Updated perspectives on AI, automation and digital work

Tracking the practical side of artificial intelligence.

Notes on AI agents, multimodal systems, enterprise adoption, model governance, and the changing infrastructure behind modern machine learning.

Agentic AI

Why AI agents are moving from demos to workflows

8 July 2026 · 4 min read

The next wave of AI tools is less about one-off prompts and more about systems that can plan, use tools, check results, and hand work back to humans at the right moment. The challenge is not only model capability, but process design, permissions, and monitoring.

Multimodal AI

Text, images, audio and video are becoming one interface

7 July 2026 · 3 min read

Multimodal models are changing how people interact with software. Instead of separate tools for documents, screenshots, calls, and diagrams, teams are beginning to expect AI systems that understand mixed inputs in a single workflow.

Enterprise AI

The hard part of AI adoption is organisational, not just technical

5 July 2026 · 5 min read

Many teams have experimented with generative AI, but production value depends on cleaner data, clearer ownership, realistic evaluation, and redesigned business processes. AI adoption increasingly looks like a change-management programme.

AI Infrastructure

Inference costs are reshaping AI architecture

2 July 2026 · 4 min read

As AI systems move into daily use, inference cost, latency, reliability, and data location become central design questions. Hybrid architectures, smaller specialised models, and careful caching are becoming part of the engineering conversation.
