Welcome back. Today’s issue is about the enterprise AI gap. Everyone can access powerful models now, but few companies have figured out how to turn them into reliable outcomes. That’s why process intelligence matters so much, and why deploying agents without understanding how work actually happens can scale up chaos. OpenAI and Anthropic are pushing beyond just model contests into Wall Street-backed deployment machines, racing to own enterprise relationships before their respective IPOs. And CEOs are feeling the squeeze, with boards demanding measurable AI results while legal, trust, and observability risks slow rollouts. One of AI’s biggest tests of 2026

Hello friends. Enterprise AI is hitting a wall most teams cannot see. This episode of our podcast explains why process intelligence is the missing layer that maps how work happens before agents automate it. The lesson is clear: without that foundation, companies risk scaling inefficiency. Here’s a blueprint for better execution. Thank you to Deel for sponsoring this episode of The Deep View: Conversations. — Jason Hiner Why AI fails without process intelligence In this episode of The Deep View Conversations , we sit down with Alex Rinke, co-founder and co-CEO of Celonis, to unpack one of the most overlooked

Welcome back. OpenAI is broadening its path to include providers beyond Microsoft, a move that gives it greater cloud flexibility, broader enterprise reach, and a stronger IPO narrative. Mistral is tackling a different bottleneck: turning AI pilots into production workflows that enterprises can trust. And Sam Altman is moving AI decentralization into the industry spotlight. That’s the right conversation, but the real test is whether OpenAI and the other frontier labs change how they operate before market incentives push them toward more centralization, not less. We should hold them to it. — Jason Hiner IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. Altman elevates

Hello friends. AI is rewriting how audiences are reached, and marketing teams are feeling it. In this conversation, we explore how agents are automating workflows, why creativity still matters, and what a zero-click search world means for SEO. The takeaway: adapt quickly, because the playbook is being rebuilt in real time. Welcome to a special edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with Airia . Let us know what you think! — Jason Hiner Why AI search broke the marketing playbook Analysts, marketers, and business owners face the same question: How do you reach audiences in an era when

Welcome back. Today, we’re looking at an enterprise reality check behind the AI boom. Researcher Dan Klein argues that enterprises do not need superintelligence as much as super-reliability, because the most dangerous hallucinations are the ones that go under the radar. Anthropic added memory to Claude Managed Agents, closing a key gap for companies that want safer agents that need less babysitting. And DeepSeek V4 shows the cost war is far from over, pairing frontier-level benchmarks with a less expensive open model. Bigger AI still matters. But cheaper, safer, more reliable AI still matters to businesses. — Jason Hiner IN
