Critical infrastructure teams are turning to AI to reduce repetitive engineering work and manage complex programs more efficiently.
@ashimmy speaks with Sean Shahini, CEO and Co-founder of Inorsa, about Nora Intelligence, a new platform that brings specialized AI agents together to support infrastructure planning, engineering, and operations.
The conversation covers how Nora works across CAD data, jurisdictional requirements, structural capacity, and financial modeling, giving teams a way to automate time-consuming workflows while maintaining visibility across large infrastructure programs.

Is the media pushing an 'AI is bad' narrative because it gets clicks? Our media reflects us, and engagement drives content. Seems like the AI fear-mongering is getting more airtime. #AIMedia#MediaNarrative
Mike Vizard interviews ABBYY’s Jon Knisley on why falling AI token prices can still drive higher enterprise spend—and why workflow value, accuracy and ROI matter more than model cost alone.

AI is giving scammers the ability to create convincing impersonation campaigns at a scale that traditional defenses were never designed to handle.
@ashimmy spoke with Israel Mazin, Co-founder and CEO of @memcyco, about how AI is changing website impersonation, account takeover, and fraud. The conversation examined why fake sites, malicious ads, social profiles, and agent identities are creating new risks for banks, retailers, and their customers.
Israel also discussed how Memcyco uses real-time signals and AI-driven detection to help organizations identify scams earlier, block fraudulent activity, and prepare for a future where autonomous agents increasingly transact on behalf of people.

Tax compliance is becoming a strong test case for how enterprises can apply agentic AI without compromising accuracy.
@ashimmy spoke with @HugoSarrazin, CEO of @Avalara, about how the company layers agentic AI around its deterministic tax engine to automate compliance workflows while preserving audit-ready results.
The conversation also covered Avalara’s use of proprietary transaction data, MCP and A2A workflows, and how tax services are being embedded into tools such as Slack, email, and ERP systems. Hugo also previewed CRUSH 2026 in Fort Lauderdale, taking place September 22–24.

Enterprise AI agents need more than powerful models. They need reliable access to the right knowledge.
@ashimmy spoke with Aaron Kao, VP of Marketing at @pinecone, about why large-scale agent deployments create new challenges around retrieval, token usage, and response speed. The conversation examined Pinecone Nexus, a knowledge engine designed to pre-compile knowledge artifacts and reduce the amount of search work agents repeat at runtime.
Aaron also discussed how Nexus can operate inside a customer’s own cloud, support different model choices, and help enterprises lower token costs while keeping data within existing governance boundaries.

Database operations are becoming a new frontier for specialized AI.
@ashimmy spoke with @synhershko, CEO and Founder of @neverblinkai, about why modern data platforms need an AI database administrator that can continuously monitor, tune, and protect the serving layer as engineering teams take on more production responsibility.
The conversation covered Neverblink’s support for ClickHouse, OpenSearch, and Elasticsearch, the limits of general-purpose AI tools in highly specialized database environments, and why performance-aware automation is becoming increasingly important as coding agents make more infrastructure decisions.
