Replay: Agentic AI and the End of Deterministic Decision Trees with Megan Gallagher from Maven AGI

Season 9 · Episode 48

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 55:01

Send us a text

Hit replay on one of the most thought-provoking Agentic AI conversations on Making Data Simple. GTM Account Director Megan Gallagher makes the case for Agentic AI from the Maven AGI front lines, where AI agents stop following rigid decision trees and start acting with real autonomy over enterprise workflows.

“We’re still living like everything is deterministic,” Megan argues, “but this new generation of agents is inherently generative and predictive.” In this replay, she unpacks what that shift means for smaller specialized models, using real enterprise data, rethinking “assistant vs person,” and how to get started without boiling the ocean.

If you want to understand how Agentic AI moves from slideware to shipped value, this is the episode to queue up again.
