L'intelligence artificielle s'invite désormais dans nos parcours d'achat et impacte la relation entre marques et consommateurs. Fini le temps où l'on scrollait pendant des heures sur des sites e-commerce : l'IA agentique promet de devenir notre personal shopper universel, capable de comprendre nos besoins, de recommander des produits et d'acheter à notre place. De ChatGPT à TikTok Shop, les canaux se multiplient et le tunnel d'achat traditionnel s'efface au profit d'une consommation instantanée où découverte et achat ne font plus qu'un. Dans cet épisode d'Écoutons le Futur, quatre experts analysent cette métamorphose du commerce digital : de la montée en puissance des LLM dans les recherches d'achat à l'importance de la transparence et de la réglementation de ces outils.

Manvir Sandhu is the Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Zennify, a Salesforce consulting firm that helps financial services organizations drive digital transformation across platforms like Salesforce, Databricks, and AI. Under his leadership, Zennify has become a trusted advisor to CIOs and C-suite executives, earned Platinum-level Salesforce partner status and scaled to over 150 employees, serving clients ranging from regional banks to large enterprises.  Known for leading innovative initiatives, Manvir helped spearhead a vaccine supply chain solution in Haiti with UNICEF and the Clinton Foundation, which was presented at Salesforce Dreamforce. He brings a strong focus on AI, agile transformation, and change management to regulated industries. In this episode… Digital transformation is reshaping entire industries, yet organizations in highly regulated sectors often struggle to choose the right tools and execute change effectively. As AI, data platforms, and compliance requirements evolve at breakneck speed, innovation can stall under the weight of risk and resistance. How are today's leaders pushing past these barriers to create secure, lasting transformation? For Manvir Sandhu, a digital transformation and AI innovation leader, lasting impact comes from pairing deep industry understanding with a practical, iterative mindset. He traces this philosophy back to his early work in healthcare, where his team reimagined post-disaster vaccine management in Haiti by combining Salesforce and IoT to enable real-time tracking and alerts — an approach that later became a model for broader adoption. Building on those lessons, Manvir pivoted to financial services, using focused proof-of-concept projects to earn trust, modernize legacy systems, and deliver a true 360-degree customer view. His experience demonstrates how thoughtfully applied AI can move far beyond basic automation to drive meaningful operational and customer impact. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Manvir Sandhu, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Zennify, to explore data-driven transformation in highly regulated industries. They discuss proof-of-concept strategies, agile change management, and practical AI use cases across healthcare and financial services. Manvir also shares insights on empowering early adopters, navigating growth, and maintaining culture through leadership transitions.

In this conversation, James and Josh discuss the transition from prototype apps to production-ready products, emphasising the challenges and opportunities presented by vibe coding. They explore the implications of new coding tools, the importance of version control, and the need for security measures. The discussion highlights the evolving landscape of software engineering and the potential for new developers to emerge from this environment, while also addressing the responsibilities that come with creating applications. Vibe coding allows for rapid prototyping but can mislead about readiness for production. The barrier to entry for coding has significantly lowered, enabling more people to create apps. Version control is essential for managing app development and preventing data loss. The evolution of tools has made coding more accessible but also introduces new risks. Security measures must be prioritized as apps transition from prototype to production. AI tools can assist in app development but require careful handling of data. The gap between prototype and production needs clear communication to avoid pitfalls. New developers may emerge from the vibe coding trend, bringing fresh perspectives. Ethical considerations in AI and app development will become increasingly important.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: HTMX Brief history How old: created in May 2023 by wouters_f though recent releases are by fathershawn of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Versions available: 1.3.5 and 1.4.0, both of which support Drupal 10.3 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained, latest release less than a month ago Security coverage Test coverage Documentation included in the repo as well as online Number of open issues: 3 open issues, 1 of which is a bug Usage stats: 92 sites Module features and usage To use HTMX, you need to attach the library to the render array of one or more elements where you want to use it, and then add data attributes to your render array that indicate how you want HTMX to react to user behaviour HTMX can help make your Drupal sites more interactive by dynamically loading or reloading parts of a page, giving it a more “application-like” user experience There is a planning issue to discuss gradually replace Drupal's current AJAX system with HTMX, and a related Proof Of Concept showing how that could work with an existing Drupal admin form A number of elements in the current AJAX system also rely on jQuery, so adopting HTMX would also help to phase out jQuery in core. HTMX is also significantly more lightweight than JS frameworks like React HTMX is really a developer-oriented project, which is why I thought it would be appropriate for this week's episode

He opted against college and used the money to fund his feature that he wrote and directed, which was eventually picked up for US theatrical distribution and by HBO Europe. In 2007, to support other young filmmakers, Jesse founded NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth), which has grown into the largest and most prestigious youth film festival in the world. Jesse put his filmmaking career on hold for several years to support other young directors and build a premier showcase for aspiring directors. Variety named Jesse one of 25 talents who transformed youth entertainment and was named one of City Arts Magazine's Top 50 Culture Makers. His feature was shortlisted for the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards 'Someone to Watch' Award and was one of 20 features invited to the 2004 IFP New York Film Market. Jesse's recently been named a Global Shaper, an initiative of the World Economic Forum, built around young entrepreneurs and do-gooders. Jesse returned to filmmaking in the commercial world, now bringing years of experience crafting beautiful stories for brands. His commercial work has been seen on TV around the world, working with clients such as Volvo, Microsoft, Disney and more. His 2018 short film, Wind in the Night was one of seven films selected for the 2019 Prix SNCF du Polar in France and picked up for distribution in France, Asia, UK and USA. The film was a proof of concept for his next feature, Borrego (available January 14, 2022).
