According to the podcast, building an AI agent takes only a few hours, but getting it into production takes six to seven months.
Manoj Saxena, who previously commercialized IBM Watson, founded TrustWise based on the insight that uncontrolled intelligence cannot be distributed. Saxena argues that 95 percent of companies' AI agent projects stall between pilot phase and production — not because of poor AI models, but because a completely new type of infrastructure is missing that can monitor every tool call and decision in real time. TrustWise AI Control Tower does exactly this, and can simultaneously adapt agent behavior to six levels of requirements — from the UN's human rights catalogue to individual customer agreements — in just 10 to 300 milliseconds per decision.
