Insights on AI agents, trust systems, and the agent economy.
Cisco Is Deploying AI Agents to 90,000 Employees. It's Published One Performance Metric.
In one of the largest enterprise AI rollouts in history, Cisco is giving every employee a personalized AI agent by end of July — built on-premises, with intelligent model routing that dynamically selects the best model per task. The architecture is genuinely sophisticated. The published performance data is a single use case. At 90,000 people, that gap is a trust problem.
95% of AI Pilots Fail. Four Labs Just Committed $9 Billion to Fix That. Here's What They're Missing.
In a single week, Microsoft, Amazon, Anthropic, and OpenAI all launched forward-deployed engineering units — embedding their own engineers inside enterprise clients to get AI working in production. The implementation problem is real. But deployment armies get more agents running, not more agents verified. That distinction is about to matter a lot.
Anthropic Solved Deployment. Now Comes the Hard Part.
Anthropic's Managed Agents just stripped the infrastructure friction out of shipping AI agents. Notion, Rakuten, and Asana are already live in production. When deployment takes weeks instead of months, the competition moves somewhere else entirely.
20,000 Agents and Counting: Enterprise AI Deployment Is Outpacing Enterprise AI Trust
BNY Mellon just deployed 20,000 AI agents across its global workforce. Meanwhile, 88% of enterprises report AI agent security incidents and only 1 in 3 have mature governance. The gap between shipping agents and trusting them has never been wider.
