Super Data Science: ML & AI Podcast with Jon Krohn sponsors and ad reads

Agents are getting smarter every day, but even the smartest agents get stuck without the right context and the right tools. That's where Notion comes in. With the recent launch of custom agents, Notion became the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents work side by side, and now their new developer platform is turning that workspace into infrastructure developers can build on. The piece I keep coming back to is how easy it is to ship something real. The CLI authenticates in one line, workers deploy without provisioning any infrastructure, you write your code, deploy, and you're done. For me, that unlocks building purpose-built tools for my custom agents with the predictability and custom logic I need. Think a guest prep agent that pulls a researcher's papers, recent talks, and citation graph on demand. Tools my agents can actually call with parallelism and predictable behavior, not just hope for.

Agents are getting smarter every day, but even the smartest agents get stuck without the right context and the right tools. That's where Notion comes in. With the recent launch of custom agents, Notion became the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents work side by side. And now their new developer platform is turning that workspace into infrastructure developers can build on. What sets Notion apart is that the collaborative workspace and the platform you build on are the same thing with permissions, context, and governance baked in from day one. Workers, for instance, are Notion-hosted sandboxes where I can run database syncs without standing up my own infrastructure. That means I can pull guest research, episode analytics, and my consulting client data from all the scattered systems where they live, then keep them synced in Notion databases automatically. My agents and my human team work from one single source of truth. Learn more about Notion's developer platform today at notion.com slash superdata.

This episode is brought to you by AccelData, the leader in autonomous data and AI. Most enterprises run their data across a sprawl of systems — Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Hadoop, Iceberg, Lakehouses, on-prem clusters — and then stitch together a different operational tool for every layer. AccelData's XLAKE changes all of that. XLAKE provides a single architecture for hybrid compute control and intelligence, data and AI observability, agentic data management, AI data engineering, Kubernetes native compute, and more, all on one platform that runs where your data already live. XLAKE, the architecture built for what data needs to become. See it at acceldata.io.

On this podcast, I'm always going on about how Claude Code is mind-blowing, but now Claude Cowork is making my jaw drop as well. For example, I recently wanted to quantify how healthy my sales pipeline is for my AI consulting business. I simply asked Claude to estimate my sales for the coming quarter, and it brought info from relevant Google Sheets and my Gmail to create a professional spreadsheet of clients with estimated revenue for each one. Whoa, this might have taken me a day. Instead, it was done flawlessly with Claude Cowork in minutes. Claude is the AI for minds that don't stop at good enough. It's the collaborator that actually understands your entire workflow and thinks with you. Whether you're debugging code at midnight or strategizing your next business move, Claude extends your thinking to tackle the problems that matter. Ah, and you'll appreciate that I can ask Cowork to show me data, such as my sales spreadsheet, and it provides an interactive chart right in the conversation. For problems worth solving, get started with Claude at Claude.ai slash superdata. That's Claude.ai slash superdata. And check out Claude Pro, which includes access to all of the features mentioned in today's episode. Claude.ai slash superdata.

Quick reality check for anyone building with AI agents. Your agents can discover each other. They can pass messages. They can coordinate on tasks. But here's what they can't do. They can't think together. When your agent figures out how to handle a complex workflow, that knowledge stays isolated. The industry has focused on scaling AI vertically, bigger models, more compute. Those breakthroughs matter. But intelligence also scales horizontally. Agents sharing knowledge across a network, coordinating on common intent, reasoning together. The infrastructure for that second horizontal axis doesn't exist yet. Outshift by Cisco is formalizing it. They call it the Internet of Cognition. They're publishing the architecture and building reference implementations. Read Scaling Out Superintelligence. We've got a link to that in the show notes. Then check out episode number 961. In it, Dr. Vijoy Pandey, the head of Outshift by Cisco, walks through how horizontal scaling of intelligence works and why it matters.
