  • Having Agency over AI Agents

    As AI systems become more sophisticated, there’s growing interest in AI Agents, but there is also growing confusion about what an AI Agent actually is. It is often difficult to see where the hype ends and the real-world implementations start.

  • Agile Research

    Research is a process focused on answering technical questions which, at least initially, have unknown or uncertain solutions. This is in contrast to development, which is usually focused on implementing (mostly) known solutions. While there is no clear separation between the two, it can be useful to place tasks somewhere between the two ends of the research-development continuum.

    In today’s fast changing world, innovation is the route to success for many companies. Innovation often comes from successful research, and continued innovation is almost always the product of a systematic research process.
