    Zenline AI and the Retail Margin War: Why Assortment Velocity Wins
    Feb 5 2026

    European retail is entering a margin war driven by global platform competitors. In this episode, Arber Sejdiji, CEO of Zenline AI, explains why the strategic battleground is not pricing or promotion, but assortment decision velocity. We cover why dashboards fail at catalog scale, how long-tail data exposes hidden margin loss, and why relationship mapping is now required to price and curate assortments profitably.

  • COBY’s Child-Safe Voice AI Architecture for Bedtime Routines

    COBY’s Child-Safe Voice AI Architecture for Bedtime Routines
    Jan 30 2026

    COBY’s approach to child-facing voice AI treats safety, privacy, and trust as architecture decisions. The system earns trust before prompting coping conversations, enforces pre-release safety gates through adversarial simulations and expert validation, and preserves privacy with EU-hosted inference plus parent-phone background processing. Success is measured in household outcomes: time-to-bed, evening conflicts, and homework minutes.

    - Trust must be earned before coping prompts work
    - Safety requires adversarial testing and expert validation before release
    - Privacy-first means compute placement and EU-hosted control.

    Guest Micro-Bio:
    Featuring David Cañadas Link, Co-Founder & CEO at COBY.

  • AI Employees Are a Design Decision, Not a Hiring One

    AI Employees Are a Design Decision, Not a Hiring One
    Jan 22 2026

    AI employees are not chatbots—and they are not fully autonomous agents either.

    In this episode, Dr. Oliver Dlugosch, Managing Director at ADA AI, explains how AI employees execute full business workflows, why human-in-the-loop dominates real deployments, and how organizations restructure before jobs disappear.

    We discuss:

    • - Agent-ready processes

    • - Scaling limits driven by humans, not technology

    • - Data quality as an overlooked advantage

    • - Why autonomy claims exceed reality
