“Whenever you're trying to automate some part of a workflow, it's never the case that you could use an AI agent and that will kind of solve your problems, right? It's always, you probably have a machine learning model that's going to do some part of the job. You have deterministic code doing some part of the job.”

“I probably will go as far to say that if someone's selling you one click agents, it's pure marketing.
You don't want to buy into that.”

“To replace any critical workflow or to build something that can give you significant ROI easily takes four to six months of work, even if you have the best data layer and infrastructure layer.”
Reganti: LLM judges fail in complex AI cases due to emerging patterns
“When you go to complex use cases, it's incredibly hard to build LLM judges because you see a lot of emerging patterns. If you build a judge that would you know, test for verbosity or something like that, it turns out that you're seeing newer patterns that your…”
Reganti: Prompt injection will become a major crisis as AI goes mainstream
“I think that will be a huge problem once systems go mainstream. We're still so busy building AI products that we're not worried about security, but it will be such a huge problem to kind of especially with this non-deterministic API again, right? So you're kin…”
Reganti: Enterprise AI transformation cannot succeed as a bottom-up initiative
“It's almost always impossible for it to be bottom-up. You can't have a bunch of engineers go and get buy-in from the leader if they just don't trust in the technology, or if they have misaligned expectations about the technology, right?”
Reganti: Predefined AI evals only catch anticipated failure patterns
“The issue with just building a bunch of evaluation metrics and then having them in production is evaluation metrics catch only the errors that you're already aware of, but there can be a lot of emerging patterns that you understand. Only after you put things i…”
