On this episode of Masters of Data, we unpack what it actually means to expect AI to be the primary interface for everything we do. We dig into the pull toward centralizing work in a single hub like Claude versus staying spread across specialized tools like Slack, Asana and Zoom, and where the line sits between helpful automation and letting an agent speak on your behalf. We also get into the "chief of staff" agent workflow for daily roundups and why specialized, best-of-breed tools aren't going anywhere, even as hubs get smarter.

Webflow CEO Linda Tong pushes back on the narrative everyone’s been repeating this year.

Learn how to get instant observability into your Kubernetes cluster by installing the Speedscale operator and proxymock tool. In this step-by-step tutorial, we walk you through setting up the operator to capture live network traffic (including encrypted traffic, API calls, and database calls) without complex instrumentation or manual configuration.

Since Playwright 1.59, the new "trace" command makes your test traces fully accessible in the terminal. All plain text, and your agent will love it. And if you're running Playwright with Checkly, our AI agent, Rocky, already reads your traces and delivers root-cause analysis before you even start digging.

Connect Spike to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool and manage incidents through natural language. Ask your AI what's critical. Tell it to acknowledge an outage. Have it build an on-call schedule. Spike is now wherever you work.

Harness Agent DLC: Ship AI Agents to Production Safely Building an AI agent is easy. Getting one into production safely is where teams get stuck. Harness Agent DLC extends the software delivery lifecycle to AI agents, giving teams a clear path to evaluate, deploy, secure, observe, and optimize agents in production. Learn more: Because agents dynamically choose their own tools, APIs, and actions, their behavior can change every time they run. Harness Agent DLC gives engineering teams the controls needed to move beyond experiments and operate agents safely at scale.
