Redefining Product Design: How AI Transforms Workflow, Speed, and Execution

In design, time has always been more than just a resource — it’s a key metric of competitiveness, and today, it matters more than ever. With generative AI accelerating every phase of product development, the stakes are rising fast, triggering a sharp rise in demand for AI-driven design tools. According to Precedence Research, the global generative AI in design market is projected to grow from $741.11 million in 2024 to over $13.9 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 34.11%.

Watch an AI Agent Connect to External Tools and Systems in Minutes Using MCPs | Live Demo

Building AI agents is just the beginning. The real value comes when these agents are connected to your enterprise data and systems in a meaningful way. This means moving beyond isolated tasks and enabling agents to interact with real-time data, external applications, and business logic through seamless integration. But traditionally, that requires coding, API management, and technical expertise. What if you could skip all that?

Why APIs and Tools are Critical to Your AI Strategy

As enterprises race to integrate AI into their workflows, a critical truth is emerging: success isn’t defined by the size of your model—but by the strength of your infrastructure. Join Hugo Guerrero, Principal Technical Product Marketing Manager at Kong, and Alex Salazar, Co-Founder/CEO of Arcade.dev, for a live conversation on how APIs and the right tooling can unlock the full potential of AI agents in real-world enterprise environments.

The New Era of Mobile Testing - and What's Still Getting in the Way

Mobile apps aren’t just another digital touchpoint anymore – they’re the front line. Whether you’re banking, booking a ride, ordering dinner, or catching up on emails, it’s happening on your phone. But when things go wrong, customers don’t wait around. According to PwC, 32% of customers would stop doing business with a brand they love after just one bad experience.

Feed Your AI Models the Data They Deserve - with Countly

Anyone who has tried to build a recommendation engine or a churn predictor knows the moment the excitement fades. The prototype looks good in the notebook, but the training data contains typos, half-missing properties, and events that somehow morphed between different devices. The model stumbles, engineers lose faith, and everyone wonders where all that AI magic went.
