New Agentware Podcast (Book Review Discussion Generated by Google NotebookLM)
✨🎧🚨New Agentware Podcast: A NotebookLM-Generated Review of my AI Book, "Agentware".
✨🤯This audio "review" discussion of 2 AI 'reviewers' was completely generated by Google's experimental NotebookLM. It's 11:23 long and all I did was provide it my full book manuscript. Blew my mind.
🎧💬Have a listen and let me know what you think
New Book Announcement: “The Agentic Enterprise”
🤝 I'm working with companies to drive innovative agentic implementations. I’m also eager to connect with new enterprise innovators deploying AI agents. If you’re working on exciting implementations, let’s collaborate on case studies to showcase these groundbreaking solutions.
OpenAI Introduces o1
OpenAI introduces OpenAI o1, a new large language model trained with reinforcement learning to perform complex reasoning. o1 thinks before it answers—it can produce a long internal chain of thought before responding to the user.
Google NotebookLM
✨For Google users, there's an experimental feature you should try out. Upload your docs (Google Docs, PDFs, etc) into your Notebook and "chat" with them.
And they recently introduced Audio Overview in NotebookLM, which allows you to turn your PDFs, documents, slides, charts, and more into engaging audio discussions. With one click, two AI hosts start up a lively “deep dive” discussion based on your sources. They summarize your material, make connections between topics, and banter back and forth. You can even download the conversation and take it on the go.

Salesforce Launches Agentforce with Agentic Job Descriptions

✨Look closely at how Salesforce is messaging Agentforce: Designing and communicating AI agents’ roles through job descriptions we already understand will make them much easier to integrate into enterprises. By clearly defining their role and responsibilities, AI agents will soon seamlessly co-exist in current org charts.
Here are the clear parallels:
🔹 Role Definition: Specifying exactly what the AI agent is responsible for.
🔹 Data Access: Outlining what information the agent can use to perform its tasks.
🔹 Authorized Actions: Defining the systems and workflows the agent can interact with.
🔹 Communication Channels: Determining where and how the agent engages with users.
🔹 Trust and Security: Ensuring all interactions are secure and compliant.
So much to consider and HR needs to be leading this workforce transformation. By framing AI agents with job descriptions, we set clear expectations and guidelines—just like we do with our human colleagues. This not only streamlines integration but also fosters trust and collaboration within the organization.
