AI is making it possible to replace clunky dashboards, spreadsheets, and repetitive workflows with purpose-built internal applications. Lucas Longacre shares how he’s building hyper-focused tools at Inlightened—and why the next frontier of enterprise AI may be empowering teams to build software around the way they actually work.

In this special edition of Signal & Noise Live at AI Con, Lucas Longacre sits down with AI GovOps co-founder Ken Johnston to discuss what it really takes to scale AI safely. They explore the risks of “demo theater,” why companies need stronger testing, security and observability, and how AI is reshaping software development. Ken also explains why human experience and judgment remain essential as companies race to adopt increasingly powerful AI tools.

What does “full stack” mean in the age of AI? In *Signal & Noise*, Lucas Longacre and Viktor Williamson explore modern software engineering—from frameworks like Next.js to agentic coding and AI-assisted development. They unpack evolving roles, performance, security, and human-centered design, plus why engineers are shifting from builders to orchestrators in a rapidly changing, AI-driven landscape.

Lucas Longacre joins Signal & Noise and debuts with Zach Grumet to explore product management, leadership, and “structuring ambiguity.” They cover unclear problems, team friction, decision-making, and how AI is reshaping product development. Featuring insights from FinTech, HealthTech, and SaaS, this episode highlights why strong product leaders focus on clarity—not just shipping features—in an increasingly complex landscape.
