    961: Distributed Artificial Superintelligence, with Dr. Vijoy Pandey

    Dr. Vijoy Pandey returns to the show to talk to Jon Krohn about Cisco’s work to advance medicine and mitigate the impact of climate change with distributed artificial super-intelligence. Dr. Vijoy Pandey believes in a future where humans and AI agents work together to tackle our biggest challenges. For this to happen, we will need to have multi-agent systems and open-source platforms that let agents work together, avoiding the phenomenon of AI agents being “isolated geniuses” unable to collaborate. He elaborates on what Cisco is doing to close this gap. This episode is brought to you by the⁠ ⁠⁠Dell⁠⁠⁠, by⁠ ⁠⁠Intel⁠⁠⁠, by ⁠Fabi⁠ and by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Scaylor⁠.

    956: From Agent Demo to Enterprise Product (with Ease!) feat. Salesforce’s Tyler Carlson

    #Sponsored SVP, Head of Product for Salesforce’s AppExchange & Ecosystem, Tyler Carlson, talks to Jon Krohn about taking AI agents from prototype to enterprise-grade production with the Agentforce 360 Platform. Though we may now have plenty of tools to build demos for AI agents, most teams still struggle to turn early prototypes into secure and scalable products. With Salesforce’s Agentforce 360 Platform, users can build customer-focused agentic applications with a multi-LLM planner service for reasoning and logic, as well as a new scripting language for deterministic control over how agents interact with the contextual layer of the Salesforce data model. Learn how Salesforce’s WYSIWYG schema builder helps customers build fully functional applications with low- and pro-code capabilities, the common mistakes that innovators make when moving from prototype to production, and whether AI agents might replace non-agentic AI applications in this Feature Friday.
