In this episode of The Analytive Podcast, we dive deep into the evolving world of AI with Jeff Townes, Chief Technology Officer at Gorilla Logic. With a background that bridges enterprise architecture, cloud strategy, and marketing tech, Jeff brings a rare blend of technical depth and business insight.

We explore how AI is transforming software development—from supercharging developer productivity and redefining governance, to integrating generative tools into real-world products. Jeff also unpacks the difference between hype and reality in AI adoption, shares best practices for enterprises navigating this shift, and explains why developers won’t be replaced—but they will need to evolve.

Whether you're leading a dev team, running marketing ops, or just trying to figure out where to start with AI, this conversation will give you a clear-eyed look at what’s changing, what’s not, and what’s next.
