I hosted an AI dinner with Fortune 500 execs last Friday. It was a massive success, largely because no one talked about AI for the entire dinner. This technology is important & is changing the arc of life & business, but it's also exhausting. In a post-AI, techno-obsessed world, creating space to just let humans be humans has a greater premium than ever before.

Highly relevant conversation with our fearless leader Dan Gill - definitely worth a listen if you're getting serious about how AI is going to fit into your broader tech roadmap (and you should be)!

Shadow AI, board pressure, and stretched IT budgets are all converging on technology leaders at once.   In the first episode of Inside Amplix, a new series from The Amplitude of Tech, Shawn Cordner sits down with Amplix CEO Dan Gill for a direct conversation on what he's seeing across thousands of client engagements: where IT budgets are actually hiding savings, why AI pilots fail, and how to talk to your board about AI risk without becoming the roadblock.

Excited to participate in the Be10X AI Generalist Hackathon! 🚀 I'm proud to present NEXUS AI – Your Personal AI Workforce, a multi-agent AI platform designed to enhance personal productivity, streamline knowledge management, and simplify everyday workflows through intelligent AI collaboration. The project demonstrates how multiple AI agents can work together to provide smarter assistance, faster decision-making, and a more personalized user experience. A brief project summary is enclosed.  #Be10X #AIHackathon #NEXUSAI #AgenticAI #MultiAgentAI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #Productivity #Innovation #AI #TechInnovation Be10x

Who will win the World Cup? A country that prioritises the team, or one that prioritises their most talented individual player? When it comes to AI adoption, there is less of a debate; it really is a team sport...

Yesterday was a full AI roadshow day. Three talks. Two stops. A lot of manufacturing conversations. Three talks in one day sounded very reasonable when I agreed to it several weeks ago. I started with NEPIRC and a great group of local manufacturers talking about AI tools, deployment, tribal knowledge, and how to actually get started without turning it into a science project. Then it was down the road to Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) in Allentown to talk about identifying the highest-priority opportunities — the places where AI can create real value instead of just adding another shiny tool to the pile. We wrapped with a live demo of functional AI tools running in a sandbox, including Hatz AI integrations and workflows. The common theme from manufacturers of all shapes and sizes: interest is high, but the path forward still feels fuzzy. That’s the work now - helping teams get out of pilot purgatory and into practical, useful AI that supports the people doing the work every day. Great conversations all around.

The companies winning on AI right now aren't the ones with the most tokens or the most pilots. They're the ones that asked the right questions before they started counting. Define what you're trying to change before you pick a tool. Define how you'll know it worked before you deploy. For founders building now, that's the structural advantage: you haven't committed to the wrong metrics yet. This week's Lab Report:

Trust in AI products should scale in stages. A system earns trust by explaining, previewing, asking approval, acting within scope, reporting what happened, and recovering when something goes wrong. The Trust Scaling Ladder helps decide what the system must prove before autonomy expands. The best AI products do not demand trust. They accumulate it. This is part of the Operating Reality series: practical artifacts for turning agentic AI from demos into governed work systems.

Pacific is building what comes next. Today, we’re doubling down on our mission: helping teams think faster, decide smarter, and move with more confidence through AI-powered workflows. What this means for our community: - Better tools that reduce busywork - Faster insights from complex information - Practical AI that supports real decisions, not just demos We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to everyone building with us. Follow along as we share updates, product milestones, and lessons from the journey. #Pacific #AI #Innovation #Productivity #FutureOfWork #Technology

The age of AI experimentation is officially over. ""Fast Forward Now"" was the core of #techconf26, and the time aspect is crucial. The moment for the go-to-market of our solutions is right now. In this interview, Tommaso Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of TeamSystem Group, highlights the main aspect driving this transition: small businesses are demanding high levels of automation to transform their daily processes, and we are moving rapidly in that direction. 📲 Watch the full interview to discover more. #techconf26
