    #30 - AI agents are moving faster than you thought - Matt Yanchyshyn

    AI agents in business aren't something that will happen in the future. They’re already here, and they're scaling a lot more rapidly than we expected. In this episode of The Deep View: Conversations, Editor-in-Chief Jason Hiner talks to Matt Yanchyshyn, who leads AWS Marketplace at Amazon Web Services. Yanchyshyn's team helps organizations discover, buy, and deploy software on AWS, and one of the biggest shifts they’ve seen over the past six months is the explosion of AI agents in real-world use cases. When AWS unveiled its agent marketplace in mid-2025, the internal goal was initially to launch with 50 agents. By early 2026, that number had surged past 2,600 agents, making it the fastest-growing category in the history of the world’s largest cloud platform. So what’s driving that surge? Yanchyshyn breaks it down. In this conversation, we cover:+ Which types of AI agents are seeing the fastest enterprise adoption+ The industries and use cases leading the charge+ How companies are handling data security and sovereignty concerns+ The role of multi-model orchestration in agent effectiveness+ How AWS is using agents internally to drive lots of different wins If you're trying to understand where AI agents are actually being deployed — not the hype, but the reality — then this conversation will reset your expectations. It will help you see where agentic AI is already delivering business value, and where it’s heading next.

    #29 - How AI could reshape human memory and attention - Bobak Tavangar

    AI could change the way we remember, and the way we pay attention.  In this episode of The Deep View: Conversations, Editor-in-Chief Jason Hiner sits down with Bobak Tavangar, CEO of Brilliant Labs, one of the most intriguing startups in AI hardware today.  While trillion-dollar giants like Meta and Google race to define the future of AI glasses, Brilliant Labs is taking a radically different path: building in public, going open-source with both software and hardware, and centering their next product, the Halo glasses, around something deeply human.  The focus? A conversational AI agent for your long-term memories and conversations.  This isn’t just about smarter wearables. It’s about a bigger idea:  + Can AI help us be more present, not less? + Could technology support memory, reflection, and intention instead of distraction? + What does privacy look like when AI can recall your life?  Jason and Bobak also explore:  + What he learned during his time at Apple + Why AI hardware is one of the hardest frontiers in tech + The challenging process of finding a co-founder + Bobak’s philosophy on communicating on social media with purpose, not hype  Bobak is one of the most thoughtful founders in the AI space, consistently elevating the conversation beyond features and into questions of values, agency, and human experience.  If you care about where AI, wearables, memory, and attention intersect, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.  Subscribe to the podcast for more unique conversations with the brightest minds solving the biggest challenges in AI.  And don't miss The Deep View daily newsletter.

    #28 - How to solve the ROI problem for AI inference - Rob May

    How do you make AI inference affordable enough to deliver real ROI in the enterprise?  In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talk with Rob May, founder and CEO of Neurometric AI, to break down one of the most urgent challenges in AI today: the soaring cost of inference, and how to bring it down without sacrificing performance.  Today's AI is increasingly powerful, but it’s also expensive. For enterprises to see real returns, inference costs have to drop dramatically. Neurometric believes the answer lies in "thinking algorithms" paired with small, specialized models and workload-specific optimization. This approach can significantly reduce costs while often improving accuracy and efficiency. Rob walks through how this works in practice and why it matters as AI moves from experimentation to scaled deployment.  We also talk about:+ Why the current AI boom pulled Rob back into operating a startup after multiple exits and a move into investing + How founders should think about AI infrastructure, efficiency, and long-term economics + What startup leaders can do to get journalists to pay attention — and a pivotal early-career conversation that led to coverage which changed the trajectory of one of Rob’s companies  If you’re building, deploying, or investing in AI and wrestling with the economics of inference, this conversation offers a clear, practical perspective on what comes next.  Thank you to our sponsor, Deel, an AI-native platform for HR, IT, and payroll.

    #27: How AI Is Changing the Way Engineers Review Code - Merrill Lutsky

    In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Merrill Lutsky, cofounder and CEO of Graphite — a company using artificial intelligence to transform how engineers write, review, and ship code. What started as an internal tool to streamline software deployment has grown into something larger: a vision for how AI can augment, not replace, the craft of engineering — and reshape how teams collaborate at scale. Merrill walks us through Graphite’s early pivots, the development of its AI reviewer Diamond, and how the company is rethinking the bottleneck that stands between building and shipping code. We also go beyond the product to explore deeper questions:Will coding become fully automated?How do we balance speed and safety in an era of AI-written software?And what does craftsmanship mean when machines start to create?

    #26: How AI Accelerates Drug Development - Patrick Leung

    In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Patrick Leung, CTO of Faro Health — a startup using artificial intelligence to streamline and reimagine clinical trials. What began as a push to speed up drug development turned into something bigger: a mission to reduce suffering, elevate consciousness, and reshape how we think about AI’s role in health and society. Patrick walks us through the challenges of clinical trial design, the limits of large language models, and how thoughtful AI implementation could unlock faster, safer, and more inclusive access to medicine. We also go beyond tech to explore deep questions: Is AI truly intelligent? How do we balance speed and safety? And are we building tools — or something closer to gods?

    #25: AI, Voice, and the Shifting Human Experience - Russ d'Sa

    In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Russ d'Sa, founder and CEO of LiveKit — the open-source infrastructure powering voice mode for OpenAI, Character.AI, and a fast-emerging voice-first internet. Russ walks us through how a pandemic side project evolved into the nervous system for the next generation of AI-powered voice applications. But this episode goes far beyond infrastructure. We dive into big, human questions: What does it mean to interact naturally with AI? Are we moving back toward voice as the dominant interface? How will AI reshape work, leisure, and even our sense of identity? From the democratization of high-tech tools to the societal shifts driven by intelligent systems, this is a wide-ranging and deeply thoughtful conversation on what comes next in the age of synthetic intelligence.
