Podcasts about Workflow

This Business of Tech episode delves into the critical alignment of technology with how people work, emphasizing the strategic advantage for businesses, particularly those leveraging Apple ecosystems and remote teams. Rob Calvert, President of Second Son Consulting, highlights common misconceptions in IT, where decisions are often made in a vacuum without considering company culture or workflows. This disconnect leads to daily friction and hinders growth. Calvert shares an example of implementing zero-touch MDM, where the technological aspect is straightforward, but the real challenge lies in adapting workflows and company culture to accommodate remote hiring and device deployment timelines, ultimately enabling faster growth with less operational friction.The discussion underscores the importance of integrating IT decisions with broader business objectives. Calvert explains that for small to mid-sized businesses, understanding and defining existing workflows is a crucial first step. His firm's process involves auditing technology platforms, establishing role-based standards for new hires, and documenting procedures for onboarding and offboarding. This systematic approach, exemplified by streamlining onboarding from hours to minutes, ensures that technology serves as an asset rather than an obstacle, optimizing efficiency and security.Further insights are provided on security and compliance within Apple-centric environments, contrasting them with Microsoft-centric approaches. Key differences include procurement styles, the utilization of Apple Business Manager, and the implementation of non-removable MDM for enhanced security and control. The episode also touches on the growing impact of AI, with a focus on enabling local, on-device AI to address privacy concerns and accelerate business processes like proposal writing and research, while emphasizing the need for leadership to guide AI adoption and manage associated security implications.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the episode offers actionable strategies for improving client IT infrastructure. It stresses the value of aligning technology with specific business workflows and company culture to reduce friction and boost productivity. The discussion on Apple-centric IT and AI adoption provides practical guidance on managing devices, implementing robust security measures, and leveraging new technologies responsibly. The emphasis on creating standardized, documented processes for onboarding and offboarding, while remaining flexible to client needs and potential risks, is a key takeaway for enhancing service delivery and client satisfaction.

Anthropic's disclosure of model drift within its Claude AI system highlights growing risks surrounding governance and ongoing alignment of artificial intelligence. The company has revised its guidelines using a “Constitutional AI” approach, aiming to instill reason-based behavior and ethical boundaries, and has openly acknowledged that an AI's internal controls may shift unpredictably over time—a concern when models are deeply embedded in business workflows. This admission places attention on governance and accountability rather than just model safety, making clear that the AI a company tests may become materially different after extended deployment, especially as personalization increases.Supporting these concerns, Anthropic's research demonstrated that large language models—including those from Google and Meta—can experience personality drift, with unintended shifts in behavior due to instability of internal control mechanisms. Google's updated AI offerings, tying personal data from Gmail and Photos to generative model responses, intensify challenges around data governance and organizational control. As vendors expand AI personalization and memory features, oversight gaps can emerge, raising questions about who retains authority over information, inference, and decision-making within automated systems.Adjacent findings indicate that the anticipated productivity gains from AI have yet to reach most enterprises. According to surveys cited by Dave Sobel, over half of CEOs report failing to realize ROI from AI investments, while frontline employees describe AI integrations as sources of friction and additional workload rather than relief. In the MSP sector, widespread adoption of “agentic” AI and digital labor is delivering financial upside for some providers, but it is also shifting operational liabilities—especially as contracts and security architectures lag behind new workflow realities.The core takeaway for MSPs and IT service providers is the necessity of reexamining control, authority, and contractual obligations in AI-enabled environments. Delegating tasks to automated agents increases exposure to unpriced and unmitigated risks if governance, liability, and monitoring mechanisms do not adapt accordingly. Effective harm reduction in this landscape requires treating workflows—not just models—as security perimeters, clarifying accountability for AI-driven actions, and ensuring that contractual and operational frameworks reflect these new sources of risk.00:00 AI Governance Moves Center Stage as Models Drift and Personalization Deepen05:08 AI Boosts Executive Productivity While Frontline ROI and Employee Experience Lag07:51 AI Exposes the Real Divide: Governance Failures vs. Effective Oversight in Government Systems10:39 MSPs Chase AI-Driven Margins, but Workflow Security and Liability Define the Real Risk This is the Business of Tech.

