      <title>AE E6: Why Current Approaches Break</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Most agent systems work in demos. Very few survive contact with production. This episode explores the gap between what we can build and what we can reliably operate — why current agentic architectures break under real-world conditions, and why closing that gap is becoming the defining challenge of the next phase of AI development.]]></description>

      <title>You’re Already Using AI. The EU Just Started Watching.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The EU AI Act is already in force — and for Nordic companies rushing to adopt AI tools, the compliance clock is running whether you've noticed or not. If you’re using AI in your business, you’re a ‘deployer’ with real obligations. This episode breaks down what that actually means: what the Act requires, who it applies to, and the practical steps companies need to take now to avoid being caught off guard.]]></description>

This episode provides a clear breakdown of single-agent systems, multi-agent systems, and orchestrated architectures — what each means in practice, what trade-offs to expect, and what to consider before you build.]]></description>

      <title>AE E4: The Rise of Agent Orchestration</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The interesting problems in AI are no longer inside the agent — they’re around it. Orchestration is emerging as the critical layer that separates experimental demos from production-ready systems. This episode explains what orchestration means, why it matters now, and what it looks like when designed deliberately rather than bolted on after the fact.]]></description>
