Episode Details

Large companies already run on thousands of APIs and internal systems, which makes connecting AI to the systems that actually run a business far more complex than it first appears.

Sean Blanchfield, Founder of Jentic, discusses why this integration challenge is becoming one of the biggest obstacles for enterprise AI and why he believes a new infrastructure layer will be needed to manage how AI interacts with enterprise software. With Jentic, he is building technology designed to securely connect AI agents to those systems and enable automation across complex organisations.
