<p>Episode 1 of The magentIQ Show is here!</p>
<p>Ian Barkin sits down with Pat Geary, the man who gave Robotic Process Automation its name. Over lunch, no less. The term that built an industry started as a metaphor on a napkin, and Pat has had a front row seat for every wave since. </p>
<p>In this episode, Pat and Ian trade stories from the early days of enterprise AI, revisit the now legendary "Welcome to Robotistan" paper, and turn a sharp eye on today's agentic AI gold rush. Expect strong opinions on autonomy, auditability, and why most of what is being sold as agentic today would not pass a five minute conversation with a chief risk officer.</p>
<p>It is the kind of honest, peer-level conversation The magentIQ Show was built for.</p>
<p>Listen now and tell us where you land on the great agentic debate.</p>
