Modernizing at the speed of AI: How state and local governments can keep quality in check

For the first time ever, artificial intelligence has topped NASCIO’s annual ranking of state CIO priorities, ending cybersecurity’s 12-year reign at number one. It’s easy to see why: public agencies – like their private sector counterparts – see real potential in AI to modernize operations, accelerate service delivery, and help lean teams do more with fewer resources.

Migrating Your BlazeMeter Tests With an AI Agent

Our BlazeMeter to OctoPerf Maven plugin is archived. What replaces it is not another tool to install: OctoPerf 17 ships a BlazeMeter migration playbook for AI agents. Real prompts, real output, run against a real BlazeMeter account. The plugin worked: one mvn command copied your workspaces, projects and JMeter scripts into OctoPerf. But a Maven command cannot ask you a question, so it never said which tests were worth moving, never brought your load profiles, and never replayed what it imported.

Agentic AI in Banking: How Autonomous AI Is Changing Financial Services

Quick answer: Agentic AI in banking refers to AI systems that don’t just generate text or answer questions – they take a goal, break it into steps, use tools and data sources, make decisions, and complete multi-step workflows (like investigating a fraud case or processing a KYC file) with minimal human intervention, looping in a person only for genuine judgment calls. Walk into any banking technology conference in 2026, and you’ll notice the conversation has quietly shifted.

How to Answer Any Performance Question with an AI Analyst

Ask one question with a time range, a metric, a comparison, and a goal. The AI analyst does the gathering. You keep the judgment. To answer any performance question in minutes, ask Databox’s AI Analyst, Genie, one well-built question that includes: a time range, a metric, a comparison, and a goal. Genie queries the data sources you’ve connected, runs the calculation, and returns the answer with a recommendation attached.

[Finance Demo] - AgentSpot Use Case - Collections Forecast

Every month, finance teams rebuild their collections forecast by hand, copying and pasting from disconnected files and hoping nothing breaks. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Collections Forecast Agent that connects to accounting files, NetSuite, and live bookings data to automate the full monthly rebuild, reconcile actuals against forecast, and output a traceable Excel workbook your whole team can work from.

[Product Demo] AgentSpot Use Case - PM Jira Assistant

Writing tickets is the tax every PM pays. You know exactly what needs to get built, then you spend an hour turning it into properly scoped Jira issues with acceptance criteria, labels, and the right epic. AgentSpot does the writing for you. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Product Assistant that turns a rough feature idea into fully drafted Jira tickets, pulls in context from your existing backlog so nothing gets duplicated, and files them to the right epic ready for grooming.

[Product Demo] AgentSpot Use Case - Automate Release Notes

Release notes are the thing that always gets written last, usually by whoever has the least context, usually the morning after ship day. Everything you need is already sitting in GitHub, it just isn't in a form anyone outside engineering can read. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Release Notes Workflow that reads what's been merged in GitHub, translates the changes into human-readable notes, posts them to your team's Slack channel, and keeps a running Slack canvas so every release stays in one place.

AI in Claims Processing: What's Actually Working in 2026

‍AI claims processing applies predictive models, machine learning, computer vision, and generative AI across claims workflows. These technologies analyse documents, images, policy terms, historical records, and structured claim data. Insurers use AI for document extraction, claim triage, fraud detection, damage assessment, and adjuster assistance. Predictive models classify claims, estimate severity, and identify cases requiring specialist review.
