Not long ago, we interacted with chatbots for simple tasks—like tracking an undelivered package or canceling a flight—only to receive generic, scripted responses. Fast-forward to today, AI agents are tackling complex, real-world business challenges. It's amazing to see how far we've come. AI has evolved from a simple assistant that answers prompts to a creative, problem-solving partner that understands context and engages in natural, meaningful conversations. And the pace of this transformation is accelerating every day. From building dedicated labs for AI agent research to democratizing the creation of AI agents, this edition of the 'Why' axis sheds light on the growing role of this powerful technology across different industries.

Smiles, energy, and pure joy filled the air during our recent visit to a school in Mangadu. As part of our CSR initiative, we have partnered with the Madras Dyslexia Association (MDA) to support resource rooms for children with dyslexia in Tiruninravur, Mangadu, and Tiruvotiyur. The children’s infectious enthusiasm and bright smiles left a lasting impression on us, reminding us of our own childhood days. Their energy was not just heartwarming; it reminded us of the importance of creating opportunities where every child can thrive, regardless of their challenges. This initiative is just one piece of our larger commitment. Beyond our work with MDA, we are actively involved in six other projects focused on empowering government school students with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century. At LatentView, we are passionate about nurturing young minds through education. Our commitment to providing equal opportunities for all will continue to grow stronger as we work towards a brighter future for every child.
