  • State Street Episode - how to make agentic SLDC a success

    Just finished listening and really enjoyed it. CIO Classified episode on AI-Augmented SDLC with Jason Adams (State Street Alpha / Charles River Development) and Sid Pardeshi from Blitzy. A grounded discussion on how State Street uses AI solutions like Blitzy to augment the SDLC at real enterprise scale, with governance and human oversight front and center.

  • State Street episode: massive enterprise-wide SDLC acceleration through Blitzy’s agentic AI platform

    This was one of the most useful enterprise AI conversations I’ve heard in a while. The State Street perspective grounded the discussion in real-world constraints—controls, risk, governance, and change management—while Sid explained why Blitzy is different from “point tools.” What stood out is Blitzy’s capability as a massive, enterprise-grade agentic AI platform designed to accelerate the entire software development lifecycle: coordinating agents across planning, implementation, testing, remedia... more
