Season 1 Episode 3 | Whoever Owns the Workflow Owns the Enterprise | Sarup Paul Why Sarup Is Betting on Workflow Orchestration as the AI Control Plane ServiceNow's CRM product lead Sarup Paul draws a hard distinction between engagement-layer platforms and resolution-layer platforms, arguing that complex enterprise workflows,not the UI or the model will determine who controls the agentic enterprise. Paul also reveals how ServiceNow's AI Control Tower is positioning the company as the governance layer for all AI agents across the enterprise, not just its own.

About Speak to an Agent: Speak to an Agent explores what it really takes to bring AI into large organizations, why AI can't fix a problem you haven't already solved, why real understanding matters more than a polished voice, and why the domain expert who knows how to use AI is becoming the most valuable person in the business. The show features the leaders, founders, and technologists building and deploying AI at scale, and they get candid about what's working, what isn't, and what changes now that machines can reason, plan, and act at a human level, and sometimes beyond it. If you're responsible for putting AI to work inside your organization, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Season 1 Episode 2 | Everything Is a Code Problem | Uri Eliabayev Founder of Israel's Biggest AI Community, on Why AI Strategy Is Really an Engineering Problem Uri Eliabayev, who founded Machine & Deep Learning Israel, now the country's largest AI community with tens of thousands of members, joins Sascha Poggemann to explain why he evaluates AI models on task-specific outcomes rather than benchmarks, and how reframing any problem as a code problem changes what teams believe is possible to automate. They also discuss why AI adoption succeeds fastest when it aligns with employees' own motivations rather than being mandated top-down, and why enterprises should embrace an iterative, patient approach instead of expecting one-shot results. 👉 NiCE: https://www.nice.com 🔗Connect with Uri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/urieliabayev/ 🔗Machine & Deep Learning Isreal https://machinelearning.co.il/ 🔗Connect with Neeraj: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neerajsverma/