The Big Unlock · Chethan Sathya, MD., Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Northwell Health In this episode, Dr. Chethan Sathya, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Northwell Health, unpacks why healthcare innovation only scales when clinicians, public health, and AI are designed to work together. Dr. Sathya shares his journey from surgery to journalism to public health advocacy, including leading gun violence prevention efforts. He explains why most AI pilots fail, because of poor workflow integration and clinician burden, and why ambient intelligence, tele-specialty care, and agentic AI are poised to scale. His message is clear: build technology alongside clinicians, not around them. Take a listen.

Ben Settle didn't start his online business with a clear roadmap; he started confused, chasing shiny objects, and making the same mistakes most beginners make. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on his journey: the false starts, the shortcuts that backfired, and the hard lessons that actually moved the needle.

AI in medicine is best understood as a powerful tool and a conditional partner that can enhance care when tightly supervised by clinicians, but it becomes a problem when used as a replacement, deployed without oversight, or embedded in biased and opaque systems. Whether it functions more as a partner or a problem depends on how health systems design, regulate, and integrate it into real clinical workflows.​ Where AI Works Well Decision support and diagnosis: AI can read imaging, ECGs, and lab patterns with very high accuracy, helping detect cancers, heart disease, and other conditions earlier and reducing some diagnostic errors.​ Workflow and documentation: Tools that draft visit notes, summarize records, and route messages can cut administrative burden and free up clinician time for patients.​ Patient monitoring and triage: Algorithms can watch vital signs or wearable data to flag deterioration, triage symptoms online, and guide patients through care pathways, which is especially valuable with clinician shortages.​ Risks and Problems Errors, over-reliance, and "automation bias": Studies show clinicians sometimes follow incorrect AI recommendations even when the errors are detectable, which can lead to worse decisions than if AI were not used.​ Bias and inequity: If training data underrepresent certain groups, AI can systematically misdiagnose or undertreat them, amplifying existing health disparities.​ Trust, explainability, and liability: Black-box systems can undermine shared decision-making when neither doctor nor patient can understand or challenge a recommendation, and they raise hard questions about who is responsible when harm occurs.​ Impact on the Doctor–Patient Relationship Potential partner: By handling routine documentation and data crunching, AI can give clinicians more time for conversation, empathy, and shared decisions, supporting more person-centered care.​ Potential barrier: If AI outputs dominate visits or generate long lists of differential diagnoses directly to patients, it can increase anxiety, fragment communication, and weaken relational trust.​ How To Keep AI a Partner, Not a Problem Keep humans in the loop: Use AI as a second reader or coach, not a final decision-maker; clinicians should retain authority to accept, modify, or reject suggestions.​ Demand transparency and evaluation: Health systems should validate tools locally, monitor performance across different populations, and disclose AI use to patients in clear language.​ Align incentives with patient interests: Regulation, reimbursement, and malpractice rules should reward safe, equitable use of AI—not just speed, volume, or commercial uptake.​ In practice, AI in medicine becomes a true partner when it augments human judgment, enhances relationships, and improves outcomes; it becomes a problem when it is opaque, biased, or allowed to replace clinical responsibility.​

