𝗔 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. 🎾 Last week, I swapped my laptop for a padel racket and joined Bo and Chozhan for a game. A bit of friendly competition, some good rallies and plenty of laughter. One thing I enjoy about padel is how much you depend on your partner. You need to communicate, anticipate each other's moves and trust them to cover the space you can't reach. It reminded me of something we discussed during our Data & AI leadership offsite last month: the importance of trust. As we work towards a more agentic organization at team.blue, trust plays an important role. Between colleagues, across teams and how we work alongside AI. And sometimes, the best way to strengthen those relationships is simply to spend time together outside the usual work environment. Thanks, Bo Brandt Cramer & Chozhan D M, for the great game. Looking forward to the rematch.

AI is changing how we build software. The next big shift will be how we work with it. Earlier this month, we brought together our Data & AI leaders at team.blue to shape our strategy for 2027 and explore what it will take to move towards a truly agentic organization. We had some great discussions about where we're heading and what needs to happen to get there. Three areas were central to our conversations: → 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. How can we evolve from AI-assisted development to AI agents that can take action and support our teams in new ways? → 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁. How do we create the right environment for people, teams and AI systems to work together, with clear accountability and guardrails? → 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. How do we ensure AI can rely on the quality, accessibility and governance of the data behind it? What I appreciated most was the openness of the discussions and the different perspectives in the room. Bringing people together from across the organisation helped us challenge assumptions, exchange ideas and align on where we want to go. At team.blue, our ambition is to move from AI that helps us understand what's happening to AI that helps us act on it, creating real value for our teams and the millions of businesses we support. There's a lot of work ahead and I am excited about what we can build together. Grateful to my amazing team for showing every day what great collaboration looks like.

AI skills aren't one-size-fits-all. Neither should AI learning be. 🤓 At team.blue, we're making AI learning more personalised and practical with AI Pathfinder, an initiative that helps colleagues develop the AI skills most relevant to their roles and everyday work. By combining an interactive AI skills assessment with personalised learning recommendations, AI Pathfinder makes upskilling more relevant to each individual. 📚 And the first results are encouraging: 900 colleagues voluntarily completed the assessment in just three months, taking the first step towards their personalised AI learning journey. Developed through collaboration between our HR Talent Management team, AI team and AI Champions, this initiative reflects our approach to AI transformation: empowering our people with the skills and confidence to put AI into practice. 🔗 Discover the story behind AI Pathfinder in the first comment. #AI #AIUpskilling #LearningAndDevelopment #teamblue

That is what our State of European Business 2026 report found, and it is the problem many of our product teams worked on in the third quarter. Brands across team.blue launched connectors that let customers use their software from inside Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants, so a question that used to mean switching tabs or exporting a report can be answered in the conversation where it was asked. Here is a selection of our third-quarter highlights: • Metricool is now an official connector for Claude and ChatGPT, so customers can ask about performance and schedule content from the conversation, including on the free plan • Shoptet merchants can ask which orders are unpaid or which products are about to run out, and have the assistant update an order or create a coupon • SimplyBook.me business owners can ask for tomorrow’s schedule or see which clients still owe money • iubenda users can scan their site for trackers and generate a privacy and cookie policy without leaving the conversation • Macaly Cloud lets customers build and publish websites and apps from Claude and ChatGPT, and more than 10,000 have been built this way since September • Kolsquare Italia | B Corp™ is one of the first influencer marketing platforms with a native MCP, so marketers can ask for a campaign recap or a creator’s audience breakdown Customers trust our brands with their bookings, campaign data and compliance records, so the first thing they ask about AI is who stays in control. We built the connectors so that an assistant can be useful on real business data while the decision always rests with the person using it. Full release with details on this selection of launches in the comments.
