MCP vs. API: What's the Difference and When to Use Each

Oct 13, 2026 By Nida Fatima In Astera
An API is a defined way for one piece of software to request data or actions from another. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that gives AI agents a consistent way to discover and use tools and data sources, so they don't need a custom integration for each one. The short version: MCP doesn't replace APIs. Most MCP servers call APIs behind the scenes. What MCP changes is who the interface is designed for. APIs are designed for developers who read documentation and write code.

The Next Question Matters More Than the First Answer

Oct 12, 2026 By Brendan Grady In Qlik
With Claude Dashboards entering beta, Anthropic is making it possible for people to ask quick, exploratory questions about their business data and get a dashboard back. You don't need to write SQL or build a visualization. I think that's a good thing. We've spent years trying to make analytics more accessible, and anything that shortens the path from question to answer is progress.

It covers who an agent acts for, which data and tools it can use, which actions need approval, and how its activity is recorded and reviewed. AI agents are moving from pilots into daily operations. They read invoices, update records, answer customers, and trigger workflows across business systems.

LLM and AI Agent Observability: What to Monitor, Evaluate, and Test

Oct 12, 2026 By Nida Fatima In Astera
LLM observability is the practice of collecting and analyzing data about how a language model application or AI agent behaves, including prompts, responses, tool calls, cost, speed, and errors, so teams can find problems, measure quality, and improve results. AI agents can now plan tasks, call tools, and work across business systems. That makes them powerful, and it also means a single request can involve many steps that no one sees directly.

Accounts Payable Process: Steps, Exceptions & Controls

Oct 10, 2026 By Astera Marketing Team In Astera
Many invoice problems don't start in accounts payable. They start earlier, when someone buys without a purchase order or a delivery goes unrecorded. AP is simply where those gaps become visible, usually as an invoice that can't be paid. That's why it helps to see the accounts payable process end to end. It's how a business receives, checks, approves, pays, and records the bills it owes suppliers, whether those steps run by hand or through accounts payable automation.

Oct 8, 2026 By ThoughtSpot In ThoughtSpot

In this clip from the Thought Tank: Marketing in the Age of Agents, ThoughtSpot SVP Marketing EMEA Katie Marcham introduces the agent her team built to change that. They call it Slicy McSliceface, and it does exactly what the name suggests.
