Hello there. The new term has finally started, and your enterprise AI homework is ontologies. This month we have looked at why most enterprises are still building AI in the wrong order, and why the firms that fixed the order are pulling ahead. We are also opening registration for our legal AI webinar, and sharing our take on the AI stories that are shaping future enterprises.

Enterprises buy and pilot agents first, then treat the context those agents need as something to backfill later. An agent can only reason over the information, processes and business logic it can actually see, and in most large organisations that knowledge is scattered. Writing for the Forbes Technology Council, our co-founder Tarek sets out what he would build first.

An ERP migration comes round once every fifteen to twenty years. Rad Parvin, in Computable.NL, details why most programmes waste that chance rebuilding what they already had, and how to avoid it.

Kirkland & Ellis is turning decades of institutional knowledge into infrastructure that compounds. Chris details why no other firm has answered yet, and why the gap widens every month it stays unanswered.

🗓️ Live Webinar  30 September, 2026  |  14:30 BST

Join us for a live look at why ontology is the advantage that compounds, using Kirkland & Ellis' $500M Palantir partnership as the worked example.

Join Tarek Nseir and Chris Lormor on September 30 as we explain why that gap exists, and what it would take to close it at your firm. 

Sergii joins our engineering team to help build the AI foundations that hold up as our clients' businesses grow.

Sergii arrives with more than fifteen years of enterprise engineering behind him, built inside some of the UK's best known brands. He will be working on scalable systems and composable architecture, the unglamorous foundations that decide whether the clever parts ever make it into production.

Introducing Compass - The Week in AI

We read a lot of AI coverage every week. Plenty of it is slop, and it's getting harder to tell which is which. So we started Compass. Our weekly pick of five or six stories that matter to the people building the future enterprise, all with our honest opinions, and the reasoning behind it. Let us know if we miss anything.
