Making Agents Real video podcast explores what it really takes to put AI agents to work inside real organizations. Each episode explores the practical challenges, the implementation lessons, and the operating model changes required to deploy AI agents successfully at enterprise scale. Through candid conversations with engineers, architects, and business leaders, Steve Hochman, Managing Director at Nagarro, dives deep into concrete case studies while keeping hard-earned lessons relevant to practitioners and decision-makers navigating enterprise AI adoption.
Steve Hochman talks with Carlos from Nagarro about how design systems help enterprises eliminate duplicated effort, reduce tech debt, and ship products faster — with a real-world insurance case study showing roughly $50K saved per release. They also explore why codifying those design standards is becoming urgent as AI-generated interfaces proliferate, and how companies that don't document their design rules risk looking indistinguishable from their competitors.
