If you've ever asked an AI coding agent to help you integrate email into your app, you've probably gotten code that looks right but isn't quite right. Maybe it used an outdated endpoint. Maybe it forgot about Message Streams entirely. Maybe it hallucinated a method that doesn't exist. (We've seen all three.) AI agents are only as good as the…

Navigating Change The way we interact with software is shifting. Instead of clicking through web interfaces and learning different UIs for each system, some people are moving toward natural language as the interface - telling an AI what they want done, and it handles the task completion for them. This shift is happening now, but there's been a missing piece:…
Voice has rapidly become the main interface between enterprises and their customers. AI voice agents now handle service requests, authentication, payments, and issue resolution at scale.
