I just read “Enterprise AI’s Reality Check” by Kapil Venkatachalam at FTV Capital, and it's a breath of fresh air amidst the AI hype. Kapil cuts right to it: amid billions in infrastructure bets and LLM growth, the real opportunities lie deeper—at the application layer, where AI directly powers business value. From personalized assistants adding real revenue at companies like Toast, Taco Bell, and Bank of America, to startups like Orbus Software, Windward, Arden Insurance, and Kore.ai, AI is starting to deliver beyond pilot illusions.. If you're focused on bridging the gap between AI experimentation and business outcomes, this is a must-read! #aiforreal #AIAdoption #AIAdoption #AIApplications #DataGovernance #AIInfrastructure #AIAtScale https://lnkd.in/ggzyBexW

Interesting - the key will be how brands leverage these predictions to drive velocity, especially 1, 2, 6, 8 and 10.

Launching: Chat with Priyank (beta) today on https://priyank.tech A few weeks ago, I launched priyank.tech as a single home for my work, projects, and notes. Today I’m adding a faster way to get to the signal: Skip the scrolling, ask.  “Chat with Priyank” answers questions about my projects, views, and skills by pulling the most relevant context and giving you a concise, useful response. What’s under the hood (and why): - Human‑verified access - Conversations start only after the system knows it’s interacting with a person, not a bot. - Scope & guardrails - It only answers questions about me. When a query is out of scope or uncertain, it responds with a polite “I don’t know.” - Context engineering first (no RAG, yet!) - An analysis by industry veterans suggested that GPT-5 class models can correctly use ~85% of the provided context. I want to see how far careful, prompt, and context design can go before adding retrieval. I’ll evaluate this over the next few days and decide before graduating from beta. - Prompt caching enabled - To keep costs under control (and responses snappy), repeat prompts and shared context are cached. - Early memory layer - A lightweight short-term memory layer powers more personal, consistent answers across sessions. Try it on: https://priyank.tech   If it’s your first visit, do subscribe to my newsletter—I’ll share build notes, decisions, and lessons learned there. Starter prompts: “Tell me about your AI and Generative AI expertise “How can you help me become an AI first organization?” Feedback is welcome, especially edge cases and failure modes.  #AI #product #buildinpublic #LLM

At #NRF2026, we showed how Google turns high-friction moments into effortless opportunities for brands like Kroger, Lowe’s, Papa John’s, and Woolworths. With Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience, we’re bridging sales and service using agentic solutions that can see what a shopper sees and act on their behalf—with clear consent and control. This is powered by our Shopping agent (complex reasoning, multimodal inputs, consented actions) and Customer Experience Agent Studio, which lets businesses build, test, and deploy personalized multimodal agents at scale. By connecting these agents directly, every interaction stays grounded in historical context—whether a customer is ordering a pizza or choosing a compatible kitchen range. From a UX perspective, what excites me most is not just what these agents can do—but how they do it: transparent, consent-driven experiences that earn trust one interaction at a time. Extremely proud of our team and the work we are doing to build trusted agentic experiences for the world. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gifM3Ef7

The shift to Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols is fundamentally changing business workflows. Watch this insightful interview with Yashodha Bhavnani, Head of AI at Box, as she discusses how Box is partnering with Google Cloud to deploy intelligent agents powered by Gemini and Vertex AI. Unstructured data—like those thousands of insurance claims or 100-page lease agreements—is finally becoming accessible! Learn how Box Extract and Box Automate are turning hours of manual work into minutes of querying, unlocking the 90% of enterprise content that has historically been hard to use.

As we continue to help our customers and partners transform consumer experiences across industry sectors from healthcare to retail to media & entertainment, I am incredibly excited to share the announcement of Google Cloud’s strategic partnership with BRAHMA AI — a pioneering company scaling high-fidelity, interactive “digital humans” for global enterprises. Hear it from CEO Prabhu Narasimhan himself — or rather, from his digital human “ATMAN”.
