Sometimes peopleâs greatest weakness can be their biggest strength. And in AI, it is turning out that what we thought was a weakness for Googleâthe fact that it had both a search portal and an AI chatbotâis actually an advantage. People use search and AI chatbots interchangeably, to be sure, but itâs become clear through the course of this year that an AI chatbot is not a replacement for a... Read more âș

For the last two years, the fundamental unit of generative AI development has been the "completion." You send a text prompt to a model, it sends text back, and the transaction ends. If you want to continue the conversation, you have to send the entire history back to the model again. This "stateless" architectureâembodied by Google's legacy generateContent endpointâwas perfect for simple chatbots. But as developers move toward autonomous agents... Read more âș

Gen AI in software engineering has moved well beyond autocomplete. The emerging frontier is agentic coding: AI systems capable of planning changes, executing them across multiple steps and iterating based on feedback. Yet despite the excitement around âAI agents that code,â most enterprise deployments underperform. The limiting factor is no longer the model. Itâs context: The structure, history and intent surrounding the code being changed. In other words, enterprises are... Read more âș

It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn't enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI.RAG emerged in the last couple of years to become the default approach for connecting LLMs to external knowledge. The pattern is straightforward: chunk documents, embed them into vectors, store them in a database, and retrieve the most similar passages when queries arrive. This works adequately for one-off...
