    AI that is already delivering results

    300 to 600 hours reclaimed every single week. Ticket creation cut by 75%. These are not projections. This is what DocuSign is actually seeing from Atlassian's Rovo rollout right now. New episode of The Ravit Show is live with Shivi Singh Verma, MBA, PMP®, CSM®, PMI-ACP®, ITIL®, Senior Manager of Engineering at Docusign, recorded at Team '26 in Anaheim. If you have been waiting for an enterprise AI deployment story that goes past pilots and demos, this is the one to watch. Shivi leads GenAI and AI Agentic strategy at DocuSign. They have actually done the hard work most companies are still talking about. Phased rollout, real guardrails, measured ROI, and a clear plan for what comes next. Their philosophy on this is sharp: adopting AI at scale requires foundational trust, robust governance, and clear guardrails. Not optional, not later, on day one. What we got into: - The tipping point. What finally convinced DocuSign to move forward with Rovo. There is a specific moment Shivi described that I think every engineering leader weighing this decision needs to hear. - The phased rollout. What the pilot looked like, what surprised Shivi as they expanded beyond it, and the guardrails they put in place that they would recommend to other enterprises starting today. This is the playbook section. - How they actually measured ROI. Most companies struggle to prove AI value to leadership. DocuSign did not. I asked Shivi how they measured the 300 to 600 hours weekly and the 75% ticket reduction, and what convinced their leadership these gains were real and sustainable. The answer is more disciplined than I expected. - What comes next. DocuSign is planning to let non-technical teams build their own governed agents through Rovo Studio, and shift from reactive AI to proactive AI. We spent time on what that future looks like, and what they are doing now to prepare for it. - The line from Shivi that stayed with me: AI at enterprise scale is not a model problem. It is a trust problem. Get the governance right first and the productivity gains follow. Skip that step and the project will not survive its first incident. If you are an engineering leader, a CIO, or anyone trying to build the business case for enterprise AI inside your own company, watch this one. Shivi gives you the playbook. Big thank you to Shivi for the openness about what worked and what was harder than expected. And to the Atlassian team for the front-row access at Team '26. #data #ai #atlassian #team26 #theravitshow

    Atlassian’s AI Strategy: From Teamwork Graph to Agent Orchestration

    I had a blast chatting with Sherif Mansour, Head of AI at Atlassian, at Team '26 in Anaheim. If you want to understand what Atlassian actually shipped this year and why it matters, this is the conversation to watch. Sherif is the person inside Atlassian who has been thinking about AI longest and hardest. He runs Atlassian Intelligence, the generative AI platform that powers Rovo, the Teamwork Graph, and the agent experiences across Jira, Confluence, and Loom. When the entire company stage talks about AI for two hours, Sherif is one of the people who actually built what they are talking about. That made this conversation different from most AI interviews you will hear this year. What we covered: The keynote in his own words. Atlassian announced AI for developers, service teams, product teams, agents in Jira, and a brand new Product Collection. I asked Sherif what excites him most across all of it. His answer surprised me. Teamwork Graph, opened up. The 150 billion connection graph is now accessible to any agent through MCP, CLI, and Forge connectors. I asked Sherif what "opening it up" actually means in practice, and what changes for builders outside Atlassian who want to plug in. Agent orchestration in Jira. What it looks like when an agent is not just answering questions but coordinating work across an entire project. Sherif walked through how Atlassian thinks about keeping humans in the loop where it matters, and where to get out of the way. AI mythbusting. Sherif came in with strong opinions on the myths he is tired of hearing. We spent real time here. If you work in or around enterprise AI, this section alone is worth the watch. The line that stayed with me: the hardest problem in enterprise AI is not making models smarter. It is making them aware of how your company actually works. Everything Atlassian shipped at Team '26 traces back to that one bet. Big thank you to Sherif for the depth, the candor, and the patience with my follow-up questions. And to the Atlassian team for the front-row access at Team '26. #data #ai #atlassian #team26 #theravitshow

    CosmosDB Conf 2026 Key Takeaways: OpenAI Scale, Agent Memory & AI-Native Databases

    What happens when the database becomes an active participant in AI applications instead of just a place to store data? In this session of The Ravit Show, I sat down with Jay Gordon and Patty Chow to unpack the biggest announcements and takeaways from CosmosDB Conf!!!! One theme stood out throughout the conference: AI is not just changing applications. It's changing the database itself. We discussed: - How OpenAI scales from zero to millions of queries per second - Why Walmart relies on globally distributed architectures to keep checkout systems running during failures - How vector search, full-text search, and hybrid search are becoming native database capabilities - The rise of agent memory architectures and AI-native applications - Why developers need real-time visibility into query costs - How to think about CosmosDB vs Azure DocumentDB based on workload requirements - What the Azure CosmosDB Agent Kit means for developers building AI-powered systems One of my biggest takeaways was that retrieval is increasingly moving into the database layer itself. Instead of stitching together multiple services, developers can now work with a more unified approach to search, AI, and data. If you're building AI applications, working with data infrastructure, or trying to understand where databases are headed next, this conversation is worth watching. The full interview is now live. What was your biggest takeaway from CosmosDB Conf this year? #data #ai #azure #cosmosDB #microsoft #api #microservices #theravitshow

    Rubrik Forward 2026 Key Announcements

    BREAKING from Rubrik!!!! They just made the most aggressive bet I have seen on where enterprise security is heading. I interviewed Anneka Gupta, their Chief Product Officer, right as it all went public at Rubrik FORWARD on The Ravit Show. Two announcements came out of Las Vegas this week. First, Rubrik AI. The platform itself is now an agent. You define the outcome, recover clean, contain the blast radius, restore the business, and Rubrik AI reasons over your data, identities, and deployed agents to deliver it. Recovery sequences that took human teams weeks now finish in minutes. Every action stays auditable, attributable, and reversible. Second, Rubrik Agent Cloud for Anthropic's Claude Code and Claude Cowork. Claude is being adopted faster than any agentic technology Rubrik has seen. These agents write, push, and deploy code on their own, while enterprise security was built assuming a human stays in the loop. RAC closes that gap with real-time governance through SAGE and the industry's only Agent Rewind, which reverses an agent's actions and recovers the codebase even when a mistake outruns version control. Here is why these two launches are really one story. Rubrik's Zero Labs research found 86 percent of firms expect AI agents to outpace their existing security capabilities. Most vendors respond to that stat by selling more visibility. Rubrik's answer is different: if threats and agents move at machine speed, defense and recovery have to move at machine speed too. So they built an agent to protect you from agents. That framing is what I pushed Anneka on in our conversation. We got into what a runaway AI risk actually looks like inside a security environment, and how Agentic Guardrails stop one before it spreads. Which parts of a multi-week recovery workflow are genuinely automated and which still need a human call. How one agent reasons across Rubrik Security Cloud and Rubrik Agent Cloud at the same time, spanning data, identity, and third-party agents. The role of identity in agentic resilience. And why Databricks Unity Catalog was chosen as the first native lakehouse integration for RAC, with more connectors coming. My take after 750 plus interviews in this space: every enterprise I talk to is racing to deploy agents, and almost none of them can answer one question. What happens when an agent does something wrong? Observability tells you what happened. Rewind lets you undo it. That difference is going to define the next phase of enterprise AI, because the companies that win with agents will not be the ones that deployed fastest. They will be the ones that stayed in control. #data #ai #cybersecurity #theravitshow