If you want real improvement—not just more dashboards—workflow efficiency metrics have to start with something most teams avoid: visibility. In Part 2 of our interview with Michael Toguchi, we move from "big ideas" into the operational reality leaders face every day: shadow tools, duplicate systems, fuzzy ROI, and the pricing pressure that shows up when AI makes work faster. This conversation is a reality check for ops leaders, engineering leaders, and consultants trying to scale without drowning in tool sprawl—or measuring productivity in ways that break trust. Workflow efficiency metrics only work when the workflow is visible. If work lives in shadows, your data will lie. About Michael Toguchi Michael Toguchi is the Chief Strategy Officer at eResources, where he leads strategy for technology that supports complex, high-stakes workflows across higher education and mission-driven organizations. With 25+ years in digital transformation, Michael helps teams reduce tool sprawl, eliminate manual bottlenecks, strengthen compliance, and measure improvements in ways that translate into real operational capacity and impact. Tool Sprawl Starts as "Helpful" (Until It Becomes Expensive) Every organization eventually meets the "skunk works" problem: someone builds a spreadsheet, a quick app, a mini database, or a side process that solves a real pain—fast. It's well-intentioned. It's also how silos form. Over time, those small fixes become a parallel organization: Data gets duplicated in multiple places Teams report numbers that don't match Leaders lose confidence in what's "true" Tech debt grows quietly because no one owns it end-to-end Michael's warning is simple: when every department solves problems in isolation, the organization pays for it later—usually in rework, compliance risk, and decision-making paralysis. Shadow tools don't just create tech debt—they create decision debt. Workflow Efficiency Metrics Start With Transparency, Not Control The fix isn't to ban spreadsheets or crush experimentation. Michael's approach is more practical: shine the light on the workflow, then standardize intentionally. That means asking better questions: Who is doing this work today—and why? Where does the data enter, and where does it leave? Which steps exist because the system is unclear… versus because the work is truly necessary? What systems must integrate so people aren't forced into duplicate entry? Transparency isn't micromanagement. It's a shared map. And once everyone sees the same map, you can make changes that stick. "Shine the transparency light on the workflow." Then decide what to standardize and integrate. Workflow Efficiency Metrics That Matter: Time Saved → Capacity Gained A big takeaway from Part 2 is how Michael thinks about measurement. Leaders often struggle here because "value" feels subjective—until you translate it into something tangible. Instead of measuring activity ("tickets closed" or "hours logged"), focus on outcomes: time reclaimed errors reduced handoffs eliminated cycle time improved compliance risk reduced Michael shares a practical framing: if you reclaim even a slice of time—say 15% of a team's capacity—that's not just a feel-good metric. It's a lever you can pull: that capacity becomes more customers served more projects shipped more support coverage fewer burnout-driven departures In other words, the metric isn't "time saved." The metric is what the organization can now do because time was saved. Time saved is only "real" when it turns into capacity, quality, or revenue. When AI Shrinks Time, Time-and-Materials Pricing Breaks Then Michael hits the business-model shift that a lot of teams are quietly wrestling with: AI compresses time. Work that took weeks can take days. The value may be the same—or higher—but the hours shrink. If you sell hours, you're forced into a bad choice: charge less (even if the impact is huge), or justify hours that no longer make sense Michael's answer is to move up the stack: value-based pricing, retainers, and partnership models—ways of charging for outcomes, access, and expertise instead of minutes on a clock. That shift requires maturity: you must be able to explain your value clearly and measure the results you're creating. Which brings us right back to the point of the episode… Workflow efficiency metrics aren't just internal tools. They're how you prove impact when "time spent" stops being the story. Value-priced work + retainers make sense when time shrinks—but outcomes still matter. Closing Thoughts on Workflow Efficiency Metrics Part 2 is a playbook for modern leaders: reduce tool sprawl with transparency, measure efficiency without eroding trust, and adapt your pricing model as AI changes the relationship between time and value. In a world where speed is easier to buy, the winners will be the teams who can see the workflow, measure what matters, and price the impact.

  In this episode of The Heart & Hustle Podcast, Evie and Lindsey step straight into the creative arena with James Broadbent, founder and CEO of Narrative, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about AI, culling, editing, and whether photographers really need to leave the "dark ages" of legacy workflows behind. From debating Photo Mechanic loyalty and DSLR comfort zones to breaking down how AI-assisted culling and editing actually work inside a real photographer's workflow, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it looks like to save hours behind the computer without sacrificing creative control. James shares how Narrative was built by photographers for photographers, why AI doesn't replace artistry (but can absolutely support it), and how freeing up your time can lead to better work, less burnout, and a more sustainable business. If you have ever felt skeptical, overwhelmed, or quietly curious about AI tools and still want your work to feel intentional, emotional, and unmistakably yours, this conversation is your permission slip to rethink how you work.

