Turning AI Agents Into Revenue Workflows With Outreach
What happens when an AI system moves beyond recommending the next sales action and begins running a connected revenue workflow? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Abhijit Mitra, CEO of Outreach, about the operational work required to turn agentic AI into measurable revenue outcomes. Abhijit argues that adding another AI tool can create extra complexity when customer data remains fragmented and applications cannot share context. The starting point is the business process: what problem is being solved, which data supports it, what agents may do, and where human judgment remains…

What would happen if specialty insurance underwriters and risk capital providers could work from the same timely, detailed information?

Turning AI Pilots Into Measurable Business Value With Tredence
Why can an AI pilot produce an impressive result and still fail to create measurable value for the business? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jitendra "Jit" Putcha, chief operating officer at Tredence, about what the company calls the last mile of AI. This is the gap between generating an insight and making sure it reaches the person, process, and decision where it can produce a useful result. Jit argues that many companies are facing an execution problem rather than a shortage of technology. Models are widely available, and teams can build demonstrations at remarkable…

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Evan Konwiser, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at American Express Global Business Travel, about the role AI can play across search, booking, disruption support, expense management, and the wider managed travel experience.

Turning AI Experiments Into Everyday Work With Omnisend
Would employees use AI differently if a practical project could earn them a 2 to 4 percent salary increase? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome back Rytis Lauris, CEO and co-founder of Omnisend. We last spoke in December 2022, before generative AI became part of almost every technology and workplace conversation. This time, we examine why so many company AI projects attract attention during a demonstration but never become part of the work people do each day. Rytis calls this the "beautiful junk" trap. A prototype can look impressive, yet employees return to the old process when…
