Observer | How Writer CEO May Habib Transforms Language Tech Into Enterprise A.I. by Tim Keary
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
May Habib, a Lebanese‑Canadian refugee who grew up as her family’s English interpreter, co‑founded the language‑technology startup Writer (originally Qordoba) and now serves as its CEO. At the recent HumanX conference she explained why most enterprise generative‑AI pilots flop: companies focus on incremental tweaks rather than restructuring entire workflows. Writer tackles this by offering end‑to‑end AI agents and a proprietary suite of large‑language models (Palmyra) that automate multi‑step tasks, integrate with existing systems, and include robust governance controls such as layered kill‑switches. With over 300 enterprise customers—including Salesforce, Airbnb, and major firms in finance, healthcare, and retail—Writer has deployed more than 15,000 agents and positions itself as a rare pre‑ChatGPT player built for enterprise compliance, data control, and rapid, decisive implementation of AI‑first operations.

#Cigna tracks every minute that its staff #doctors spend deciding whether to pay for health care.
Dr. Debby Day said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers,” Day said.

“Not Medically Necessary”:
Inside the Company Helping America’s Biggest Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Care
Every day, patients across America crack open envelopes with bad news.
Yet another health insurer has decided not to pay for a treatment that their doctor has recommended.
But the insurance companies don’t always make these decisions.
Instead, they often outsource medical reviews to a largely hidden industry
that makes money by turning down doctors’ requests for payments, known as #prior #authorizations.
Call it the denials for dollars business.The biggest player is a company called #EviCore by #Evernorth, which is hired by major American insurance companies
and provides coverage to 100 million consumers
— about 1 in 3 insured people.
It is owned by the insurance giant #Cigna.A ProPublica and Capitol Forum investigation found that
EviCore uses an algorithm backed by artificial intelligence,
which some insiders call “the dial,”
that it can adjust to lead to higher denials.Some contracts ensure the company makes more money the more it cuts health spending.
And it issues medical guidelines that doctors have said delay and deny care for patients.EviCore and companies like it approve prior authorizations
“based on the decision that is more profitable for them,” said Barbara McAneny, a former president of the American Medical Association and a practicing oncologist.
