Buy your platform, AI edition
Building an internal agentic AI platform in banking or insurance demands a multi-year orchestration engineering commitment with a regulatory surface area that most organizations underestimate. [Bryan Ross] Tinkers and opexmaxxers take in huge risks when they decide to build their own platforms. And it usually fails, for at least seven reasons. 🔗 The hidden cost…

Tanzu Platform 10.4: a private cloud platform for AI harnesses (or, “agentic AI”)
AI companies are building platforms for running agentic applications. Right now, those applications are primarily for software development, with a little bit of knowledge worker stuff. In each case, you get a “harness,” an application that wraps all sorts of functionality around a model. This harness app is way beyond the chat-based apps we grew…

Don’t forget what I told you yesterday – AI memory and the mind palace – Tanzu Catsup
If you’ve spent any real time with Claude Code or Cursor, you know the feeling. The thing you told the agent five minutes ago is now optional as far as it’s concerned. The fix isn’t a smarter model. It’s architecture. This week David Zendzian and I dig into memory for AI agents – what it…

Agents Don’t Know What Good Looks Like – And That’s a Design Constraint, Not a Bug
Summarized by AI on April 11th, 2026. Luca Mezzalira reacts to a fireside chat between Neal Ford and Sam Newman on agentic AI and software architecture. The core argument is that current AI agents are stuck between novice and advanced beginner on the Dreyfus Model of Knowledge Acquisition – they can follow and even adapt…

The New Bottleneck That Will Chill Your AI Vibes
Platforms are helpful, from 2025 DORA Report. Getting software from idea to production quickly has always been important, but the increase in AI-driven application deploys is about to overwhelm even the best laid golden path to production. We can feel in our bones developers are already revving apps more frequently. The 2025 DORA Report found…

Using HATEOAS for agentic AI – a demo
My co-worker Adib did a video showing how to use Spring HATEOAS to make existing REST APIs agent-friendly. Instead of wrapping your 700 APIs as MCP servers and dumping all those tool definitions into the context window, you build a an adapter layer that lets agents discover what they can do by following links in…

Big Tech, aggregator companies are always trying to steal your customer relationship: If they can’t generate that experience for the customer, then there isn’t really going to be a sense of loyalty to the retailer.

Day 2 AI looms
Achieving enterprise AI ROI still tough: According to a recent Gartner poll, over half (53%) of participants were exploring Agentic AI, whereas 25% were piloting it and only 6% had reached production mode. The high exploration and pilot percentages suggest strong interest and perceived potential in Agentic AI. However, ==the low production percentage implies barriers…

Feels a little bit like a platform standard so powerful that you need an AI front-end to make it usable by mere mortals.
Yes: Kubernetes started as a way to orchestrate containers, but its true innovation lies in its API model. The declarative resource pattern, with its desired state, actual state and continuous reconciliation, has proven to be a universal abstraction. It works for workloads, infrastructure, policies and more. That universality is why Kubernetes has become the foundation…

AI uses at banks, private AI and customer built AI apps – skills and regulations are the friction for wider adoption
The most common use case for agentic AI is customer service, according to 75% of banks surveyed by Capgemini. Nearly two-thirds use the technology for fraud detection, while 3 in 5 use it for loan processing and customer onboarding. Also, 84% of apps/uses are built in house: BNY developed its AI agents in-house, which one-third…

A representative case of the oddly simple things that LLMs are bad at
Does it seem right that computer systems that use billions of dollars of hardware, electricity, and clean water need my help to add line numbers to a few kilobytes of plain text? No, it does not.
