The magentIQ Show Ep. 1 | From RPA to Agentic AI: Hype, Hope, and the Heraldic Test (Guest: Pat Geary)

Episode 1 of The magentIQ Show is here!Ian Barkin sits down with Pat Geary, the man who gave Robotic Process Automation its name. Over lunch, no less. The term that built an industry started as a metaphor on a napkin, and Pat has had a front row seat for every wave since. In this episode, Pat and Ian trade stories from the early days of enterprise AI, revisit the now legendary "Welcome to Robotistan" paper, and turn a sharp eye on today's agentic AI gold rush. Expect strong opinions on autonomy, auditability, and why most of what is being sold as agentic today would not pass a five minute conversation with a chief risk officer.It is the kind of honest, peer-level conversation The magentIQ Show was built for.Listen now and tell us where you land on the great agentic debate.Find us in your favorite streaming service:iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-magentiq-show/id1896570951Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033f2oKxnFr5fmcpdSHjSLiHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/333292440Got a perspective worth sharing?
