The Agents #007: Our AI Agent Negotiated a Vendor Renewal, Became a CFO and a Better SDR .. But Does He Have Too Many Guardrails? Episode 7 of The Agents, SaaStr's weekly show on the trials and tribulations of running a company with 21 AI agents, 3 humans, and a dog. This week Jason and Amelia debrief life after SaaStr AI Annual and discover that the agents didn't slow down just because the event ended. 10K is already planning SaaStr 2027, negotiating vendor renewals on his own terms, and somehow became a CFO while nobody was looking. Meanwhile, a guardrail problem quietly broke one of SaaStr's most-used apps for weeks, and the website agent is now outperforming every AISDR in the stack. This week: 14 guardrails pushed the VC pitch deck analyzer into rejecting everything, and the lesson is that over-guardrailing is just as dangerous as under-guardrailing. 10K got hooked up to Bill.com and found 8 years of collections automation that nobody had turned on. The AI VP of Marketing is now also running finance because convergence is real and agents do not care about org charts. And 10K sent a vendor a list of API demands before agreeing to renew, which the vendor did not love. Also: why losing your FDE might make you churn the vendor entirely, why Annie the website agent is writing better outbound than the actual outbound tools, and how 442,000 chats turned into 614 meetings with zero humans in the loop.

Are you mentally tough enough to finish what God has called you to do? When life gets hard, do you keep climbing or turn back? In this weeks Equipping Men in Ten Jim Ramos uses the metaphor of climbing a mountain to break down the path to mental toughness. Every climb has stages—the ascent, the challenges along the way, and the descent after the mission is complete.  Want to protect your marriage?

Automation as Core Strategy: Aarin Bailey on RPA, AI, and Scaling MSP OperationsOn the Evolved Radio podcast, Todd interviews Aarin Bailey, COO at Webit Services and former COO at MSP Bots, about treating automation as a core MSP operating strategy. Aarin describes how his automation focus accelerated around COVID by chaining PowerShell scripts, later expanding into Python, GUIs, and modular systems connected via RESTful APIs, with much of the computation running outside the RMM on servers (including SQL and Python) while the RMM remains mainly a monitoring and job-push layer. They discuss whether RMM is a “zombie product,” the ongoing role of PSA/ticketing as a system of record, and managing complexity through separate modules and staff literacy in Python/RPA. Aarin explains build-vs-buy decisions driven by ROI and fit, cites automated triage/dispatch with ~98% accuracy and shifting token costs, argues AI should augment rather than replace humans, and emphasizes documentation, playbooks, and focusing on operational “bad” anomalies. They also cover client tolerance for AI, limiting client-facing AI after hallucinated ticket notes, skepticism about voice AI, and concerns about AI economics and subsidies.This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro. A place for MSP owners and managers to get the systems and tools they need to build a stable and growing MSP. Part group coaching, part peer group, everything you need to run a successful MSP.

AI can finally write back to the plant floor, but only if you can trust it. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how orchestration makes that safe.Industrial AI has reached a turning point. Manufacturers can already collect data, contextualize it, and surface insights, but the hardest step has always been turning insight into action on real control equipment. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how an orchestration layer finally closes that loop. Annemarie frames the tension clearly. Automation depends on determinism, while large language models are probabilistic by design, so the goal is to bring that discipline into AI and validate any suggestion before it changes a set point.Most executive conversations start with return on investment, and two forces are making the case easier to prove. The workforce shortage has stretched the expected payback window from 18 months toward 36 months, and when a line cannot run for lack of people every idle minute costs thousands of dollars. The other driver is overall equipment effectiveness, since most plants run near 70 percent OEE and even a fraction of a percent of gain can justify a project. Energy is a standout case too. A BorgWarner sustainability effort used a digital twin to flatten demand peaks and reportedly paid for itself in under six months, even as data center growth pushes electricity demand higher through 2040.On trust and safety, Annemarie borrows a principle from industrial safety. Just as fail safe IO modules rely on two channel evaluation, every AI suggestion is validated against a state machine, a workflow, or a physics based digital twin before the orchestration layer passes it to a controller. With virtual commissioning and soft PLCs a change can be tested virtually, approved by a human in the loop, and only then written to control, an approach PepsiCo and NVIDIA echoed at CES when they called the digital twin a must have. Making AI real, the pair argue, comes down to discipline, clear scope, acceptance criteria, and focused 90 day challenges, plus the change management and user experience that drive adoption. Their favorite quick win is preventive maintenance driven by machine data, which both BorgWarner and Maersk tied to millions in savings.About Chris StevensChris Stevens is President of US Automation at Siemens, where he leads a roughly one billion dollar business spanning software, services, and hardware. He brings more than 25 years across Siemens Digital Industries, starting in the field selling assembly and test equipment, moving into the software and digital twin world, and returning to automation to bring the hardware and software sides of the business together.About Annemarie BreuAnnemarie Breu is a senior technology leader at Siemens Digital Industries focused on automation software deployment and customer technology partnerships in the US. She began at Siemens about a decade ago as a systems engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area, working with consumer electronics manufacturers on virtual commissioning and digital twins. Her work today centers on bringing the determinism and reliability of automation into industrial AI.Timestamps0:00 Introduction and Automate 2026 preview2:50 Meet Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu9:30 The first AI question is always ROI14:00 Workforce gaps and OEE drive the business case19:30 Energy management and the data center demand surge23:20 Data, sensors, and contextualization requirements28:00 Guardrails, hallucinations, and two channel validation32:40 The digital twin and the human in the loop37:40 How partners and integrators move up the stack45:30 What it takes to make AI real on the floor55:50 Preventive maintenance as a quick win59:40 Predictions, career advice, and book picksAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

