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.

Weekly output: AI compliance risks, Mint Mobile bundle, AI vulnerability detection, AI driving logistics, Al Gore on AI

I was in the Bay Area for work this week… and I’ll be back there starting Tuesday for NTT Research’s Upgrade conference (as like last year, the organizers are covering my travel expenses). I did not set out to spend this much of April propping up commercial aviation, but once again multiple travel opportunities lined up.

Patreon readers got a bonus post from me Thursday about one of those trips: my brief visit to Chicago for the Online News Association’s conference.

If you’re reading this somewhere near Fairfax County, you can quiz me in person Saturday afternoon at a joint meeting of the Potomac Area Technology and Computer Society and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s Personal Computer User Group. I will be showing up with a bag of tech-event swag that I don’t plan on driving home with.

4/7/2026: Building for Security, Compliance, and Real-World Risk, HumanX

My first panel at this year’s edition of the AI conference that took me to Vegas last March had me quizzing Spencer Schaefer, founder and CTO of the healthcare-delivery firm Lunar Analytics; Galina Antova, CEO of the information-security startup Kai; and Campbell Brown, co-founder and CEO of the AI-evaluation company Forum AI, about how their companies are leveraging AI in ways that they hope will not lead to hostile headlines.

4/7/2026: Mint Mobile Launches $45 Bundle of Home and Mobile 5G Broadband, PCMag

I had just enough free time at HumanX to pick up this story about T-Mobile’s most popular prepaid brand offering a bundle of fixed and mobile 5G for much less than what T-Mobile charges.

4/8/2026: Anthropic: Our New Model Is So Powerful, Only a Few Partners Can Try It Out, PCMag

After seeing that my colleague James Peckham was writing about Anthropic’s automated vulnerability-finding model Mythos, I contributed a writeup from a talk that old-head security expert Alex Stamos had given the day before at HumanX about “the coming AI bug-pocalypse.”

4/8/2026: The AI Engines Driving the Future of Logistics, HumanX

My second HumanX panel featured one person I’d already interviewed (Aurora Innovation president Ossa Fischer, whom I talked to at Web Summit Vancouver last year for a Fast Company story) and one I did not meet IRL until backstage (Shoaib Makani, CEO and co-founder of Motive).

4/9/2026: Former VP Al Gore: AI Models Are Probably Aware of Their Existence, PCMag

For the second year in a row, HumanX’s opening-night programming featured a former vice president who had been unable to win a promotion from American voters. Seeing Gore get all wonky in front of this tech crowd reminded me of what I liked about him in 2000… and what George W. Bush was able to run against with a plainspoken approach that hid how bad he would prove at so many tasks.

San Francisco City Hall art director: "Is that bust of Gavin Newsom ready to display next to the statues of our other former mayors?" Sculptor: "Sure thing - real fuckin' sexy just like you asked" Art director: "what" (Last night's #HumanX reception happened there; such gorgeous architecture.)

I did not expect to see Neal Stephenson doing a panel at #HumanX, and I also did not expect that session to feature him critiquing the class structure in Lord of the Rings. "The Bagginses don't do anything," he said. "They're landed gentry, right?" Later: "Sam Gamgee is probably illiterate."

Fascinating to read this after watching @[email protected]'s #HumanX talk today about the "AI bug-pocalypse"--as he put it, "we are now at the point where foundation models are better than humans at finding bugs." One unplanned side effect: "Open-source maintainers are completely at their limit."

Hello from San Francisco, where I'm here for the #HumanX AI conference. This evening closed out with former VP Al Gore, today wearing his "chair, Generation Investment Management" hat. He said that while the U.S. is in "a climate policy recession," "the market is still choosing renewables."

Weekly output: 5G platforms, AI in financial services, AI and supply chains, Kamala Harris on AI, AI infrastructure, Gmail’s AI calendar integration, Android 16, AI and information security

It’s a rare week when my work doesn’t touch on AI at all, but moderating panels at a conference devoted to that subject–and writing up two other talks there–helped ensure that AI figured in all but two of the items below.

