Akka’s 20-Year Journey to the Heart of Agentic AI

March 11, 2026

While the rest of the world is just waking up to the realities of “agentic AI,” Akka CEO Tyler Jewell joins us today to explain why his company has actually been building the foundation for it for the last 20 years. From powering systems that handle 2 billion users daily to deploying highly regulated AI platforms for global giants like Manulife, Akka’s distributed systems framework is moving from open source obscurity straight into the C-suite. We’re moving beyond “personal productivity” chatbots and into a world of “self-explaining and self-contained” AI swarms, where solving the cognitive overload of the modern developer means redefining the architecture of the enterprise itself.
