For decades, large corporations like Liberty Mutual and Sherwin-Williams received dozens of bankers’ boxes filled with their monthly corporate telecom invoices.

Cornell Files: AI Agents in Healthcare

How Advancements and New Technologies Are Changing the Way We Do Things

Case in Point: Healthcare

AI agents in healthcare represent a significant advance in digital technology that is transforming patient care delivery and medical decision-making. These systems are revolutionizing healthcare by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, preventing medical errors, and creating more personalized patient experiences.

As medical assistants, AI agents have fundamentally changed healthcare delivery by analyzing complex datasets including test results, medical histories, and symptoms to suggest diagnoses and treatments. This represents a shift from traditional manual review processes to data-driven decision support. In radiology, for example, AI agents detect anomalies in medical imaging with high precision, supporting faster and more accurate diagnoses. Particularly significant is their role in preventing prescription errors by identifying potential drug interactions and patient allergies - an advancement that directly addresses the common problem of patients being prescribed medications despite known allergies and contraindications.

Google’s Notebook LM is transforming the way we manage and interact with information. Instead of just storing documents (videos, pasted entries, everything except images), it reads and analyzes the content, enabling me to ask questions and pull relevant answers directly from the material. This is essentially a trained model…except its something different, perhaps its own niche. Whatever we call it, it makes research faster and more interactive, allowing me to quickly access important insights and references without scrolling through endless pages.

Cornell Files: Small Tech Agencies Meet AI Chatbots

Introduction: The Strain on Small Tech Agencies

In many small tech consulting agencies, there’s a familiar challenge: 1-2 overtaxed technical resources juggling pre-sales, implementation, and post-sale support. These individuals, essential to the operation, spend much of their time on repetitive tasks, particularly delivering one-on-one sales pitches. This limits their capacity to focus on more strategic, high-priority client work, such as development and consulting.
