In the last couple of weeks we had a lot of announcements around enabling payment for agents. The pocket money moment for AI Agents. But how are agents doing right now in a virtual grocery store?
Super insights by Thorben. I love the level of details. I found in particular interesting if and how product recommendations can influence shopping agents.
As I mentioned before, I’m currently thinking and composing my thoughts around advertising in the age of AI Agents. So maybe recommendations for agents can be seen as some sort of monetization options. More about this in my upcoming blog post!

The phrase “Software is eating the world” was coined by tech investor Marc Andreessen in a 2011 Wall Street Journal article to describe how software was disrupting and taking over every industry, a prediction that has proven true with the rise of tech giants and digital transformation across the globe
Today AI Agents are disrupting a lot of aspects of our life, including how we build, use and what we can achieve with software. So what is the future of software?

Do you struggle on how to generate business value from AI?
This is a good start of an use case collection. Peaking behind the curtain on how they use AI in their own business. OpenAI describes the use case, results they achieved and what they found to be key for success like constantly redefining what is good and use feedback.
This is not copy and paste. You need to build your own for you own business. But these are great starters.

Thereโs been incredible progress in #AI tools for software engineersโnew agents, coding assistants, and integrated workflows are launching every week. Yet, when talking to customers, a common question keeps surfacing: are these AI investments really delivering value, or are they still more hype than help?
Thatโs why I found the latest Tech Lead Journal podcast with Laura Tacho (CTO at DX ) so insightful [1]. The episode dives into real-world research on AI adoptionโand tackles the tough questions leaders are facing: ย ย โขย ย Why โacceptance ratesโ often mislead organizations ย ย โขย ย How to move past buzzwords and measure true AI impact (e.g. with DXโs practical AI Measurement Framework) ย ย โขย ย Which use cases save time today (surprisingly, stack trace analysis outranks code generation!) ย ย โขย ย Why AI should be treated as a strategic team extension, not a โmagic bulletโ or a replacement for developers.

I had the pleasure of being one of the speakers at the Amerge Octoberfest Summit 2025 [3,4]. I talked about AI technology with AWS and how AI Agents canโand willโimpact advertising.
Great to connect with so many players in the advertising industry and directly with brands. Overall, there was a very positive vibe and tremendous interest in the upcoming changes and opportunities AI will bring.

The phrase “sharpening the saw” originates from a parable popularized by Stephen Covey in his 1989 book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, where it represents the practice of self-renewal and personal improvement.
๐ Covey begins his chapter on this habit with a story of a man struggling to cut down a tree with a dull saw and refusing to stop and sharpen it because he’s “too busy sawing” โ illustrating the need to regularly invest in growth to remain effective.
