"People need to change HOW they work, not WHAT they use." That's Xander on why most enterprises aren't seeing real results from AI yet. Short to medium term, he expects the biggest difference from agentic coding, general Q&A and agentic analytics. #symbyte #agenticai

Digitata runs on 25TB of data and billions of rows, and their telco customers expect answers quickly. The lakehouse we deployed is built to keep up with that. #symbyte #dataengineering

South Africa leads Africa on AI adoption. Confidence hasn't caught up. New research found most South Africans using AI want to use it more, they just don't trust their own grip on it yet. Adoption is the easy part. Trust is the part that actually moves the needle. #symbyte #ai

Would you know if a video had been made by AI? The EU now expects certain AI-generated content, deepfakes included, to be clearly labelled. That's one of four stories in this week's AI Recap, alongside IBM, OpenAI, Google, and NVIDIA. Full rundown in the graphic.

Short clip from the podcast: a Java project that had been waiting five years for an upgrade got moved to Java 21 in about an hour, with an agent doing the work. The full episode is linked here: youtu.be/1XCUHOCLF00  #ai #aiagents #java #symbyte

Ever heard of the Pentagon Pizza Index or how a fitness app once gave away the location of secret military bases? Episode 3 of Two Guys in a Random Forest gets into stories like these, plus prediction markets, autonomous drones, and how AI agents are changing the way people work

Two IFRS9 credit models. Eight hours down to under ten minutes. Rand Merchant Bank's models were buckling in Excel. We ported them to Python, automated deployment, and built in proper monitoring. 700+ man hours saved every year, and models the team can actually trust. #symbyte

Writing made memory less necessary. The printing press made copying less necessary. What does AI make unnecessary, and are we okay with losing it? New blog post on cognitive atrophy and the bicycle vs mobility scooter problem. symbyte.tech/posts/the-exter…

Not every project needs a year long roadmap. Symbyte starts with the actual problem, not the tech. We scope something specific, build in stages, and stay involved once it's live. #symbyte #dataconsulting

"Privacy is dead." This week's clip gets into who actually gets to decide when data collection crosses a line, and whether choice still matters once it's already out there. Full clip and episode here: youtu.be/Ke2MlPkX-ls?si=WkaK…

There is still no AI. Bold thing for a data and AI consultancy to say, but stay with us. Our latest blog treats AI as an engineering problem, not magic: guardrails, retrieval, error correction, a human always in the loop. symbyte.tech/posts/there-is-… #symbyte #aiagents

Software developers look for automation workflows. Data analysts look for metric patterns.True tech transformation happens when they collide. At Symbyte, we fuse custom software engineering and analytics under one roof.

The result? Systems that clear today’s operational bottlenecks while structuring your data foundation for tomorrow's AI integrations.#Symbyte #softwareengineering #dataanalytics #automation #digitaltransformation

Pricing tiers, benchmark shifts, an operating system built around AI instead of bolting it on, and a memory partnership sized for factories that don't exist yet. It was that kind of week. Swipe for the recap. Link in bio for more. #aiinfrastructure #dataengineering #technews

When the official system doesn't work, teams build their own workarounds. One person exports to Excel. Another scripts. A third maintains something only they understand. Each one feels like a solution until that person leaves. Workarounds are deferred problems.
