In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici sits down with Katie Fortunato, Co-Founder and EVP of Innovation & Platform Strategy at Hire Innovations AI, to discuss how AI is reshaping hiring, innovation, and the future of work.
Katie explains how her team built an AI innovation incubator to safely test new ideas without risking their core enterprise business. She also shares how AI is enabling faster product launches, leaner teams, and entirely new business models — including solopreneurs and fractional work.
The conversation dives into hiring trends, AI-driven product development, vibe coding, tech stack consolidation, and why companies that embrace experimentation will move faster than those waiting on the sidelines.
They also discuss how AI is changing talent acquisition, why healthcare and AI engineering roles are growing, and how founders can build faster using modern AI tools.
If you're interested in AI innovation, hiring trends, solopreneurs, and building products faster with AI, this episode is worth watching.

In this episode, we sit down with the founder and CEO of Sift AI to unpack a problem most founders don’t even realize they have: they’re solving the wrong problems.
From customer discovery and validation to the rise of “vibe founding,” we explore why asking for help with fundraising might actually mean you’re not ready yet—and how AI is both helping and hurting founders in that process.
We also dive into how tools like ChatGPT fall short when it comes to iteration, context, and real business building—and what a more structured, founder-first AI platform could look like.
If you're building (or thinking about building) something, this episode will challenge how you think about strategy, validation, and using AI the right way.
⏰ TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 – Most founders don’t know what they need help with
00:23 – The real reason you’re struggling with fundraising
01:34 – From startups to AI: the founder’s journey

In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici sits down with James Luan from Zilliz to talk about how AI is already changing the day to day work of engineers. James explains why coding agents are already taking over parts of his workflow, how vector databases became a core building block for modern AI systems, and why retrieval still matters even in a world obsessed with bigger models.
They also get into the real mechanics behind RAG, hallucinations, MCP, long term memory for agents, and the challenges of building production grade AI systems that can search, reason, and scale reliably. If you want a practical conversation about where agent infrastructure is going and what engineers should actually pay attention to, this episode is worth watching.

In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici sits down with Dror Asaf, co-founder and CTO of Coval, to talk about what it actually takes to bring agentic AI into enterprise operations. They get into why supply chain and operations are still surprisingly archaic, why trust and security are some of the biggest blockers to adoption, and how enterprise teams can use AI to remove bottlenecks without removing human decision-making.
Dror also shares how Coval is approaching enterprise AI differently, from on-prem deployments and Microsoft Teams integrations to strong governance and compliance layers. They also dig into the future of jobs, why AI will likely reshape work more than eliminate it, and why the people who know how to leverage these tools will have a massive advantage going forward.
