What's Next Is Not More AI. It's Better Foundations.

The next real advantage in artificial intelligence will not come from the next AI tool or application. It will come from a stronger data foundation beneath it. At Hitachi Vantara we work every day with customers on the data supporting their systems. That vantage point has led me to a simple conclusion: the leaders who pull ahead will not be the ones with the most advanced AI. The leaders will be those whose data foundations are strong enough so that AI can be trusted to act.

Cheap Tokens, Exploding Bills: The Hidden Cost of AI Agents

80% cheaper AI model. Nearly 2X the data warehouse bill. Switching to a cheaper AI model can cut your token costs by 80%, but it might accidentally double your public cloud data warehouse bill. In this video, we break down the "Agentic Cost Shift"—how autonomous AI agents generate hidden, high-compute SQL queries that drive up data lakehouse costs—and how to fix it using Cloudera. See where the real cost of AI is shifting.

[Finance Demo] - AgentSpot Use Case - Collections Forecast

Every month, finance teams rebuild their collections forecast by hand, copying and pasting from disconnected files and hoping nothing breaks. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Collections Forecast Agent that connects to accounting files, NetSuite, and live bookings data to automate the full monthly rebuild, reconcile actuals against forecast, and output a traceable Excel workbook your whole team can work from.

From IoT Data to AI-Ready: The Edge Solution

Is your data actually ready for AI? While companies rush to deploy machine learning models, 83% of executives realize that high-value, real-time data is trapped at the physical edge—on factory floors, inside hospitals, and at retail terminals. With billions of connected IoT devices, managing this data creates massive hidden headaches like security risks and pipeline blind spots. True AI readiness starts at the edge. Bridge the gap between your edge devices and your AI goals today.

[Product Demo] AgentSpot Use Case - PM Jira Assistant

Writing tickets is the tax every PM pays. You know exactly what needs to get built, then you spend an hour turning it into properly scoped Jira issues with acceptance criteria, labels, and the right epic. AgentSpot does the writing for you. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Product Assistant that turns a rough feature idea into fully drafted Jira tickets, pulls in context from your existing backlog so nothing gets duplicated, and files them to the right epic ready for grooming.

[Product Demo] AgentSpot Use Case - Automate Release Notes

Release notes are the thing that always gets written last, usually by whoever has the least context, usually the morning after ship day. Everything you need is already sitting in GitHub, it just isn't in a form anyone outside engineering can read. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Release Notes Workflow that reads what's been merged in GitHub, translates the changes into human-readable notes, posts them to your team's Slack channel, and keeps a running Slack canvas so every release stays in one place.

Ep 88 | AI Adoption vs. Adaptation: What Problem Are You Solving?
