ServiceNow Otto Is the Front Door to an AI Platform Built to Finish the Work
Enterprises have spent the past few years deploying AI across their organizations, only to find it stops short of actually finishing the job.

Jentic Is Betting That AI’s Biggest Problem Is Your APIs
The agents are ready. The pipes aren’t. That’s the uncomfortable reality sitting underneath the AI agent boom.
