On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Ivan Pylypchuk, the CEO of Softblues, and Olha Pylypchuk, the company’s COO.

In today’s discussion, we’ll explore: What Agentic AI is and why it’s poised to disrupt traditional business processes, how Ivan and Olha are leveraging multi-agent systems to solve domain-specific challenges and deliver business transformation, and the future of AI agents and their role in shaping the workplace of tomorrow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you talk about traditional AI systems, they can handle one simple, specific task, such as image recognition, data classification, content generation. Agentic AI is more autonomous and capable of complex decision making across multiple steps. Our approach is focussed on controlled, multi-agent systems. 
• The biggest challenge companies face is collecting data and putting it together. Often, companies have their valuable data spread across different systems and departments, like customer databases, email records, business software. These don’t always talk to each other. To have an effective AI implementation, you must make sure that all this data is collected neatly and accurately.
• Surprisingly, some companies don’t know how their people work. When you observe their processes sometimes, they miss important details about their daily operations which can create a lot of wasted investment when we rectify these mistakes afterwards. That’s why we invest a lot of time work with and talking to the businesses about how their workflows move from point A to B. Then we can enhance them with the help of AI.
• How team members embrace this technology is very important. Even a perfect solution will fail it teams don’t use it. We create simple interfaces and make sure our systems explain their recommendations in plain language. This approach improves the understanding of how AI works dramatically and build trust.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Agentic AI gives us scalability in different domains, explainability to understand what it’s doing, so we can provide the exact information that is needed across an organisation.’

‘It’s important to start very small, on a piece of a project so the AI can show clearly its quick results. After the goal has been demonstrated, then we scale the solution.’

‘Our recruitment solution help reduced time to hire by 60% and provided an increase in the quality of hires by 40%.’

‘It gives you more time to do strategic work that brings more value to the business than managing this data.’