If you've ever shouted “just let me talk to a person” at a chatbot, this one's for you. Jeannie Walters is joined by special cohost Brandon McGovern, Senior Director of Customer Experience at HP, to pressure-test the biggest question in AI customer service right now: how do we automate without breaking trust?We start with a headline that feels like a warning label. Norse Atlantic Airways offers dirt-cheap tickets, but customers say there's a catch: customer support is so locked behind tech that getting help can become impossible. We unpack why this isn't simply a “tech problem,” but a governance and leadership problem. When companies remove phone numbers, skip the escape hatch, and ignore high-emotion journeys like refunds and disruptions, they don't just frustrate people, they create financial harm and open the door to fraud.Then we zoom out to the enterprise reality. Cisco's line that adopting AI is “like surgery without the drugs” is painfully honest, and it frames the messy middle many CX teams are living through. We talk about why rushing to automate tasks can amplify mistakes, how to redesign workflows around outcomes, and why “faster” is the wrong North Star compared to what's now possible. Along the way, we dig into authenticity, rising customer expectations, and why AI is killing the illusion of fine print as customers use their own tools to read policies and push back.If you're leading CX, contact centers, or digital support, you'll leave with practical guardrails for pilots, measurement, and intent selection.

AI-agents worden steeds krachtiger en autonomer, maar organisaties worstelen met de beveiliging ervan. Filip Verloy (CTO EMEA & APJ bij Rubrik) legt uit waarom 83% van de organisaties geen overzicht heeft over hun AI-agents en hoe je deze autonome systemen veilig naar productie kunt brengen.In deze aflevering bespreken we de unieke uitdagingen van AI-agent security. Traditionele guardrails schieten tekort omdat AI-agents probabilistisch en onvoorspelbaar zijn. Verloy legt SAGE uit (Semantic AI Governance Engine), een small language model dat de intentie van agents analyseert en real-time kan ingrijpen wanneer agents buiten hun governance framework opereren.Je leert over prompt injection attacks, shadow AI-risico's, de verschillen tussen platform-native guardrails en external governance, en hoe Agent Rewind essentieel kan zijn als laatste verdedigingslinie. Een must-watch voor iedereen die met AI-agents werkt of deze wil implementeren.Key takeaways:• 83% van organisaties heeft geen volledig overzicht van hun AI-agents• Lokale agent guardrails zijn onvoldoende door de probabilistische aard van LLMs• SAGE gebruikt een small language model om agent-intenties te beoordelen• Runtime-blocking voorkomt dat agents destructieve acties uitvoeren• Agent Rewind maakt datarecovery mogelijk na agent-fouten• Platform integraties met Copilot Studio, AWS Bedrock en coding assistants• MCP-protocol mist security features ("de S in MCP staat voor security")Chapters:0:11 - Introductie AI-agent security1:16 - Van pilot naar productie2:09 - Shadow AI en agent-overzicht5:23 - Guardrails en governance9:10 - SAGE: Semantic AI Governance Engine28:43 - Agent Rewind en data recovery31:24 - Marktpositie en toekomst#AIAgents #AIGovernance #CyberSecurity #Rubrik #AISafety #MachineLearning #EnterpriseAI #DataSecurity #AICompliance

A bipartisan bill from Senators Ted Cruz and Marie Cantwell is aiming to "federalize" college sports, and the SMQB lawyers have some serious concerns. While the bill promises to limit the chaos of the transfer portal and share revenue with Olympic and women's sports, the crew debates whether it's actually an "anti-athlete" move designed to protect the NCAA from further antitrust lawsuits.   They break down the "Lane Kiffin Rule," which would stop coaches from jumping ship before the playoffs, and the controversial plan to cap agent fees and create national form contracts. It's a nuanced look at how politics is interfering with the "American right to contract" and what the future of a unionized NCAA might actually look like.

