How this Bangkok hospital turns to agentic AI to transform patient services
Bumrungrad International Hospital, one of Asias most prominent private healthcare providers, is deploying AI across its contact centre operations as part of a broader push to modernise how it serves patients — and, eventually, how it manages care from admission to discharge.

Ecosystem Roundup: Prompts are not permissions, and Asia is running out of time
The Amazon v. Perplexity ruling did something deceptively simple: it severed user consent from platform authorisation. That single distinction dismantles the assumption quietly underpinning most agentic commerce deployments, that a user clicking allow is enough to transfer liability downstream. It is not. And in Asia, where super-app architectures stack social, commerce, logistics, and finance onto [] The post Ecosystem Roundup: Prompts are not permissions, and Asia is running out of time appeared first on e27 .

From US$60K to US$55K: The data pointing to Bitcoin’s next leg down
Bitcoin currently sits at US$62,864.20 and presents a truly fascinating case study in market manipulation and leveraged gambling. Many retail participants mistakenly view the recent price action as a genuine recovery. The current rally completely lacks genuine structural support. The US$60,000 level demonstrates weak buying pressure, and we have witnessed three lower lows since mid-May.

The job description is lying to you, and it’s costing you your best hires
Here is something most hiring managers already know but rarely say out loud: the job description they just posted is not accurate. It was not accurate the day it was written.

Ask whether that investment is actually producing people who can work differently because of AI — and the answer becomes much harder to give. This is the gap I keep running into. Not a lack of intention. [] The post Is our talent pipeline ready for the AI economy? Not in the way we think appeared first on e27 .

The capital cost strategy: Why high initial investment is your strongest protection
Modern entrepreneurship dictates that we must be software-first, where there is low capital expenditure, rapid prototyping, and infinite scalability. This approach is designed to attract venture capital, which views hardware, inventory, and physical assets as toxic liabilities that inhibit explosive growth. The result is a market saturated with businesses that are US$50,000 to start and [] The post The capital cost strategy: Why high initial investment is your strongest protection appeared first on e27 .
