How well do AI voice agents handle people who constantly interrupt?

This is a thing I keep noticing in real customer calls that doesn’t really show up in voice AI demos. People interrupt constantly. They start answering before the question is finished, correct themselves halfway through a sentence, say 'wait actually…' and completely change what they were asking about. That’s normal when two people are talking but it seems like a pretty difficult problem for an AI voice agent because it has to know whether the customer is adding context, correcting somethi...

Why Retail & CPG AI Projects Fail: A Buyer's Guide to Strategy, Partners & ROI

I've been looking at where Retail and CPG companies are actually getting stuck with AI, and I think the interesting part is that the biggest challenge isn't necessarily access to AI anymore. It's turning AI investment into measurable business outcomes. Companies have more data, better models and more GenAI tools than ever. But there is still a significant gap between having an AI use case, putting it into production, getting people to use it, and actually improving revenue, margin or operation...

Tim Tiah runs RM500K/month with zero full-time staff — one AI agent absorbs what used to take a whole team

https://reddit.com/link/1vndwo4/video/mdx21hziu5jh1/player The interesting part of this clip isn't the AI — it's what "zero staff" actually replaces. Client servicing, rate cards, contract negotiation, legal, finance: that's not one job, it's the org chart of a small agency, collapsed into a single named process. The credentialed ladder most people are still climbing — junior account manager, senior account manager, ops lead — assumes those functions stay separate long enough to...

Namecheap is currently completely down

Namecheap is currently experiencing a major outage following a power failure affecting its Phoenix data center. Web hosting, websites, DNS, email services, and other Namecheap services may currently be unavailable or disrupted. So if your website or hosting is suddenly offline, the issue is likely on Namecheap’s side rather than with your own server or configuration. Emergency maintenance is currently underway.

The attack surface of your agent

I've put a lot of work into the cybersecurity aspect of my agent, Lumina. There's a lot of guardrails, hook and gates, trust channels, and such to help prevent catastrophic failures. Running test after test and harness eval after eval. Last night, I got to test it live against a real threat in the wild... a website that had hidden prompt injections, commands invisible to humans, but machine readable, and directed at any AI agent that visited the site with explicit instructions. Full disclosure...

What's an AI trend that quietly died: and what replaced it?

What's an AI trend that quietly died: and what replaced it? I'll go first: generic "AI will replace everything" blog content. It peaked and fizzled because people got tired of being shouted at. What replaced it (for me at least) is boring, specific use-cases: "here's a script that triages my inbox" beats "the future of work" every time. I think the same thing is happening with agent hype: everyone's demoing, few are shipping something that runs for a month. What tre...
