  • What happens when dental demand grows faster than the available expertise? 🦷 That’s the challenge MovixTech set out to solve. After seeing firsthand how shortages of skilled dental technicians and manual workflows could lead to costly remakes, the founders turned to AI to rethink dental quality control. Today, Movix is building specialized AI agents to help automate dental workflows and bring digital technical expertise to dental labs, using Google Cloud and Gemini. See how they’re building the future of dental manufacturing ⬇️ 🔗 https://goo.gle/3W1lZwa

  • Whether you’re vibecoding your first MVP or scaling a fleet of AI agents, how you deploy shapes how fast you grow.

    In our latest Google Cloud CISO Perspectives co-authored blog, Nick Godfrey and I shared how startups can win over CISOs... but now I want to "flip this coin". Here is my ask to my fellow CISOs: 🤖 Take a stand and help the startups build 🤖 The cybersecurity market is noisy and we get flooded with generic pitch decks. Yet startups are the engine room of innovation in cyber. If we want startups to build the defenses we actually need, we have to meet them halfway. We need to: 🤝 Ditch the pitch: Offer raw, constructive feedback outside of the sales cycle. 🛠️ Co-author solutions: Open up about our actual operational bottlenecks so they can build tools that solve real-world problems. 💡 Guide with context: Share our business perspectives so they design for business enablement, not just the technical stack. Innovation is a collaborative sport. Let's do our part.
