Companies that use AI will beat companies that don't.

But using AI without understanding its limits is its own kind of risk.

Ryan Aytay, President & COO of CodeMetal, says the message is clear: use AI, absolutely. But be careful.

Don't just generate something and send it out without reviewing it. The nuance of knowing where AI is strong and where it needs human judgment only develops through consistent, reflexive use.

In this clip from Talking AI, Ryan and Matt discuss why the Shopify CEO's mandate to use AI reflexively might be the best adoption framework out there.

The biggest risk isn't AI making a mistake. It's not using AI at all.

AI code gen tools are incredibly good.

But "incredibly good" and "mission-critical safe" are two very different standards.

Ryan Aytay, President & COO of CodeMetal, says even 99% correct is still failure for the systems our lives depend on. The code gen tools are on one side. The mission-critical systems are on the other. The gap between them is assurance: the ability to prove that modernized code will actually work in production.

In this clip from Talking AI, Ryan explains what bridging that gap looks like.

The last 1% is where the stakes are highest. And it's the part nobody else is solving.

Congratulations to Andrea Portillo, this month's Hatchy winner.

Andrea earned it by living one of our core values: We Before Me, Always.

She put the team first and consistently thought beyond herself.

That mindset is what makes HatchWorks AI what it is. Thank you, Andrea.

25 teachers in Chaclacayo, Lima spent the day learning AI.

Through HatchFutures, our Teach with AI program brought hands-on training to the educators shaping what comes next. They explored how generative AI works and how to put it to use in the classroom.

Together, we build the future of education.

99% correct is still failure when it comes to mission-critical systems.

That's Ryan Aytay, former CEO of Tableau and now President & COO of CodeMetal, which just raised $125 million to close the trust gap in AI-generated code.

Every AI coding tool, when asked if it can guarantee production-ready code for a fighter jet, a power grid, or an autonomous vehicle, will say the same thing: "Almost, but not quite."

That "almost" is where catastrophic failures live. And that's the gap CodeMetal exists to close.

On Talking AI, Ryan and Matt Paige get into what the "last mile" actually means for mission-critical industries, how his team translated a million lines of legacy C++ to Rust in weeks with provable correctness, and why the biggest risk for any company right now isn't AI making a mistake. It's doing nothing at all.

Day 1: A VP of Operations needs a dashboard tracking fulfillment SLAs across three regions. Instead of scheduling a requirements session, they open an AI tool and describe what they want. By end of day, they have a working prototype.

Day 2: An architect reviews it and flags two issues: a streaming integration the data pipeline doesn't support and a data granularity gap in one region. They propose alternatives that preserve the VP's intent.

Days 3 to 5: The team builds it with GenDD, using the VP's prototype as the acceptance criteria.

That cycle would have taken three to four weeks in a traditional pipeline. Not because anyone was slow. Because the translation layers between stakeholder intent and engineering ex*****on add unavoidable latency.

We published a full article on this approach.

Proud to share that our CEO Brandon Powell has been named to the 2026 Dallas Innovates AI 75.

This recognition honors the 75 visionaries, creators, and influencers fueling AI growth in Dallas-Fort Worth, published by Dallas Innovates in partnership with the Dallas Regional Chamber.

Brandon was recognized at the Convergence AI Conference at the Irving Convention Center alongside leaders, entrepreneurs, and technologists shaping what's next in applied AI.

DFW has become a critical hub for enterprise AI. And we're proud to be part of the community driving that growth.

What if your CRM filled itself out after every sales call?

That's not a hypothetical anymore.

The conversation on this week's episode of Talking AI hit on something sales leaders have been trying to solve for years: reps spending more time on data entry than on customers.

The new model flips it. Leave a voice memo. The AI handles the rest. It logs the call, updates the record, and surfaces what to do next.

But the shift goes even deeper than admin work. When AI can tell a rep what to prioritize, how to prepare, and what to follow up on in real time, it stops being a tool and starts functioning more like a coach.

The baseline is resetting fast. What used to be an advanced workflow is quickly becoming the standard.

We learned these the hard way. Building production applications with Google ADK, we ran into issues that no documentation prepared us for.

Parallel tool calls behaving unexpectedly. Schema enforcement gaps. Migration headaches with ADK 1.22+.

We published the 7 best practices we wish we'd known from day one. Battle-tested. Production-proven.
