The Campaign Brief Agent That Saved Weeks of Work

Every campaign launch comes with the same overhead: write the brief, rewrite it for creative, rewrite it again for email ops, digital, and whoever else needs a version of it. Multiply that by every campaign your team runs, and weeks disappear before the work even starts. In this clip from the Thought Tank: Marketing in the Age of Agents, ThoughtSpot SVP Marketing EMEA Katie Marcham and CMO Micheline Nijmeh share the agent that changed that.

Introducing ARIA

What if you could build a data pipeline by just describing it in plain English? Sudais sits down with Maha, Astera's AI evangelist and one of the thought leaders behind ARIA, to talk about Astera's helper agents: what they are, why we built them, and where they're heading. ARIA is a set of specialized agents for Astera products like Centerprise and ReportMiner. Describe what you want, like migrating data from a SQL database to Snowflake, and the agent configures the pipeline for you.

[Webinar] Delivering HIPAA X12 Compliance with EDI Agent

Fixing 834 enrollment files, rejected 837 claims, and HIPAA X12 validation errors can consume hours every week. Every new trading partner or requirement can mean more mapping, validation, testing, and troubleshooting for healthcare EDI teams. Astera EDIConnect helps take that work off your team. Teams can automate workflows that parse and validate HIPAA X12 transactions in a no-code, drag and drop interface. Its built-in EDI Agent helps teams create and adapt flows faster, without relying on custom code or specialized EDI resources.

AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe 2026: five takeaways

Two days at RAI Amsterdam (17–18 September), nearly a hundred sessions, and energy throughout the hallways. AGNT Con + MCPCon Europe is the Agentic AI Foundation's flagship event under the Linux Foundation, and this year it consolidated the European MCP content that previously lived at MCP Dev Summit Europe. If you care about MCP, this was the place to be.

MCP vs. API: What's the Difference and When to Use Each

An API is a defined way for one piece of software to request data or actions from another. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that gives AI agents a consistent way to discover and use tools and data sources, so they don't need a custom integration for each one. The short version: MCP doesn't replace APIs. Most MCP servers call APIs behind the scenes. What MCP changes is who the interface is designed for. APIs are designed for developers who read documentation and write code.

The Next Question Matters More Than the First Answer

With Claude Dashboards entering beta, Anthropic is making it possible for people to ask quick, exploratory questions about their business data and get a dashboard back. You don't need to write SQL or build a visualization. I think that's a good thing. We've spent years trying to make analytics more accessible, and anything that shortens the path from question to answer is progress. I'm increasingly asked what the future of business intelligence looks like when AI can do more of the analysis for us.

Agentic AI Security and Governance: Risks, Controls, and a Practical Checklist

Agentic AI security is the set of controls that keep AI agents from accessing, changing, or sharing more than they should. It covers who an agent acts for, which data and tools it can use, which actions need approval, and how its activity is recorded and reviewed. AI agents are moving from pilots into daily operations. They read invoices, update records, answer customers, and trigger workflows across business systems.

LLM and AI Agent Observability: What to Monitor, Evaluate, and Test

LLM observability is the practice of collecting and analyzing data about how a language model application or AI agent behaves, including prompts, responses, tool calls, cost, speed, and errors, so teams can find problems, measure quality, and improve results. AI agents can now plan tasks, call tools, and work across business systems. That makes them powerful, and it also means a single request can involve many steps that no one sees directly.