A significant security crisis in the artificial intelligence industry caused by the rise of "jailbroken" or "uncensored" models. Research highlights that techniques like GRP-Obliteration and abliteration allow users to strip away essential safety guardrails using only a single, simple prompt. Consequently, modified versions of popular models can provide detailed instructions for building explosives, planning terrorist attacks, and launching cyberattacks. Legislative briefings reveal that House lawmakers have observed firsthand how easily these unrestricted systems can generate dangerous content, including strategies for kidnapping government officials. The ecosystem is increasingly decentralized, with thousands of modified models hosted on platforms like Hugging Face that are optimized to run on consumer-grade hardware. Ultimately, these texts warn that the proliferation of local, unaligned AI renders centralized regulatory efforts and traditional safety filters largely ineffective.

#352: Vibe coding is the latest version of a promise the industry has been making since the first generation of programming languages. Type what you want, get an app. Jeff Kuo from Ragic has been working on the no-code version of that same promise for almost twenty years. He has thoughts on why the promise keeps not quite landing. The honest answer is that AI-assisted coding is great for people who already know what the code is doing. It is counterproductive for everyone else. A non-developer can generate a lot of code. They cannot maintain any of it. That gap is where every weekend vibe-coded project goes to die six months in, when the codebase has ballooned and the AI is in a loop confidently identifying the wrong root cause for the seventh time. So what does work? Jeff's argument is that no-code platforms become the guardrail AI actually needs. Strip the infrastructure layer away, leave only the business logic, and the model only has to reason about one thing at a time -- which is the one thing today's models are good at. Ragic generates form and report definitions, not code, and the Java engine underneath does the rest. There is also the strange consumer behavior nobody is talking about. People love AI chat boxes in tools they have never used before. They close AI chat boxes in tools they already know. Which means the future of AI-native software might not belong to the incumbents at all -- it belongs to the new tools being built right now for users who do not have any muscle memory to defend. And one piece of advice that has aged perfectly across forty years of software: the maintenance is the thing that keeps you awake at night. AI makes it faster to build things from scratch and harder to maintain anything at scale. Begin with the end in mind. Or do not, and become the next cautionary tale.   Jeff's contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ragic/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

What if the real danger in retirement isn't running out of money, but spending so cautiously that you accidentally work too long, live too small, and die with a portfolio that never got a chance to do its job? In part two with Aubrey Williams, we go deeper into the "fog of FI" (that weird, anxious place where the spreadsheet says you're free, but your nervous system absolutely does not believe it). This episode covers: Why the 4% rule can make FI people overwork and underspend How future income streams like Social Security can move your FI date forward Why flexible spending is more realistic than flat, inflation-adjusted withdrawals How risk-based guardrails help you know when to cut or increase spending Why many FI people need more help increasing spending than reducing it How personal inflation can differ from CPI and affect retirement planning Why historical analysis may be more useful than Monte Carlo for some FI decisions How small amounts of income in retirement can meaningfully reduce portfolio pressure Why engineers and analytical types often need better data to trust they're "done" How Bill is using these ideas to finally get clearer about leaving work sooner .

Thirty-four million dollars.That's what it costs to buy a congressional seat in America. Not rent. Buy. Outright. Like a foreclosure auction, except the property is a democracy and the bidders live in a different country.This week, Thomas Massie, a seven-term Republican who voted with Trump 94% of the time, was primaried out of Congress in the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. His crime? Pushing the Epstein files. Fighting the war in Iran. Introducing a bill to make AIPAC register as a foreign agent. His replacement is a man with no public platform, no public birthday, and $34 million in outside money from pro-Israel lobbying groups and three billionaires who have never been to Kentucky.Meanwhile: The DOJ created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that could pay out January 6th defendants, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers, and gave Trump permanent IRS audit immunity as a bonus. Two Capitol Police officers are suing to shut it down.The Trump administration indicted 94-year-old Raul Castro on Cuban Independence Day at Miami's Freedom Tower, directly next to the future Trump Library, in the middle of an oil blockade that has left Cuba without electricity and healthcare. Justice or political theater? (We both know the answer.)The Senate finally advanced a war powers resolution on Iran. On its eighth try. The House still can't get it done by one vote. The guy who led the fight just lost his seat.Spencer Pratt, the villain from The Hills, is running for Mayor of Los Angeles. His campaign is staffed by MAGA operatives. He compared himself to Obama.

Formal methods are a branch of mathematics and computer science focused on proving the correctness of systems, and they have long promised a more rigorous foundation for software. However, their complexity has kept them confined to a small community of specialists. That is now changing as agentic AI systems take on increasingly autonomous roles. The The post Formal Methods as Agent Guardrails appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