"Sales is an outcome, not a goal. It's a function of doing numerous things right." – Jill Konrath Check Out These Highlights:  I love how this quote blends the dynamics of selling through service with AI to personalize our approach to meeting clients' needs more quickly and with greater precision. When I started my career 42 years ago, we had no internet, and computers were pretty lame, used only for order-taking. Long gone are the days of using index cards and Pendaflex folders for my follow-up.  Change is good when we leverage it to save time and deliver better results.  Now more than ever, salespeople need to do numerous things correctly, including being well-versed in AI use throughout their entire sales process.  About Artem Koren: Artem is the Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Sembly AI, a leading platform that transforms conversations into actionable intelligence for teams.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Josh Halliday, who works on training super intelligence with frontier data at Turing. The conversation explores the fascinating world of reinforcement learning (RL) environments, synthetic data generation, and the crucial role of high-quality human expertise in AI training. Josh shares insights from his years working at Unity Technologies building simulated environments for everything from oil and gas safety scenarios to space debris detection, and discusses how the field has evolved from quantity-focused data collection to specialized, expert-verified training data that's becoming the key bottleneck in AI development. They also touch on the philosophical implications of our increasing dependence on AI technology and the emerging job market around AI training and data acquisition.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to AI and Reinforcement Learning03:12 The Evolution of AI Training Data05:59 Gaming Engines and AI Development08:51 Virtual Reality and Robotics Training11:52 The Future of Robotics and AI Collaboration14:55 Building Applications with AI Tools17:57 The Philosophical Implications of AI20:49 Real-World Workflows and RL Environments26:35 The Impact of Technology on Human Cognition28:36 Cultural Resistance to AI and Data Collection31:12 The Bottleneck of High-Quality Data in AI32:57 Philosophical Perspectives on Data35:43 The Future of AI Training and Human Collaboration39:09 The Role of Subject Matter Experts in Data Quality43:20 The Evolution of Work in the Age of AI46:48 Convergence of AI and Human ExperienceKey Insights1. Reinforcement Learning environments are sophisticated simulations that replicate real-world enterprise workflows and applications. These environments serve as training grounds for AI agents by creating detailed replicas of tools like Salesforce, complete with specific tasks and verification systems. The agent attempts tasks, receives feedback on failures, and iterates until achieving consistent success rates, effectively learning through trial and error in a controlled digital environment.2. Gaming engines like Unity have evolved into powerful platforms for generating synthetic training data across diverse industries. From oil and gas companies needing hazardous scenario data to space intelligence firms tracking orbital debris, these real-time 3D engines with advanced physics can create high-fidelity simulations that capture edge cases too dangerous or expensive to collect in reality, bridging the gap where real-world data falls short.3. The bottleneck in AI development has fundamentally shifted from data quantity to data quality. The industry has completely reversed course from the previous "scale at all costs" approach to focusing intensively on smaller, higher-quality datasets curated by subject matter experts. This represents a philosophical pivot toward precision over volume in training next-generation AI systems.4. Remote teleoperation through VR is creating a new global workforce for robotics training. Workers wearing VR headsets can remotely control humanoid robots across the globe, teaching them tasks through direct demonstration. This creates opportunities for distributed talent while generating the nuanced human behavioral data needed to train autonomous systems.5. Human expertise remains irreplaceable in the AI training pipeline despite advancing automation. Subject matter experts provide crucial qualitative insights that go beyond binary evaluations, offering the contextual "why" and "how" that transforms raw data into meaningful training material. The challenge lies in identifying, retaining, and properly incentivizing these specialists as demand intensifies.6. First-person perspective data collection represents the frontier of human-like AI training. Companies are now paying people to life-log their daily experiences, capturing petabytes of egocentric data to train models more similarly to how human children learn through constant environmental observation, rather than traditional batch-processing approaches.7. The convergence of simulation, robotics, and AI is creating unprecedented philosophical and practical challenges. As synthetic worlds become indistinguishable from reality and AI agents gain autonomy, we're entering a phase where the boundaries between digital and physical, human and artificial intelligence, become increasingly blurred, requiring careful consideration of dependency, agency, and the preservation of human capabilities.

In this solo episode, Shintaro Higashi shares 5 key lessons he's learned from growing a successful YouTube channel in the grappling space.

