  Your Customer Asked AI First: Smarter Buyers and the First AI Holiday 14.10.2026 5мин

  A client brings a two-page contract to a lawyer, gets quoted $10,000 for review, and already knows that's too much. They ran it through ChatGPT before the meeting. In this episode of Practical AI, Hashi Sivananthan, Founder and Principal at Digiform, breaks down how AI turned buyers into researchers across law, accounting, consulting, agencies, and direct-to-consumer. The catch is that much of what AI tells your prospects comes from old Reddit threads, forums, and outdated reviews, repeated a...

  AI Got Hands: Why Your Machines Talking to Each Other Is the Next Big AI Story 14.10.2026 6мин

  For three years, AI has lived on a screen. In late August, that changed. Anthropic opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a common language that lets AI agents discover, understand, and safely operate physical equipment. That includes microscopes, robotic arms, liquid handlers, and lasers. In this first Practical AI Industry Edition, Hashi explains what MHS actually is and why the boring word “interoperability” is the whole story. He also covers what this looks like i...

  The AI Risk Already Inside Your Company 14.10.2026 5мин

  A researcher quit one of the biggest AI labs in the world so he could say it out loud: the people building AI believe it could wipe us out. Then one of that lab's own alignment leads publicly agreed. So should you stop using AI at work on Monday? Short answer: no. In this episode, Hashi breaks down what actually happened when Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic, why the story became headline news, and what the panic skipped. The warning itself isn't new. What's new is who's saying it: not cri...

  What If You Never Had to Remember Anything Again? 30.08.2026 5мин

  What if you never had to remember anything again? No to-do lists, no "don't forget the milk," no 3 a.m. panic about the appointment you didn't book. That's not a productivity hack — it's the personal language model, and if Hashi could snap his fingers and raise the funding, it's the company he'd start. In this episode, Hashi picks up where the single-serving AI story left off: single-purpose devices are winning, so the next move is those devices talking to each other. That connection is the s...

  When Everyone Has AI, What's Your Edge? 24.08.2026 3мин

  Right now, every company is scrambling to get AI in the door. Very soon, every company will have it — same tools, same automation, same productivity gains. And when the gains are equal, they stop being an advantage. In this episode, Hashi starts with what AI is actually doing to jobs right now — not the headlines, the reality. It isn't replacing the people already in the workplace. It's delaying hiring in roles built on repetitive manual work, and it's consolidating roles: the UI/UX designer ...

  The Do-Everything AI Gadget Is Dead: What will Prevail 19.08.2026 4мин

  Heavily funded, beautifully launched, and largely gone. The Rabbit R1 was supposed to be the device that let AI solve everything, and its failure tells us more about where AI hardware is heading than any of the successes do. In this episode, Hashi breaks down why the do-everything AI gadget flopped — not because the AI was weak, but because "everything" is a terrible product spec. A device trying to be your assistant, your phone, your camera and your therapist ends up a worse version of all f...

  Is Generative UI Helping or Hurting Your Customer Experience? 15.07.2026 9мин

  Generative UI promises every customer a personalized, dynamically-generated interface — but is it actually improving the experience, or quietly breaking it? In this episode, Hashi cuts through the AI hype to explain what Generative UI (GenUI) really is, why companies are racing to adopt it, and where it goes wrong. From e-commerce checkouts to the Marriott app, he explores the real promise of AI-personalized interfaces — and the "unwritten contract" between a user and a button that too many c...
