|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MEDIUM | Noel Kenehan (Head of Partner Engineering) | Google Cloud | 5:48 | 07-adoption-challenges | We’re putting all the frameworks in place, evaluation, CI/CD, all the different models, making that structure around it and framework. So, you have something that’s really a massive accelerator going to a customer. |
| 2 | MEDIUM | Noel Kenehan (Head of Partner Engineering) | Google Cloud | 8:10 | 07-adoption-challenges | A ship sitting at a dock costs a lot of money. A ship going a little bit slower between point A and point B saves money. So if you’re saying, ‘Hey, there’s a delay. Maybe I should arrive 12 hours later.’ That’s actually a huge piece of information. |
| 3 | MEDIUM | Noel Kenehan (Head of Partner Engineering) | Google Cloud | 22:27 | 12-agent-workers | We’re already seeing the component parts of that. We’re already seeing agents in different places, but they’re not necessarily harmonized. It’s not so easy for them to talk to each other. It’s not so easy to discover, okay, do I have an agent on that side and how do I? |
