Introduction Networking has always been central to professional life, but the way we connect with others has changed dramatically. What once meant exchanging business cards at conferences now spans LinkedIn messages, virtual communities, and even AI-powered introductions. For professionals and entrepreneurs alike, building a network is no longer just a nice-to-have. It is one of…

The first time I presented to a board, I made the classic mistake: I came in armed with charts on system performance, uptime percentages, and the roadmap for a new architecture. Within ten minutes, I realized I’d lost them. Not because they didn’t care, but because I was answering questions nobody in the room was…

Elevator Pitch Despite its name, logistic regression is not used for regression but for classification. It predicts the probability that an input belongs to a particular class (yes/no, churn/stay, fraud/not fraud). Simple, interpretable, and scalable, logistic regression remains one of the most trusted models for classification problems. Category Intuition Linear regression outputs a straight line…

Elevator Pitch Linear Regression is one of the simplest ML models, but it’s still a workhorse in finance, healthcare, and real estate. As a CTO, I often encourage teams to start here. It’s interpretable, reliable, and a great baseline before scaling into more complex models. Category Supervised Learning → Regression Intuition Executives like clear answers.…

Over the past year, we’ve seen computer use agents also called web agents go from research experiments to real-world productivity tools. At ReFocus AI, we’ve been using BrowserUse (a Y Combinator-backed platform) to power our Intelliagent product, which automates quoting for insurance agents. And we’ve tested a range of other tools, from Stagehand to Browserbase.…

A casual message in a team channel.Someone drops a link to a GenAI demo.Another chimes in: “Can we do this for support?”A third wonders if marketing could use it to generate campaigns.Then someone asks, half-seriously, “What if our product had a copilot too?”…

Not long ago, artificial intelligence felt like a distant frontier — the realm of research labs, academic journals, and sci-fi speculation. Today, it’s suddenly everywhere: powering customer service bots, writing code, summarizing meetings, and reshaping entire industries in its wake. For engineers watching from the sidelines, the shift can feel less like a gradual evolution…

AI isn’t just another tech trend — it’s a strategic imperative. The CEOs I’ve spoken with recently are still at the beginning of their AI journey. They’re not yet asking, “How do I use AI to grow revenue or reduce cost?” They’re asking, “What should I even be doing here?” And that’s completely fair —…

In high-growth technology companies, the challenge isn’t just about scaling rapidly — it’s about scaling intelligently. Growth is exhilarating, but it demands a careful balance between driving innovation and ensuring disciplined execution. This balance is essential to sustaining momentum, achieving strategic goals, and creating long-term value.   As a leader currently navigating this balance at…