The generative AI landscape has shifted again, and at speed. In this update episode, Daniel Rowles breaks down a rapid sequence of releases from OpenAI and Google, explaining what has actually changed, what genuinely matters, and how marketers and business leaders should respond. Covering everything from ChatGPT 5.x and Gemini 3 through to image generation breakthroughs, AI-powered apps, and the rise of accessible 'vibe coding', this episode is a practical briefing rather than hype-driven commentary. Daniel focuses on real-world capability, usability, and where these tools are already changing how marketing teams work, build, and analyse. Rather than asking which model is "winning", the episode reframes the question around task-based selection. Different tools now excel at different jobs, from coding and image editing to workflow automation and reporting. Understanding those strengths is quickly becoming a competitive advantage In This Episode How the AI model race intensified between OpenAI and Google at the beginning of 2026 What actually changed with ChatGPT 5.1 and 5.2, beyond the headline claims Why Gemini 3 represents a major leap in reasoning and coding capability How image generation tools have crossed a new threshold in photorealism and editing What Nano Banana Pro means for branded, on-style visual creation Why ChatGPT connectors becoming "apps" is more important than it sounds How tools like Canva, Adobe, and Figma now integrate directly into AI workflows What vibe coding really is, and why it matters for non-technical marketers How canvas mode transforms the way code, content, and interfaces are created Why AI-powered browsers and agent modes could redefine reporting and analysis Key Takeaways No single AI model is best at everything, and choosing by task is now essential Image editing and brand-consistent visuals are becoming dramatically more accessible Marketers can now create interactive tools and content without traditional development AI-assisted coding is shifting from novelty to practical everyday use Workflow automation and reporting are emerging as some of the biggest wins Understanding interfaces and deployment matters as much as model intelligence

In this final episode of 2025, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn zoom out to dissect what actually mattered this year across Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT Image 1.5, Weavy, video models, workflows, and the uncomfortable truth about how fast all of this is moving.They unpack the real inflection points no one labeled at the time. Why March quietly changed everything. Why Nano Banana Pro rewired image editing expectations. Why Veo 3 reset video. Why Midjourney still feels magicalWhy workflows (not models) are becoming the real creative advantage.Along the way, they spiral into mood boards, personalization hacks, node-based systems, AI video limitations, why Hollywood feels creatively bankrupt, how Grok quietly became a research weapon, and why Midjourney's next move might determine whether it stays an artist's playground or becomes a professional tool.It's opinionated. It's nerdy. It's honest. It's occasionally unhinged.And it's the clearest snapshot of where AI creativity actually stands heading into 2026.If you're trying to keep up, slow down, or figure out where to place your bets next year, this episode is your unfair advantage.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 – Episode 60 kickoff and end-of-year reflections01:50 – From niche experiment to mainstream behavior04:00 – AI finally reaches non-technical families06:18 – Why working solo in AI can feel isolating09:03 – Music, creativity, and early signs of AI music adoption11:02 – How fast AI actually shipped in 202512:14 – 100+ major releases and why that number matters13:01 – The real start of image editing workflows14:46 – March 2025 was the quiet inflection point16:06 – Multi-modal chat changed prompting forever19:20 – Veo 3 and why video suddenly jumped ahead21:41 – Why Google quietly dominated 202523:00 – Why hype cycles now last 48 hours23:51 – Nano Banana Pro and precision image control26:02 – Grok as a real-time research engine27:49 – Why physics in AI video finally started working29:12 – Nodes, workflows, and why visualization matters30:26 – Why Nano Banana Pro felt like “AGI for images”31:26 – Will 2026 move even faster?32:25 – Release cadence, VC pressure, and reality checks34:03 – Images vs video: who's actually ahead36:18 – Why Grok might be the sleeper winner38:36 – Data, platforms, and why distribution matters41:28 – Consolidation and acquisitions are coming44:14 – What Midjourney must do next45:23 – Image editing as the make-or-break feature48:43 – Workflow fatigue and creative burnout52:50 – Personalization, mood boards, and creative joy56:44 – Why mood boards drove the best work of 202559:12 – Personalization profiles vs mood boards01:00:43 – Why Midjourney still feels different01:02:27 – Scale, permutations, and professional use cases01:06:36 – Resolution, editing, and real production constraints01:10:22 – Why small failures still matter01:13:00 – Hollywood, creativity, and AI backlash01:17:17 – Why creators beat platforms01:22:25 – Audio and voice as the next bottleneck01:23:55 – Constraint-driven prompting in 202601:30:14 – Looking back at January vs now01:38:23 – Final predictions and advice for 202601:42:34 – Season two wrap and sign-off

