    Artemis in Action

    We built a working AI agent in 5 minutes. Not a demo. Not a prototype. A live agent managing my inbox. I sat down with Akshhat at the Kore.ai office in Hyderabad, and one thing became very clear. The prototyping era is over. Organizations in healthcare and banking, some of the most regulated industries on the planet, are now deploying 50 to 100+ agents to run complex, real-world workflows. This is production, not experimentation. But here is what surprised me most. You do not need to be a massive enterprise to do this. As a content creator, my biggest bottleneck is a flooded inbox. So Akshhat challenged me to build an Inbox Assistant Agent on the new Kore.ai Agent Platform, the Artemis edition. Here is how we did it in 5 minutes with zero code: - We started with Arch, the AI agent architect. Plain natural language commands. No coding. - We uploaded my existing SOP document directly into the chat. The platform ingested it, broke down the requirements, and structured the architecture on its own. - It designed a multi-agent topology. An Inbox Agent to read and draft responses. A Reviewer Agent to enforce quality control before anything goes out. - Governance was built in from the start. Deterministic guidelines and custom guardrails keep the agents from hallucinating or going off-script. - Before deployment, the platform automatically ran 100 test conversations to benchmark safety, accuracy, and responsiveness. Evaluation first, deployment second. - We connected my Gmail securely in seconds. The agent went live in the background. This is why analysts are paying attention. Kore.ai was just named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Conversational AI Platforms and a Leader in The Forrester Wave for Conversational AI. Very few vendors hold both. The paradigm has shifted. We are moving from test-driven development to autonomous execution with human escalation built in. If you can write out your business process, you can build an agent to run it. That is the takeaway. Thank you Akshhat and the Kore.ai team for the walkthrough. Are you integrating agentic workflows into your daily operations yet? Let's discuss in the comments. #aiagents #agenticai #koreai #enterpriseai #conversationalai #generativeai #dataandai #theravitshow

    Inside Kore.ai's Agentic AI Architecture: A Hyderabad Office Visit

    900 people. Two floors. One question I kept asking everyone at Kore.ai's Hyderabad office: what happens when the AI is wrong. The answer I got back, again and again, is why I think this company is built differently. Most companies bolt AI features onto old infrastructure. Kore.ai didn't. Santhosh Kumar Myadam, who has been there 9 years, told me they rebuilt the entire stack from scratch to stay model ready. Product owners get an AI architect. Developers stay inside their own coding tools using MCP. CXOs get one screen to see every agent running across the company. Sriharsha Nalluri showed me Arch, their AI co-pilot for building agents. You can describe what you want in plain English, or hand it an SOP document and let it work from that. It runs its own testing loops. Simple workflows hit 90% production readiness in 10 to 20 minutes. I built one myself. It was easier than I expected. Prathyusha G. and Spandana Kodali walked me through the harder problem: getting AI to work in regulated industries. Their answer is what they call governed autonomy. A reasoning engine handles the thinking. A separate deterministic engine enforces the rules. That combination is what convinces banks and hospitals to trust AI with real decisions. Girish Ahankari talked about what actually breaks agent projects at scale: prompt chains that grow to 400 lines and become impossible to audit. Their blueprint language compresses that down to 50 lines anyone can read. Built in PII redaction and bias checks come standard. Deployment timelines drop from months to weeks. Abhijit Mhetre summed up why the company has lasted. 12 years in this space, named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant four times running. The lesson from this visit: the companies winning in agentic AI aren't the ones with the most features. They're the ones who rebuilt their foundation early enough to keep up. #data #ai #enterpriseai #agenticai #generativeai #aiorchestration #koreai #theravitshow

