait or dive into AI now? Her advice: it depends. If your organization is in a fast-moving, innovation-driven sector, early adoption is essential to stay competitive. Waiting could mean falling behind. But for highly regulated industries or companies unused to rapid tech change, a cautious approach makes sense.

Another Trump presidency could bring significant implications for enterprise tech, particularly through a focus on deregulation, increased M&A, and expanded Big Tech investments. this also extends to advancements in military technology, Israel's influence on cybersecurity, the impact of initiatives like StarLink and rural broadband on connectivity, nuclear energy, AI, the CHIPS Act, and the expanding space industry. Altogether, these insights suggest that a pro-deregulation agenda, aiming to remove ten regulations for each new one introduced, could profoundly shape the future of enterprise technology.

Before diving into today's discussion, tell us a little about your background.Topic 2 - We last talked about Grafana back in 2019 and 2020. Observability continues to be a hot topic, how are you seeing the open-source community and open-source tools evolve in this space?Topic 3 - We always hear about Grafana as a visualization tool. Grafana AND something (Grafana and Prometheus, Grafana and (insert logging/observability tool here). Is that still a fair assessment? Where does Grafana fit in a modern cloud-native observability stack these days?Topic 4 - When you are speaking to folks out there, where does the data visualization story resonate the most in the organization, and does it become at times political and cultural (meaning cultural changes need to happen)? There can be an ROI/Business case to be made; developers integrations that will need to happen, SRE operations changes, etc. How do you get something that likely spans many different parts of the organization on board?Topic 5 - Anytime I think about observability I think in two stages. Identification of the problem and resolution of the problem. Some tools address one or the other, and some attempt to do both. Where does Grafana fit on this continuum?Topic 6 - I have to ask the AI question. How has AI changed or in your opinion will change observability and visualization in the near future?Topic 7 - You've literally written the book on Grafana so this is a softball question. For those who are interested, how would you recommend they get started with GrafanaFEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

Let's start with the why… Why do we need guardrails for LLMs today?Topic 3 - Where and how do you control (maybe validate is a better word) outputs from LLM's today? What are your thoughts on the best way to validate outputs?Topic 4 - Will this workflow work with both closed-source (ChatGPT) and opensource (Llama2) models? Would this process apply to training/fine-tuning or more for inference? Would this potentially replace humans in the loop that we see today or is this completely different?Topic 5 - What are some of the most common early use cases and practical examples? PII detection comes to mind, violation of ethics or laws, off-topic/out of scope, or simply just something the model isn't designed to provide?Topic 6 - What happens if it fails? Does this create a loop scenario to try again?Topic 7 - Let's talk about Guardrails AI specifically. Today you offer an open-source marketplace of Validators in the Guardrails Hub, correct? As we mentioned earlier, almost everyone's implementation and guardrails they want to implement will be different.

Is it within GCP, or is there now a commercial side of Google Brain / Deepmind? Topic 5 - Who is driving AI at Amazon/AWS? How did AWS get into a position where it seems to have so little control over its models? Topic 6 - Where will the control over AI reside (in the technology stack)? Where are the moats? Where are the commodities? Topic 7 - Will the AI “wars” be more chaotic that the Cloud “wars” of the last decade? Will we see war-time CEOs? Will we see more irrational decisions?

We've covered the rise of SaaS here on the show over the years, but we haven't really dug into the operations and analytics side in the past. Why is there a need for SaaS analytics? What problem are we trying to solve?Topic 3 - How does the concept of data visualization come into play when building out SaaS? What are the benefits, and what are we saving? Is this time to value? Service costTopic 4 - How does data locality and regulations in the industry impact this? Take GDPR or CCPA, for example. Are they working as intended?Topic 5 - What are the most common use cases you see with your customers todayTopic 6 - Are there limits or best practices to data exposure in a service?

What problem is it trying to solve?Topic 3 - I would think there is a trade off between time and resources to get to a customer issue vs. the value of that insight. How does an organization weigh the opportunity cost? How do you keep the insights generated from being overwhelmingTopic 4 - Let's move from the concept to practical. Where is the data in most organizations today that will yield results and solve problems? How would you suggest folks get started and what use case are they likely to implement first? Is this data that humans either can't or won't get too because it is an enormous amount or maybe too tedious to pay for?Topic 5 - How does all of this work under the hood? Is this one model or multiple models working in parallel? Is there a framework for the operations and lifecycle managed by an organization?Topic 6 - Let's talk about what it takes to get an LLM into production. The the rise of LLM's and foundational models such as Llama2, there is an interest for organizations to use LLM's, but going from concept to production still has a high barrier to entry. It's easy to download a model, it's much harder to either fine-tune it or set up RAG with a vector database for your specific use case.

Every so often, you get that guest that flips the script of what you thought you could accomplish doing a tech podcast. This week, we were lucky to chat to Lou Maresca of This Week in Enterprise Tech (TWiET) on TWIT.tv.  Lou has been podcasting as long as us, since 2013 and has produced over 500 episodes. If you've ever listened to his show, you know he truly gets into the weeds and his knowledge of the industry shows. We started talking about the talent gap and what we can do to change it. We then went rapid-fire, talking everything from enterprise security to GenAI and even blockchain. He's truly a nerd's nerd as we ended talking Star Wars: Ahsoka and Episodes 7–9.  I highly suggest subscribing to his show if you are in or around the industry. With that said, we hope you enjoy this podcast!