Ever wonder which tools and services you actually need as a solopreneur, and which ones are just shiny distractions?In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe revisit one of the most debated sections of their book, Solopreneur Business For Dummies: setting up your company's tools and services.From creating rock-solid SOPs to knowing when to outsource, to avoiding the dreaded “tool overload,” they break down how to make smarter choices that actually save you time. Plus, they share how AI can help today (and where it still falls short). If you've ever felt stuck between doing it all yourself, hiring help, or buying yet another app, you won't want to miss this conversation.Episode FAQsShould I outsource tasks as a solopreneur or keep doing everything myself?You don't need employees to be a solopreneur, but you also don't have to do everything alone. Outsourcing to contractors or companies for specific tasks can save time and prevent burnout. The key is to outsource before you're desperate. This way, you have time to properly train someone and set up processes that work.How do I know which tools are worth paying for?Start by identifying the specific problem you want to solve, then choose tools that are simple, affordable, and easy to integrate with your current setup. Avoid chasing “shiny objects” that solve problems you don't even have yet. Use free trials strategically and actually test them on a real task during the trial period, and start with monthly payments until you're confident it's a good fit.What should come first: documenting processes or finding tools and services?Always start with documenting your processes in the form of standard operating procedures (SOPs). If you try to outsource or automate a broken process, you'll only make the problems bigger. SOPs give you a clear, repeatable checklist that works whether you do it yourself, hand it off to someone else, or use a tool to automate it.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Jayesh Kumar, Co-Founder at Aonami. Discover how legacy systems are being disrupted, the challenges of digital transformation, and why true innovation means building solutions that give time back to people. Four Key Takeaways: The Problem with Legacy Systems [6:10]Banks and healthcare institutions are bogged down by dozens of outdated, patchwork systems, making innovation slow and compliance difficult. Meeting Clients Where They Are [14:54]True disruption comes from understanding a client’s current state and building solutions that fit their unique needs, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. The Human Side of B2B Sales [20:03]Selling transformative technology to large organizations is about building relationships and convincing multiple teams, not just one decision-maker. The Real Goal of Technology [28:47]The ultimate aim of innovation should be to give people time back, making work more productive, creative, and compassionate. Quote of the Show (34:23):"True disruption really happens not by doing a lot of work, but by doing less in a much smarter way. You should be building systems that start giving time back to people." – Jayesh Kumar Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Vinny DelGuidice teaches us how to build a sustainable food blogging workflow using batching, planning ahead, and reusing what already works. Vinny DelGiudice is the creator of Always From Scratch, an Italian-American family food blog he started six years ago. He is a professional photographer, dad, and husband who focuses on developing nostalgic family recipes from his and his wife's childhood, meals that make it easier for families to sit down at the table and enjoy time together. Burnout is not a requirement for success. Vincent shares how he stopped forcing creativity, built a repeatable workflow, and learned to do less while growing more. This episode is a reality check for food bloggers who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in constant decision mode. Key points discussed include: Choose your creative time: You will make better content faster when you stop forcing creative work into the wrong hours. Batching saves your sanity: Planning shoots and tasks in advance removes decision fatigue and keeps momentum going. Plan tomorrow before today ends: Knowing exactly what you will work on next eliminates wasted mental energy. Reuse what already works: Series content and proven formats outperform constant reinvention. One shoot multiple assets: Shooting photo and video together cuts production time in half. Not every platform deserves you: Focus on where your audience actually is and outsource or skip the rest. Comparison kills momentum: Staying in your own lane protects creativity and consistency.

AI is becoming the orchestration layer inside the enterprise.In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore the shift from isolated AI copilots to coordinated multi-agent systems that plan, analyze, and execute work across teams and tools. This is not a new feature, but a new way workflows run inside large organizations.You will hear from Seema Amble on context extraction and coordinated agent teams, Angela Strange on why unified data and parallel workflows accelerate core replacement, Alex Immerman on multiplayer AI and execution boundaries, and David Haber on what makes these systems commercially defensible.Together, these perspectives define the enterprise orchestration layer: not a chatbot and not a standalone tool, but a coordinated system of agents that runs the workflow and delivers real outcomes across the business. Resources:Follow Angela Strange on X: https://x.com/astrangeFollow David Haber on X: https://x.com/dhaberFollow Alex Immerman on X: https://x.com/aleximmFollow Seema Amble on X: https://x.com/seema_ambleRead more all of our 2026 Big IdeasPart 1: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-1Part 2: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-2/Part 3: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-3/ Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
