“Everyone is building AI agents. Very few are testing them enough to know if they'll keep working reliably.”
“Enterprises don't have a model problem. They have a decision problem.”
“How do we build technology for the hundreds of millions of people who live outside the digital mainstream?”
“At NatWest, the real AI inflection point isn't a new model; it's an organisational one.”
“Went to Cypher 2026 for AI. Came back with a lot of marketing inspiration too! Even the attendee badge felt like a creative.”
“Murf AI's retro telephone booth was a fun way to experience a future where talking to AI feels natural.”
“At Nimaya, we see AI as the force that allows us to scale without losing depth.”
