Tatyana Mamut, a renowned expert in technological innovation and disruptive change, joins Karla Jo Helms on the Disruption Interruption podcast to explore the intersection of technology, culture, and humanity. Known for her unconventional journey from a family of engineers to a career in cultural anthropology, she shares her insights on the critical need for the social sciences to shape the future of technology.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — While the disruption produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to have a direct impact on 85 million jobs globally by 2025, this shift will also create 97 million new roles in areas like data analysis, machine learning, and AI development. This opens opportunities for humans to focus on creativity, emotional intelligence, and complex problem-solving— skills that AI cannot replicate. (1) Tatyana Mamut, Chief Product Officer at Wayfound.ai, joins Karla Jo Helms (KJ), host of the Disruption Interruption podcast, for a conversation about how Wayfound.ai is revolutionizing business innovation, sharing exciting developments about the platform’s capabilities and the transformative experiences it offers to enterprises. “At Wayfound.ai, we’re empowering business users to create not just one AI agent, but an entire team of agents that work collaboratively,” said Mamut. “Our platform allows users to experiment freely, without limits on the number of agents or users. This is a game-changer for companies looking to innovate and unlock new ideas.”

“At Wayfound.ai, we’re empowering business users to create not just one AI agent, but an entire team of agents that work collaboratively. This is a game-changer for companies looking to innovate and unlock new ideas.” — Tatyana Mamut, Chief Product Officer at Wayfound.ai

Embracing Unique Human Skills in an AI-Driven Future
Mamut views AI as an opportunity for people to rediscover unique talents rather than just a replacement for human labor. She remains optimistic about the future, highlighting the importance of a bottom-up approach to AI alignment, starting within organizations and scaling outward, as a way to tackle significant challenges in the field and ensure that technology serves humanity effectively.
“What drives me is understanding how humanity is evolving and to not just study it, but to help guide it.” She emphasizes that technology is one of the most powerful forces, adding that her mission has always been to bring a social science perspective into technological innovation.

Empowering Innovation with Human-Centered AI Design
Wayfound.ai is a no-code platform that enables businesses to build and manage large language model (LLM)-based AI agents. The platform is tailored for mid-market to enterprise companies, particularly for product managers and digital experience innovators. It empowers them to create and experiment with AI agents in real-time without heavy reliance on engineering teams, streamlining innovation and development.
Mamut underscores the importance of human-centered design in technology development, citing the pitfalls of social media as an example of what can go wrong when products are designed without a deep understanding of human behavior. “What I really believe is that technology is one of the driving forces for human evolution,” she highlights.

Dynamic Pricing Raises New Questions for Forwarders Evaluating Automated Freight Quoting

Published

As freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software, Aircon founder Chris Condon says buyers should measure more than response speed. He urges teams evaluating freight quote automation software to count total operator time, including review and correction, and to check how quotes hold up when shipment details change.

LEWISVILLE, Texas, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As more freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software to keep pace with shifting rates, a practical question is emerging: how much of the time saved is later spent checking and fixing what the software produces? Chris Condon, founder and CEO of Aircon, says buyers evaluating freight quote automation software should look at dynamic pricing alongside the work required to turn a supplier’s rate into a customer commitment. His comments follow G2’s 2026 AI Agents Report, updated October 14, which examines the operating costs of reviewing and correcting automated work.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

“Think about a hotel when a major concert comes to town,” Condon said. “Demand goes up, there are only so many rooms, and prices can rise. Freight responds to supply and demand too. The forwarder’s job is to work out whether the available price and service meet the customer’s need.”

Freight pricing reflects more than demand. Costs, contract terms, and shipment requirements all shape the final number. A changing rate tells the forwarder something about one particular option… building a customer offer still requires checking service conditions, outstanding confirmations, and the forwarder’s own commercial rules.

That verification step is where automated freight quoting is put to the test. Condon refers to it as decision assurance: organizing the inputs and evidence behind a proposed commitment, flagging open questions, and keeping a record of the decision, while the forwarder retains judgment and the customer relationship.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

G2’s report draws on a July survey of 1,019 business technology decisionmakers across industries. Forty-five percent of respondents said oversight and rework consume more than a quarter of their expected productivity gains. The findings are self-reported and cover enterprise AI adoption broadly; the report is not specific to freight.

For teams comparing freight quoting software for forwarders, Condon suggests looking beyond response speed. He recommends measuring total operator time, including review and correction, and asking how any freight quote management software handles changes to shipment details…and whether a second operator can understand the conditions behind an earlier quote.

“The practical standard is to give the team time back and keep the judgment behind the customer commitment clear,” Condon said.

About Aircon:

Aircon provides decision-assurance software for freight forwarders, supporting the review that takes place before a quote becomes a customer commitment. It preserves inputs, evidence, and decision state within the forwarder’s existing workflow, while the forwarder retains the customer relationship and commercial judgment.

DataLogix AI Launches Workplace Video Resources for Businesses Exploring AI and Robotics Training

Published

New calculator, business owner guide and inquiry form help companies assess workplace video alongside existing business records.

UNION, N.J., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataLogix AI, a division of Trailblaze Solutions LLC, has launched online resources to help business owners explore first-person workplace video for AI and robotics training. The new resources include a workplace-video overview, an adjustable revenue calculator, a business owner guide and an inquiry form for discussing potential fit.

The launch adds a second starting point alongside DataLogix AI’s existing focus on licensing business records. Owners can compare written operating history, such as internal email, chat, tickets and project records, with newly recorded footage showing the hands, tools and steps involved in approved physical tasks. Businesses with both types of activity can explore each separately.

The workplace-video resources describe possible tasks in areas including warehousing, maintenance, construction, production and vehicle service. These examples are discussion starting points, not confirmed eligible categories. The guidance asks owners to review participant consent, recording permissions, safety, equipment and footage acceptance criteria before beginning.

The calculator models a four-week scenario using the number of participating workers, accepted recording hours per worker and an assumed payment rate. Owners can optionally enter employee compensation and other business costs. All figures are illustrative. The calculator does not establish an offered rate, forecast earnings or determine eligibility, and a result after entered deductions is not net profit.

The accompanying guide explains how the two opportunities differ in preparation, rights and economics. It includes questions about who may approve participation, what can be recorded or licensed, who may receive the material and how payment would be determined. Owners can review the resources without uploading company records or workplace footage.

Businesses interested in learning more can use the inquiry form to describe their company and the opportunity they would like to discuss. An inquiry is not enrollment, recording permission or a payment offer. Program availability, equipment and commercial terms require separate confirmation, and payment may be zero.
