"Google is pulling the Services-as-Software timeline forward by 12 to 18 months, making it a 2026 procurement reality rather than a 2027 architecture decision." — May 29, 2026
"Seventy-three percent of enterprises adopting agentic AI are already running multi-agent systems, and that firms hit a complexity ceiling at around five agents without a dedicated agent operating system." — March 6, 2026
I’m fascinated by what comes next, and I explore that every day with many of the people who are making the future happen. I try to look a little further ahead, observing the curves and speed bumps in the road ahead to help you go faster.
