Technologist - AI native Outcomes as a Service

AI systems fail in either:

A) data drift
B) feedback starvation

Which one have you battled more?

[Ankit Buti @ankitbuti]

Watching teams adopt AI in marketing taught me something unexpected.

AI didn’t replace creativity.
It exposed confusion.
The teams that struggled most weren’t lacking tools.
They lacked positioning.

AI just made that visible, faster.

If AI amplified your marketing today,
what would it amplify: clarity or chaos?

[Ankit Buti @ankitbuti]

Satya Nadela is basically describing the death of the traditional SaaS model.

Explains the AI agentic future, and where the "value" lives.

Because business logic is moving from the software application to the AI agents.

Currently, you buy software for its specific features and rules.

Nadella argues that in the future, software apps will essentially become dumb databases ("CRUD") or simple tools.

The AI Agent will hold all the intelligence, orchestration, and reasoning, simply updating the databases as needed. The software becomes a commodity; the AI becomes the "brain" and the worker.

Just wrapped up at #NearCon

Great conversations. Strong builders. Clear shift toward real utility over hype.

Who else was there at @NEARProtocol event.

What was your biggest takeaway?

AI isn’t killing #Sales jobs.

Bad sales processes are.

Most teams don’t need smarter AI.
They need fewer handoffs, fewer tools, fewer meetings.
AI works best when sales motion is already simple.

What’s slowing deals more in your org:
technology gaps or process debt?

[Ankit Buti @ankitbuti]

Nothing staged. Nothing fancy.

Just a reminder of how much time teams spend jumping between tools, updates, and decisions.

What stood out to me wasn’t the tech,
it was how much effort goes into coordination instead of execution.

Small frictions add up faster than we realize.

What’s one part of your workday that feels unnecessarily complicated?

Introducing Agentic Vision — a new frontier AI capability in Gemini 3 Flash that converts image understanding from a static act into an agentic process.

By combining visual reasoning with code execution, one of the first tools supported by Agentic Vision, the model grounds answers in visual evidence and delivers a consistent 5-10% quality boost across most vision benchmarks. Here’s how the agentic ‘Think, Act, Observe’ loop works:
— Think: The model analyzes an image query then architects a multi-step plan
— Act: The model then generates and executes Python code to actively manipulate or analyze images
— Observe: The transformed image is appended to the model's context window, allowing it to inspect the new data before generating a final response to the initial image query
