The Evolution of Zoho Labs in AI -an interview with Ram Ramamoorthy, Director of AI Research at Zoho

Описание: In this episode of Just Another Day, we go behind the scenes with Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, Director of AI Research at Zoho.

As the AI landscape shifts from "flashy demos" to "functional tools," Zoho is taking a unique path. We dive deep into why they are building their own small language models (SLMs), how they are solving the "AI Agent" productivity puzzle, and the launch of their upcoming App OS platform.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Beyond the Hype: Why Zoho prioritizes rightsizing models over massive, compute-heavy LLMs.

The "Agent" Reality Check: A candid look at why their first internal AI agents failed—and how they fixed them.

Privacy by Design: How to maintain strict data boundaries in a unified suite of 55+ applications.

Vibe Coding & The Future of Engineering: Will AI really replace developers in the next 18 months?

The Road to AGI: Why current transformer architectures might not be the path to true artificial general intelligence.
