AWS - Smart Business Podcast

Julia Wallin, Director of Engineering, and Jan Dolinaj, CTO of Levi9, on what happens when AI makes code the cheap part: developers merge almost twice as many pull requests, but review time rises by 91 percent. Why reviewing harder, banning AI or counting output doesn't fix it, why the platform becomes the reviewer you don't have, and what this shift asks of engineers, teams and the clients who now build alongside them. Recorded live at Arch9 by Levi9 in Amsterdam.

Matthijs van Henten (STX Group) and Wesley de Leeuw (Levi9) on what happens when building is no longer what holds a company back: a business that can't keep up with what engineering delivers, product managers squeezed from both sides, and why the answer lies in builders rather than ticket pushers, and in leaders who design the sandbox instead of making every decision. Recorded live at Arch9 in Amsterdam.

Tapas Mondal and Amit Pareek of RAKBANK on the future of banking in the Gulf: modernising the core, launching new propositions and experimenting with AI side by side, where architecture has to say no, and why safety sets the speed limit as AI agents change both fraud and customer service. Recorded live at the AWS Summit in Dubai.

Carlotta Gagna (Traininpink), with Nothando Ntombela (AWS), on growing an Instagram page started on Christmas Day 2017 into a wellness app with nearly 50,000 members, choosing one method over being a full-service fitness app, and what remains the moat when any AI assistant can write a free workout plan. Recorded live at the AWS Summit in Dubai.

Shobit Kohli (ONOV8 and EZMS), with Losika Monang (AWS), on replacing a 200-field application form with a WhatsApp conversation, letting AI check documents like board resolutions, building an "institutional brain" that remembers every decision, and weighing tokens against people and reputational risk. Recorded live at the AWS Summit in Dubai.
