Description

AI is everywhere — but most leaders are still stuck between hype and hesitation. In this episode, Insight and Microsoft execs share how they're moving from experimentation to ROI. Hear how internal use cases and agents are improving sales prospecting, how an airline used AI to optimize staffing during weather disruptions, and why empowering non-technical teams is key to scale. Plus, Logitech's Alex Mooney explains how AI is transforming device interactions, and Insight's Agentic Field Lead Sunny Wang breaks down the three tiers of agentic AI.