3/10/2025: Practical means profitable: Telco talk about building services on 5G’s framework, Light Reading

My MWC Barcelona coverage for outside clients closed out with this writeup for this trade-pub client–my first there in a few months–of a panel in which telco executives talked about how they were building new lines of business on their 5G platforms.

Patreon readers, however, got one more post about MWC in which I shared three other highlights from the show.

3/10/2025: Banking on AI for personalized customer experiences, HumanX

The first panel I did at this conference–in Las Vegas for its first year, moving to San Francisco next year–had me quizzing Better.com’s Vishal Garg, Clearcover’s Kyle Nakatsuji, Honeybook’s Colleen Stauffer, Sunrise AI’s Deepak Shrivastava and S&P Global’s Bhavesh Dayalji about how they see AI changing customer service.

3/10/2025: AI-powered supply chains: From farm to table and beyond, HumanX

Since this panel–featuring Altana’s Peter Swartz, Fusion Fund’s Lu Zhang and Choco AI’s Daniel Khachab–focused on agriculture, I opened it by telling the audience that I found the subject particularly interesting because I eat food.

3/11/2025: Kamala Harris Urges Those Working on AI to Consider Trust, Empathy, PCMag

The former vice president–whom I last saw in person in October from much farther away–was a late addition to the conference agenda. I hustled to get from the airport to the conference hotel, check in, drop by bag and get over to the event in time to get a seat in the third row for the Sunday-evening program that ended with Harris.

3/11/2025: Rethinking infrastructure: Custom solutions for the AI era, HumanX

My big takeaway from the conversation I had onstage with Sid Sheth of d-Matrix and Ami Badani of Arm: Industry hype about AGI (“artificial general intelligence” that could replicate a human brain) is a distraction, and not a particularly helpful one at that.

3/11/2025: Gmail Gets AI Calendar Feature That Apple Added to Its Mail App in 2007, PCMag

I missed this Google announcement Monday but had to write about it once I realized that the feature Google touts as an AI advancement is something that Apple delivered with plain old software in Mac OS X Leopard 18 years ago.

3/13/2025: Android 16 Inches Toward a Launch With Accessibility-Focused Third Beta Release, PCMag

Google PR gave me an advance on the news of third beta release of Android 16.

3/14/2025: Ex-Facebook CISO Warns: 95% of Bugs in Your AI System Haven’t Been Invented Yet, PCMag

I always learn something when Alex Stamos talks about information security, and I was happy to share that with PCMag readers.

3/10/2025: Practical means profitable: Telco talk about building services on 5G’s framework, Light Reading

My MWC Barcelona coverage for outside clients closed out with this writeup for this trade-pub client–my first there in a few months–of a panel in which telco executives talked about how they were building new lines of business on their 5G platforms.

Patreon readers, however, got one more post about MWC in which I shared three other highlights from the show.

3/10/2025: Banking on AI for personalized customer experiences, HumanX

The first panel I did at this conference–in Las Vegas for its first year, moving to San Francisco next year–had me quizzing Better.com’s Vishal Garg, Clearcover’s Kyle Nakatsuji, Honeybook’s Colleen Stauffer, Sunrise AI’s Deepak Shrivastava and S&P Global’s Bhavesh Dayalji about how they see AI changing customer service.

3/10/2025: AI-powered supply chains: From farm to table and beyond, HumanX

Since this panel–featuring Altana’s Peter Swartz, Fusion Fund’s Lu Zhang and Choco AI’s Daniel Khachab–focused on agriculture, I opened it by telling the audience that I found the subject particularly interesting because I eat food.

3/11/2025: Kamala Harris Urges Those Working on AI to Consider Trust, Empathy, PCMag

The former vice president–whom I last saw in person in October from much farther away–was a late addition to the conference agenda. I hustled to get from the airport to the conference hotel, check in, drop by bag and get over to the event in time to get a seat in the third row for the Sunday-evening program that ended with Harris.

