In this episode, we step back and reflect on what really happened in the agentic AI space in 2025.The year was defined by rapid model releases, evolving frameworks, and a growing ecosystem of tools promising intelligent, autonomous systems. But beneath the momentum, organisations encountered a deeper challenge: building agentic systems on foundations that were still shifting.This episode explores how continuous model upgrades affected agent behaviour, why tooling emerged to stabilise execution rather than boost intelligence, and how coordination, interoperability, and structure became unavoidable concerns. From agent-to-agent communication and Google Antigravity to Model Context Protocol and the formation of the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, 2025 marked a shift toward standardisation and consolidation.Most importantly, the episode reinforces a central theme of this podcast: agentic AI systems are tools, not the work itself. Building production-grade agentic AI requires engineering discipline, behavioural testing, lifecycle thinking, and the ability to design for constant change.As we move into 2026, the key question is no longer which agent framework to adopt, but where organisations should focus when everything is still evolving. That is the question we take up in the next episode.

Episode 71: Why LLM Model Upgrades Are Becoming the Hardest Problem
In this episode, we explore a quiet but profound challenge emerging across the artificial intelligence landscape: model upgrades that no longer behave like software updates. Newer versions of large language models often shift reasoning patterns, change output formats, and break carefully-designed workflows, leaving organisations struggling to maintain consistency, trust, and reproducibility.Drawing from real-world evidence and industry research, this narrative uncovers why behaviour changes between versions are inevitable, why backward compatibility is nearly impossible, and why engineering discipline — not just better models — will determine who succeeds in the era of agentic systems.A deep dive into a problem every AI team will face, and one that will shape the future of intelligent systems.

Episode 70: Building Production-Ready Agentic AI Systems — AI Life Coach Application
This episode explores what it truly takes to build a production-ready agentic AI system — the architecture beneath it, the behavioural and contextual logic that gives it depth, and the engineering discipline required to move beyond clever demos into systems that evolve with real users. It reflects on where AI coding copilots fall short, why domain understanding matters, and how practical constraints shape every design decision.Humanity has been trying to understand itself long before machines existed. Astrology, the Chinese and Vedic systems, numerology, cultural archetypes, and behavioural science have all attempted, in different ways, to decode why people think, feel, and act the way they do. If you strip away the labels, they are simply frameworks for interpreting human tendencies. Reimagining these systems — not as prediction tools, but as structured behavioural lenses for the modern world — became one of the foundational ideas explored in this episode.The discussion includes my journey of building the AI Life Coach system from scratch as a practical example.

Episode 69 : Ten Principles of Modern Architecture for the Agentic AI Era
In this episode of Agentic AI — The Future of Intelligent Systems, we explore the architectural foundations that determine whether Agentic Artificial Intelligence becomes powerful… or unmanageable.Modern architecture is being rewritten as agents plan, act, reason, trigger tools, and evolve faster than traditional systems can keep up. This episode breaks down the ten core principles every organisation must master—modularity, simplicity, scalability, reusability, maintainability, security, sustainability, economical design, ethical considerations, and responsible architecture.These principles are no longer optional. They define how autonomous systems behave, how they scale, how they stay safe, and how they remain sustainable.Because the future of Agentic AI will not be shaped by how fast agents think, but by how well we design the foundations beneath them.Tune in for a deep, practical, and forward-looking conversation on building systems that endure in an era where artificial intelligence doesn’t just generate output… it acts.

Episode 68: When Story Overtakes Systems: The Artificial Intelligence Bubble
This episode breaks down a quiet shift happening beneath the excitement surrounding artificial intelligence. The technology continues to advance rapidly, but the systems, processes, and expectations around it are not keeping pace. The result is a growing gap between what artificial intelligence can demonstrate in isolation and what organizations can reliably run at scale.We explore why inflated expectations are beginning to correct, why prototypes fail when they meet real-world environments, why costs and constraints are forcing more grounded choices, and why engineering discipline—not model size—will determine who succeeds. This isn’t collapse. It’s a structural reset, pushing the narrative back toward fundamentals: efficiency, integration, reliability, trust, and sustainable design.Tune in to understand why the narrative bubble has burst and why the real journey of artificial intelligence begins now.
