Ok a little technical out of the gate this season but I couldn't pass an opportunity to talk to someone from PayPal and Solhil was lovely.

And yes running solo this season. Carrie Robinson is off in Scottland writing a novel! Can't wait to see that on the shelves.

Sohil is leading the agentic development over at PayPal and our conversation steered into the impact of AI at PayPal, the fundamentals of computing and AI, teamwork and collaboration in the context of AI, the development of the Agent Development Kit, real-time booking and MCP server, and the use of AI tools and programming languages. The discussion provides insights into the sentiment and perception of AI, as well as the process of code writing and reviewing with AI.

We also take a detour into Sohil's own travel agent so you can see one in action.
