#178: Dan Ardelan is back. He joins Pat to unpack how Kentico is evolving its CMS into an AI-powered digital experience platform. Dan explains how Experience by Kentico represents a total rebuild—modern .NET architecture, evergreen updates, and a single version approach that keeps it future-proof.

The big story: Kentico isn't just dabbling in AI; they've built it into the DNA of their product. From generative content tools to predictive analytics, auto-tagging, and the new in-platform assistant "AIRA," Kentico is putting AI at the core of both marketing and development workflows.

Dan also touches on the competitive landscape, agency skill shifts, and how AI is changing not just CMS platforms but the way digital experiences are designed, delivered, and optimized.
