What leaders are saying.
Where Octosight stands.
A short, periodically updated read on the priorities being raised by the people shaping enterprise software and AI. Their words, sourced. A line from us on the work we are doing in support of the same.
- Grounded AI
“None of this stuff works if you don’t have context. The AI is very probabilistic. It needs to be grounded in real data and it needs to have that semantic layer. It needs to be locked down into the truth into a single source of truth or it just cannot work well.”
Marc BenioffCEO, SalesforceAll-In Podcast, November 2025 - Simplest solution first
“When building applications with LLMs, we recommend finding the simplest solution possible, and only increasing complexity when needed. This might mean not building agentic systems at all.”
Erik Schluntz and Barry ZhangAnthropic Applied AI teamBuilding effective agents, December 19, 2024 - The missing layer for AI automation
“The biggest blocker to AI automation of companies is no longer the models, they just got so good so quickly. Now the blocker is the domain knowledge. Every company has critical know-how scattered everywhere. Some of it lives in people’s heads. Some of it is buried in old email accounts, Slack threads, support tickets, and databases.”
Tom BlomfieldGroup Partner, Y CombinatorYC Requests for Startups, Summer 2026 - The real long-term price war
“The real long-term price war isn’t with your competitors. It’s with your customer’s engineering team.”
Tugce ErtenPartner, Andreessen Horowitz Growtha16z.com, April 2026 - Queryable companies win
“The best AI-native companies we’re seeing have figured out something most haven’t: they’ve made their entire company queryable. Every meeting recorded, every ticket tracked, every customer interaction captured, all legible to an intelligence layer that learns from it.”
