Presented by ElasticAs organizations scramble to enact agentic AI solutions, accessing proprietary data from all the nooks and crannies will be keyBy now, most organizations have heard of agentic AI, which are systems that “think” by autonomously gathering tools, data and other sources of information to return an answer. But here’s the rub: reliability and relevance depend on delivering accurate context. In most enterprises, this context is scattered across various unstructured data sources, including documents, emails, business apps, and customer feedback. As organizations look ahead to 2026, solving this problem will be key to accelerating agentic AI rollouts around the world, says Ken Exner, chief product officer at Elastic. "People are starting to realize that to do agentic [...]
Across 101 enterprises, the context feeding AI agents is failing often and repeatedly. Sixty-eight percent have traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context in [...]
A new framework from Stanford University and SambaNova addresses a critical challenge in building robust AI agents: context engineering. Called Agentic Context Engineering (ACE), the framework automat [...]
For all their superhuman power, today’s AI models suffer from a surprisingly human flaw: They forget. Give an AI assistant a sprawling conversation, a multi-step reasoning task or a project spanning [...]
An enterprise AI agent answers with total confidence, but the number is wrong. Nobody catches it until someone traces it back to a stale metric definition or a document the retrieval system never pull [...]
Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context sourc [...]
When startup fundraising platform VentureCrowd began deploying AI coding agents, they saw the same gains as other enterprises: they cut the front-end development cycle by 90% in some projects.However, [...]
In Q1 2026, VentureBeat's Pulse Research surfaced the “Governance Mirage”: the gap between the governance org charts enterprises had drawn and the control layers they had actually built. Fort [...]
One employee at Vercel adopted an AI tool. One employee at that AI vendor got hit with an infostealer. That combination created a walk-in path to Vercel’s production environments through an OAuth gr [...]
AI coding agents are rapidly accelerating data engineering by generating transformations, pipelines, orchestration workflows, validation tests, and infrastructure configurations from prompts. However, [...]
