Episode Notes

We explore what it takes to turn powerful AI capabilities into products customers actually use and trust, from conversational intelligence and context management to human-AI collaboration, product metrics, and moving beyond AI pilot purgatory.

Key Highlights:

• What separates an AI feature or assistant from a truly agentic product capable of taking action.
• How product teams should think about context, permissions, user control, reliability, and human oversight.
• Turning calls, messages, and customer interactions into actionable insights and intelligent workflows.
• Why promising AI pilots often struggle in production  and what product teams can do differently.
• Why task completion isn't enough and how teams should think about quality, customer experience, trust, and business outcomes.