    Why Generic AI Isn't Enough for Enterprise | Observe.AI CTO

    I had a blast chatting with Jithendra Vepa, CTO and Co-founder of Observe.AI, on The Ravit Show at MongoDB.local Bangalore. Jithendra has a PhD in speech technology and has spent years deep in speech recognition, NLP, and voice AI. He is not someone who got into AI because it became trendy. He has been building domain-specific AI systems long before the current wave, and it shows in how he thinks about the problem. Here is what we got into. -- We started with Observe.AI itself. What they are building, what problem they set out to solve, and why it matters for enterprises dealing with customer conversations at scale. Observe.AI is a contact center AI platform that helps businesses analyze customer interactions, coach agents in real time, and improve performance across support and sales. More than 300 organizations use it. They process millions of support touchpoints daily. -- That volume is where the database conversation gets real. I asked Jithendra what specifically made MongoDB the right fit for that kind of AI and data workload. When you are running models on millions of unstructured conversations every day, the database decision is not theoretical. His answer was practical and specific.We talked about what changes as enterprises move from AI pilots to real deployment. What MongoDB made easier for the Observe.AI team and for their customers that would have been much harder otherwise. This part is useful for anyone trying to figure out the gap between a working demo and a working product. -- We got into the wins and patterns that have stood out as Observe.AI has scaled. Customer outcomes, operational improvements, how teams are actually using the product once it is embedded. The patterns here tell you a lot about where enterprise AI is actually delivering value versus where it is still a slide deck. -- Jithendra gave the keynote at the event. I asked him what the biggest takeaway he wanted the room to leave with was. His answer came from someone who has built a 40 billion parameter contact center LLM and trains domain-specific models instead of relying on generic ones. That distinction matters more than most people realize. -- We closed on the signal versus hype question. His advice for founders and enterprise teams trying to decide where to place their bets right now was grounded in years of shipping, not months of experimenting. A few things stayed with me. Generic AI is not enough for enterprise. Domain-specific models built on domain-specific data is where the real moat lives. The companies winning in AI are not the ones with the most models. They are the ones with the most structured access to the right data at the right moment. Contact centers are one of the first places where AI is delivering measurable ROI at scale. What is happening there is a preview of what is coming for the rest of the enterprise. #data #ai #mongodb #mongodblocal #theravitshow

    The Future of Coding? Build Apps with AI No Code

    Sat down with Mukund Jha, Founder and CEO of Emergent, on The Ravit Show at MongoDB.local Bangalore. Mukund is not new to building. He was part of the team that built Dunzo, founded startups before that, and has deep technical roots in ML and NLP. What he is doing now with Emergent is one of the most interesting vibe-coding stories happening right now. The company recently crossed $100 million in ARR, raised close to $200 million from Creaegis, Amazon, Ranjan Pai's Claypond, and others, and the numbers underneath are just as real as the funding. Here is what we got into. We started from the beginning. What Emergent actually is, the problem that made him want to start the company, and what it looks like in practice today. You describe what you want in plain English, and autonomous AI agents build, test, and deploy the full-stack app for you. Frontend, backend, database, hosting. All handled. The scale is hard to ignore. 10 million apps built across 190 countries. Deployment rates doubled in three months. Two thirds of power users are now taking complex apps live. This is not a demo product. This is a company that hit $100 million ARR eight months after public launch. We got into the database decision. Emergent tested PostgreSQL early on and ran into schema migration loops as agents tried to adapt apps while users kept changing requirements in real time. Mukund walked me through why MongoDB Atlas became the default for every app on the platform, and why the flexible document model maps naturally to how agents actually work. We talked about what is happening as more of these apps move from prototype to production. What MongoDB made easier that would have been much harder otherwise. And the patterns emerging in what people are building, which tell you something about where software is headed. Mukund gave the keynote at the event. I asked him what the one thing he wanted the room to walk away with was. His answer was clear and specific, and worth hearing from a founder who has already shipped at this scale. We closed on India. What the Indian builder community means to him, and why. A few things stayed with me. - The vibe-coding wave is not a toy. When your platform has 10 million apps live and the company just crossed $100 million ARR, the conversation shifts from whether this works to how it scales. - Schema flexibility is not a nice-to-have for AI-native products. It is the reason the agents can actually function when users change their minds every five minutes. - Some of the most interesting software being built right now is being built by people who do not call themselves developers. That changes things. #data #ai #mongodb #mongodblocal #theravitshow
