Voices at the Table
AI Friday with Phil is the conversation Progress wanted to listen to and couldn't find. Every month, Phil Miller sits down with Nicole Goldstein and Hinal Patel — plus a rotating bench of guests from across the company — to talk through what's actually moving in enterprise AI.
It's not a product show. It's a working session: what's changing, what's overhyped, what's holding up in production and what's still falling over. The conversations come back to recurring threads — making AI boring, getting it from pilots to production, governing what agents are allowed to do — but every episode is anchored in what happened in the market that month.
One hour. Live on LinkedIn. Archived on YouTube with chapters, transcripts and the questions worth taking back to your team on Monday.

A Working Team, Not a Panel
Three regulars and a rotating bench of guests from across Progress. The cast brings strategy, community and product perspective — and the guests bring whatever the month's conversation needs.
Phil Miller
Leads positioning and content at Progress. The show's anchor — turns the month's biggest AI moves into the conversations operators actually need to have.
Nichol Goldstein
Brings the practitioner lens — the questions community members are bringing up, the experiments they're running and what's working in the wild.
Hinal Patel
Connects what's changing in the market to what enterprises can actually do about it. The "and now what?" voice in every conversation.
Rotating Guests
Marketing leaders, engineers, customer-facing teams. Recent guest: Kate Pendarvis, VP of Marketing at Progress (Episode 03).
What We Keep Coming Back To
Every month is its own conversation, but a few themes keep surfacing. These are the threads that pull the show together — and the conversations the enterprise can't keep avoiding.
Make AI Boring
Predictable, governed and production-grade. The opening thesis from Episode 01 — and the standard we keep coming back to.
From Pilots to Production
Why most enterprise AI gets stuck in the proof-of-concept loop, and what it takes to ship.
Governed Agentic AI
What changes when AI stops answering and starts acting. The layered guardrails that keep agents safe to run.
Context Before Capability
The data and meaning behind the model matter more than the model. What it looks like when a business gets serious about that.
Trusted Enterprise AI
The conditions an AI system has to meet before any serious enterprise lets it touch a decision.
Practical AI
Turning AI ambition into measurable outcomes. Create valuable use cases, prove ROI and scale what works.
