Generative AI: Insights on Advancements

In this episode of BetterTech Jocelyn Houle, sit down with AJ Cook, Head of Global Agentic and AI at Workato, to explore the powerful intersection of AI, integration, and go-to-market strategies. AJ shares how Workato is helping enterprises simplify complex systems, automate workflows, and now, build intelligent AI agents that drive real business value. From stitching data across SaaS apps to automating sales processes like CPQ in minutes, AJ dives into what it really takes to implement GenAI responsibly. He also unpacks the buzz around "agentic" workflows, the importance of flexibility in tech stacks, and how AI is transforming tasks — not eliminating jobs. A must-listen for CIOs, CROs, and AI-curious leaders.

From Sales to AI Agents - The GTM Shift

AI is changing the game—but not in the way you think. In this episode of #HRTechChat, we’re sharing a special swapcast from the PeopleTech podcast hosted by Mark Feffer, featuring Samrat Krishna of Darwinbox.
Samrat unpacks how AI agents are killing the “toggle tax” and rethinking enterprise software altogether. Instead of juggling dozens of systems and interfaces, agents now act on your behalf—fetching info, taking action, and streamlining workflows across platforms.
They dig into the mechanics of MCP (Modular Component Protocol), how Darwinbox is building for agent-first environments, and what HR leaders should automate today to unlock strategic headspace tomorrow.
If you think AI is about replacing people, you’re asking the wrong question.
Tune in to learn how to shift from assistance to agency—and why that shift changes everything.


#HRTechChat: Darwinbox’s Samrat Krishna on Killing the Toggle Tax and Unleashing AI Agents at Work

The discussion of the C3Centricity blog post "AI in CPG: Strategic Growth, Not Just Content," emphasises that while AI adoption is increasing, many consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are underutilising it for low-impact tasks. It argues for a strategic shift, highlighting that leading companies are orchestrating multiple AI models for both efficiency and innovation. The article suggests that CPG leaders should focus on asking sharper, more strategic questions of their AI, moving beyond superficial metrics to analyse mental availability and conduct robust scenario planning. Crucially, it advocates for deploying AI to tackle high-impact, complex challenges like dynamic customer segmentation, retailer-specific positioning, and rapid concept iteration. It concludes by warning that companies failing to embrace AI strategically risk falling behind competitors who are already leveraging AI for significant gains in productivity and market share.

In episode 48 of Generationship, Rachel Chalmers speaks with Sarah Novotny.

Sarah highlights lessons from Kubernetes, open source ecosystems, and political science to propose a more trustworthy technological future.

Generationship - Ep. #48, Trusting AI with Sarah Novotny

The post material offers a multifaceted critique of the current landscape of artificial intelligence, primarily focusing on the relationship between technological progress and the erosion of user autonomy. The author contends that while AI is presented as an optimization tool for productivity, its adoption necessitates the sacrifice of privacy and critical thinking, leading to a shared sense of powerlessness. This loss of control is illustrated through a discussion of new browsers like Atlas and Comet, which promote "voluntary servitude" and signal the impending shift from traditional SEO to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Furthermore, the text examines how organizational pathologies often cause digital transformations to fail, juxtaposing these systemic problems with a technical explanation of how to construct a semantic layer for ensuring consistent data definitions. Ultimately, the reflection warns that AI functions as a mirror to our fears and habits, risking the complete surrender of personal agency if users do not actively reclaim control.
