8th Light’s Post

A year or two ago, most companies were still experimenting with AI in limited, superficial ways. A chatbot here, a 'smart' recommendation engine there. Nothing mission-critical. We are far beyond that now. Behold the era of Agentic AI, which really ramped up alongside LLM maturity in back half of 2025. Today, AI has become embedded in operations, helping brands expand and experiment faster than ever. It’s accelerating breakthroughs in pharma, booking and rebooking travel, and transforming how we shop. In this issue of The Spark Engine, 8th Light’s newsletter, we explore how teams are using AI to think bigger while staying reliable and accountable to everyone, from medical patients to regulatory bodies. #thesparkengine
