Everyone's slapping 'agentic' on their AI products, but what does that even mean? Anne Jenkins, Vice President of Solution Architecture at Teneo, helps us separate substance from buzzwords. In this episode, Anne shares her expertise on agentic AI and the evolution of conversational AI technologies. We explore what truly makes an AI ‘agentic’ versus the marketing hype all over your LinkedIn feed and beyond. Anne explains why Teneo's hybrid approach, combining traditional NLU capabilities with large language models, creates more reliable, cost-effective, and latency-friendly solutions than pure LLM implementations. We also discuss the challenges organisations face when adopting AI solutions, including the misconception that LLMs alone can solve all problems without proper conversation design or business rule integration. Anne shares valuable insights on how companies can prepare for AI adoption through education, competitive pilots, and architectural considerations. We touch on many best practices when it comes to implementation, with Anne emphasising the importance of proper context engineering, state management, and dynamic prompting.

In this episode, we dive into the art and science of context engineering with Martin Cross, President of Connect, a company that empowers enterprises to transform through the use of AI and automation. Martin shares how most businesses still approach AI with a technology-first mindset, deploying solutions before clearly defining the customer problem they’re solving. He explains why successful AI experiences begin with understanding the user journey, designing the right interaction, and then selecting the appropriate tools, not the other way around. We also unpack Connect’s acquisition of Elerian AI and why contact centre voice recordings represent an untapped goldmine of training data. Martin explains how fine-tuning models with real-world conversations, including dialects, accents, and customer intents, can dramatically improve AI accuracy and empathy. The conversation delves into the various layers of context - from session-level to journey-wide to CRM-integrated, and how they work together to transform generic interactions into deeply personalised, proactive experiences. We also reflect on why the industry continues to repeat old mistakes and how businesses can design AI that truly understands and anticipates customer needs.

Merlin Bise, CTO of Inbenta and former Head of Technology at a firm acquired by the London Stock Exchange, joins us to share how Inbenta is helping enterprises modernise their customer experience. Merlin explains that so many AI deployments fail, not because the technology is lacking, but because companies often bet on the wrong frameworks, overlook data foundations, or underestimate the importance of testing. We explore how traditional rules-based systems give way to agentic frameworks that can reason, triage ambiguous queries, and even correct automation gaps in real time. Merlin walks us through the journey many enterprises take: beginning with deterministic rules, evolving to AI-powered agents, and ultimately orchestrating complex automation through agentic manager systems that oversee and improve themselves. Security and customer experience are front and centre in this episode. Merlin breaks down the cybersecurity concerns that make enterprises hesitate and why, in most cases, those fears are rooted more in perception than reality. Finally, we reflect on the broader trajectory of AI. While the race toward AGI dominates headlines, Merlin argues that the tools enterprises need to radically improve productivity are already here. The challenge is implementing what exists with purpose and precision.

In this episode, Kane Simms is joined by Katherine Munro, Conversational AI Engineer at Swisscom, for a deep dive into what might sound like an odd pairing: using LLMs to classify customer intents. Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, multi-purpose tools. But would you trust one to handle the precision of a classification task? It’s an unlikely fit for an LLM. Classifiers typically need to be fast, accurate, and interpretable. LLMs are slow, random black-boxes. Classifiers need to output a single label. LLMs never stop talking. And yet, there are good reasons to use LLMs for such tasks, and emerging architectures and techniques. Many real-world use cases need a classifier, and many data and product development teams will soon find themselves wondering: could GPT handle that? If that sounds like you, then check out this extended episode to explore how Switzerland’s largest telecommunications provider tackles this issue while building a next-generation AI assistant.

In this episode, Kane is joined by Sonia Ingram, Global Director of AI at Pandora, to explore what it really takes to develop AI maturity in a global business. Many organisations aiming to get started with AI and generative AI often focus on short-term, point solutions to specific problems. This emergent strategy often led from the grassroots to solve siloed departmental pain points can work for proof of value. But it rarely scales. For example, a chatbot that handles returns brilliantly may not be equipped or supported to drive sales conversations. If the support team owns it, where’s the incentive to collaborate with sales to expand its capabilities? To scale AI initiatives enterprise-wide, businesses need a purposeful strategy. One that prioritises literacy, governance, tooling, and operational foundations that empower teams across the organisation to build, maintain and grow AI solutions. In this episode, Kane and Sonia explore what it really takes to build and scale AI maturity in a global business. We cover topics such as AI literacy, change management, privacy and governance, and operational tools and processes. This episode is brought to you by NLX.

In this episode, we chat with Andrei Papancea, CEO and Co-Founder of NLX, to cut through the noise and get real about where AI in the enterprise is delivering value, and where it's not. Andrei brings a refreshing dose of grounded perspective as the buzz around ‘agentic AI’ and generative everything reaches fever pitch. Instead of chasing trends or slapping AI onto every process, NLX is laser-focused on practical outcomes: real problems, solved efficiently, and with the right tech. We explore the challenges enterprise leaders face when navigating a market bloated with hype: internal pressures to ‘do AI,’ tech stacks that aren’t ready, and misunderstandings about what LLMs can and can’t do. Andrei shares where generative AI genuinely shines and where it is still too risky, especially for heavily regulated industries. This episode is brought to you by NLX.
