Welcome to "AI with Shaily" hosted by Shailendra Kumar, a male AI enthusiast and expert, who is excited to explore the cutting-edge developments in generative AI! 🚀 Today, Shaily dives into the fascinating world of AI “agents,” a new wave in artificial intelligence that’s sparking buzz across social media. Unlike traditional AI chatbots or assistants, these AI agents don’t just respond — they think, plan, act, and collaborate autonomously, taking AI to a whole new level of sophistication. 🤖✨

Shaily explains that AI agents represent a leap beyond the early days of chatbots from late 2022 and the helpful copilots we’ve used for various tasks. These agents can now set bigger goals, strategize multi-step plans, and execute complex workflows almost like intelligent digital colleagues with initiative and problem-solving skills. 🧠💡

He highlights OpenAI’s latest innovation: a new ChatGPT agent that combines features from previous tools like Operator and Deep Research, making it smarter and more independent. This agent doesn’t just wait for commands; it proactively thinks and acts. Meanwhile, Amazon is also making strides, unveiling “agentic AI” at the AWS Summit aimed at automating complex business processes — a sign that AI agents are poised to revolutionize enterprise operations. 🏢⚙️

Shaily shares insights from industry experts such as Gartner, who predict that generative AI agents could boost data and analytics value delivery by up to 40% by 2027. However, he notes that this exciting potential also challenges businesses to rethink their workflows, integrate AI effectively, and manage how AI outputs fit into existing IT systems to scale successfully. 📈🔧

On a personal note, Shaily reflects on his own experience with AI agents, describing the amazement he felt watching them coordinate multi-step tasks he once did manually, learning and optimizing continuously — like having an AI co-founder working around the clock. Yet, this also raises important questions about how AI agents will collaborate with humans and other AI in critical, high-stakes environments, a puzzle the AI community is eager to solve. 🤝🕵️‍♂️

For fellow AI practitioners, Shaily offers a valuable tip: design clear goal hierarchies for your AI agents. When an agent understands the “why” behind a task, it can autonomously determine the best “how,” making it more effective and independent. 🎯🛠️

He invites his audience to share their thoughts on whether AI agents could become ultimate digital teammates in the future, encouraging engagement across his YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium channels. 💬🌐

To wrap up, Shaily leaves us with an inspiring quote: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” With AI agents, we’re not just predicting the future — we’re actively building it. 🌟🛤️

Prompted by Fire

Fresh out of the studio, Feon Ang, Managing Director of LinkedIn Asia Pacific, joins us to explore how the platform is transforming professional networking and career development across the region's 343 million members. She shares her career journey from publishing to tech leadership, reflecting on the evolution from typewritten CVs to AI-powered job searches today. Feon explains LinkedIn's unique approach combining scale, trust, and member-first philosophy, emphasizing how their AI tools enable professionals to find opportunities through natural language while companies streamline hiring processes. She highlights the platform's remarkable growth metrics—47 hires per minute and 36% video engagement growth—showcasing how organizations are re-engineering recruitment and learning through AI coaching and personalized pathways. Addressing the challenges of AI adoption and skills gaps, she emphasizes the importance of three key actions: fluency, agency, and action, while advocating for accessible AI integration into daily workflows. Closing the conversation, Feon shares her vision for creating even greater economic opportunity across Asia Pacific as professionals and businesses navigate the AI transformation together.

"AI is in the minds of a lot of people right now and naturally with such big technological shift, you find that there is a big skill gap. You know, there is companies demanding skills in this area, and yet naturally in the marketplace, they might have difficulty finding that skills that is required for companies. So, you know, job seekers need to be a lot more conscious in terms of how they are equipping themselves. One of the things is that LinkedIn courses are there [to help]. I always talk about the three affirmative actions that you can do. One is making sure that you are fluent in this area. I think what are the things that you can do to actually get your hands on all these tools so that you become fluent in just playing around with the tool and making sure that you feel comfortable. The second area that I advise people is to make sure that you feel that you have the agency to master your destiny. The third thing will be to take action. If you have learned all these skills, find a way to showcase it and find a way to actually talk about it so that you are, you can actually surface your capabilities in this space." - Feon Ang

Creating Economic Opportunity in the era of AI: LinkedIn's Mission in Asia Pacific with Feon Ang

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.
