By combining natural-language search, interactive analytics, and AI-driven insights, ThoughtSpot enables business users and domain experts to ask questions of their data and get instant, trustworthy answers they can explore in real time. Unlike traditional BI tools that require predefined queries, ThoughtSpot supports true ad-hoc analysis—allowing users to start with a simple question, drill deeper, compare scenarios, and uncover patterns interactively—making analytics a live, decision-making experience rather than a retrospective report. softwareworld.co

Centurion Centurion is an AI-powered secure edge device for small and mid-sized businesses that unifies security enforcement and workflow governance into a single control layer. As automation drives modern operations, risk extends beyond network traffic or endpoints: it lives in approvals, access changes, and data movement. Centurion addresses this shift by treating business workflows as part of the security perimeter, governing how work runs alongside how systems connect. Rather than adding to a fragmented stack, it introduces an integrated operating layer that reduces complexity while increasing control. It enables organizations to secure operations, limit blast radius, and maintain oversight as environments evolve. Designed for MSP-led deployment, Centurion scales governance without burdening teams, bringing security, automation, and accountability together at the edge.

Ashu Sharma, GenAI & Full-Stack Engineer | Founder, Ashish Sharma Studio
Building the Intelligence Layer: Real-Time Agentic Middleware for Physical AI
Demo Overview: Showcase a Production-Grade Voice AI/Vision Agent specifically designed for industrial coordination. Unlike traditional chatbots, which often fall short in practical applications, this innovative system employs Agentic Workflows along with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). These elements work in tandem to effectively bridge the gap between sophisticated AI models and the physical hardware or operational data that they interface with. My goal is to illustrate how this integration can revolutionize the way industries operate, enhancing efficiency and decision-making processes.
Visum AI
Visum AI is building a Physical Intelligence Layer for data center operations. We use AI and computer vision to understand how facilities are designed, built, and operated—transforming diagrams, SOPs, MOPs, and on-site activity into structured, executable intelligence ready for robotics. Our platform automates the creation and validation of operational procedures, reduces human error, accelerates handovers from construction to live operations, and ensures every site follows the same gold standard for safety and uptime.