3/11/2025: Rethinking infrastructure: Custom solutions for the AI era, HumanX

My big takeaway from the conversation I had onstage with Sid Sheth of d-Matrix and Ami Badani of Arm: Industry hype about AGI (“artificial general intelligence” that could replicate a human brain) is a distraction, and not a particularly helpful one at that.

3/11/2025: Gmail Gets AI Calendar Feature That Apple Added to Its Mail App in 2007, PCMag

I missed this Google announcement Monday but had to write about it once I realized that the feature Google touts as an AI advancement is something that Apple delivered with plain old software in Mac OS X Leopard 18 years ago.

3/13/2025: Android 16 Inches Toward a Launch With Accessibility-Focused Third Beta Release, PCMag

Google PR gave me an advance on the news of third beta release of Android 16.

3/14/2025: Ex-Facebook CISO Warns: 95% of Bugs in Your AI System Haven’t Been Invented Yet, PCMag

I always learn something when Alex Stamos talks about information security, and I was happy to share that with PCMag readers.

Entertaining and enlightening talk at #HumanX from @stamos.org about what AI is doing to information security (aka "the only part of computer science that gets worse every year"). "Have humility," he said. "95% of the bugs in your AI system have not been invented yet."

An unusual speaker at #HumanX: Colin Kaepernick. Most of his panel with Business Insider's Ben Bergman covered his creator-support firm Lumi Story AI, but Bergman had to ask about the QB's ostracism by the NFL. Kaepernick said he still works out: "I will forever be ready to step on a field."

I’m at #HumanX this week!

#Harris is hiding from the media and the public, but she is meeting in PRIVATE with entrepreneurs and investors all the same — Building #pecuniaryCapital instead of spending #politicalCapital.

There's growing counterprogramming to #SXSW in March. The #HumanX conference in Las Vegas overlaps with the Nerd Spring Break event and is poised to be a big stop for #AI enthusiasts. Unfortunately, I can't make it, and now I have serious FOMO after seeing the lineup.

I’m sitting out SXSW

The second weekend of this March will not treat me to a few things that have been constants in my late-winter business travel since 2012: a taco- and BBQ-centric diet, the squawks of grackles, panel FOMO, and sore feet from walking up and down the streets of Austin.

I’m breaking that streak of covering SXSW in person (including moderating panels at this conference in 2012 and 2019) not because I’m tired of that event or its excesses but because of other events.

One is MWC Barcelona, which this year takes place a week later than in previous years. That scheduling means I’d either spend barely half a day at home between returning from Spain and flying out to Austin–or I’d have to fly from Barcelona to Austin, resulting in 12 days in a row away from my family.

The other is HumanX, a new AI conference in Las Vegas that runs from March 9 to 13–overlapping half of SXSW–and whose organizers saw fit to invite me to moderate a few panels there. As much as I vastly prefer Austin to Vegas, comped travel beats paying my own way, especially when that involves SXSW-inflated lodging expenses. So that officially shut the door on my going to Marketing Spring Break.

The final plot twist to my late-winter schedule came with the Web Summit people asking if I’d like to speak at Web Summit Qatar. I had passed on that last year because this new addition to their conference lineup overlapped with MWC, but this time it happens the week before. And since I’d heard good things about last year’s event and was curious to see that part of the Middle East, I’m off to Doha in a week and change.

The catch here is that because Web Summit Qatar itself ends only two days before the first MWC pre-conference events start, I’d have little more than a day at home between crossing the Atlantic westbound and then flying back across it eastbound. Instead of that overdose of jet lag, I will spend 12 days in a row away from my wife and our kid–but not entirely away from family, since I’ll stay with my wife’s sister and her family in London for those between-conference days. I know I’ll appreciate that chance to reconnect with a part of my non-work life, even if it comes with elevated odds of my stepping on a Lego.
