Endpoint Automation in 2025: 7 Upgrades That Will Shock IT Leaders

In this episode of TCAST, host Alexander McCaig welcomes Shirish Nimgaonkar, founder of EBLISS AI, to unpack how endpoint automation is redefining enterprise IT. With devices multiplying across industries, traditional support models—manual, reactive, and costly—no longer scale. EBLISS AI addresses this gap through an AI-powered platform that dynamically learns, predicts, and resolves endpoint issues with precision. Shirish explains how the platform integrates classic machine learning and proprietary small language models to build agentic AI—intelligent agents capable of real-time remediation and proactive diagnostics. They delve into the importance of synthetic data, human-in-the-loop safety mechanisms, and why productivity and risk management must co-evolve. The conversation also touches on the ethical implications of automation and the need for vision-led tech adoption that enhances quality of life, not just profits. Whether you’re a data strategist, IT leader, or AI ethicist, this episode delivers actionable insights on how to future-proof your digital infrastructure.

AI-Generated Code: Why 90% Fails and How to Win

In today's rapidly evolving tech world, the rise of AI-generated code promises unprecedented speed, but it also comes with a hidden trap: unsustainable, brittle systems that collapse under complexity. In this TCAST episode, Alexander McCaig sits down with Gilad Shoham, the visionary behind Bit.dev and Hope AI, to unpack why 90% of AI code will fail unless developers fundamentally change their approach. Shoham introduces the concept of composable programming—building software like Lego blocks rather than stitching fragile snippets together. By treating code as structured, reusable components rather than random lines, organizations can scale their development healthily and predictably. You'll discover how Hope AI redefines "code generation" as "code assembly," why traditional AI assistants are missing the mark, and how holistic code architecture can future-proof your projects. If you're serious about digital transformation and AI ethics, this is a must-listen conversation. 🔗 Resources  Internal: * TARTLE Official Website [https://tartle.co] * TCAST Episodes on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/c/Tartlecast] External: * Learn More About Bit.dev [https://bit.dev/] * Bit.cloud - Hosting for Hope AI [https://bit.cloud/] * Composable Programming Overview (Harvard Business Review) [https://hbr.org/2020/11/what-is-composable-enterprise] Related Episode: Your Data Is Stalking You?
