kama.ai Launches Trustworthy Hybrid AI Agents
TORONTO, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — kama.ai, a leader in responsible conversational AI solutions, is pleased to announce the commercial release of the industry's most trustworthy AI Agents powered by GenAI's Sober Second Mind®, the latest addition to its Designed Experiential Intelligence® platform – Release 4.
The new Hybrid AI Agents combine kama.ai's classic knowledge base AI, guided by human values, with a new enterprise Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) process. This in turn is powered by a Trusted Collection feature set that produces the most reliable and accurate generative responses. The Trusted Collection features provide pre-integrated intentional document and collection management with enterprise document repositories like SharePoint, M-Files and AWS S3 Buckets. Additional integrations will be made available upon request.
Optimizing the Human-AI Experience for Enterprise Efficiency
The diagram below shows how Hybrid Agents are informed by both kama's 100% trustworthy Knowledge Graph AI, as well as generative AI enterprise RAG technology – based on the new Trusted Collection feature set.
The process shows how Hybrid Agents improve over time with user feedback. Knowledge Managers and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) review input to refine the system. This creates a positive cycle where responsible AI and human expertise work together to enhance conversations and automate enterprise processes.
Brian Ritchie, CEO and Founder of kama.ai says 'We're responding to market demand to combine reliable enterprise approved content with the highest quality real-time generated responses. This approach grows enterprise knowledge faster – while maintaining maximum accuracy and brand control. Human-AI collaboration continues to prove essential for critical customer-facing enterprise solutions.'
AI chat interfaces using foundational models are popular for employee content creation that connect to large global and enterprise sources. This is a strong use case across the industry. However, kama.ai focuses on autonomous agents to both serve enterprises and their users with minimal risk. Release 4 strengthens this focus by adding a new generation of Responsible GenAI tools.
Josh Willard, Director of Marketing at Canadore College reports,
'The intelligence behind our 'Panther' AI Agent is kama.ai – and it shows. We're seeing improved response times, better student engagement, and fewer emails to manage. It's a win all around.'
Kaiyang Li, Head of Product at kama says, 'Our platform now offers enterprises a multitude of options for internal and external AI Agents – from fully deterministic with zero risk, to hybrid applications with combined deterministic and generative capabilities. In hybrid applications, a generative response risk is mitigated with Trusted Collections, user notifications, and reference links.'
Designed Experiential Intelligence® Release 4 helps enterprise experts work faster with greater ease. It generates draft responses automatically for a Knowledge Manager or SME to review. This is needed for highly sensitive applications (like HR), or for high volume customer facing applications. User inquiries, feedback, and AI drafts all help improve the system. Together, consumers, clients, partners, and SMEs create a more efficient and effective human-AI ecosystem.
GenAI's Sober Second Mind® API for Enterprise Builders
kama.ai Release 4 also introduces a new API supporting 3rd party Hybrid AI Agent builders that can deliver 100% accurate and approved information curated for the enterprise. In these implementations, the kama knowledge graph AI delivers exact, deterministic enterprise information and process orchestration. This while the 3rd party agent is free to deliver generated responses based on its own RAG and real-time governance capabilities.
Enterprise RAG Knowledge Administration
Grounding RAG responses for greater accuracy is essential to delivering reliable answers to customers and employees. With Release 4, new enterprise RAG capabilities empower a new role of Knowledge Administrator within the platform. Knowledge Administrators can use pre-built connectors into enterprise document repositories such as SharePoint, M-Files, or S3 Buckets. These new connectors let Knowledge Administrators intentionally select the most appropriate enterprise documents for a knowledge collection. This group of sanctioned documents are then vectorized and published as Trusted Collections providing more contextually accurate generative responses. Beyond kama.ai's Trusted Collections, Release 4 supports Responsible AI generation using models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google – with options to use custom enterprise models, as well.
By empowering enterprise Knowledge Administrators, Knowledge Managers and SMEs with Trusted Collections and trustworthy RAG capabilities, kama.ai continues its commitment to Responsible AI for enterprises. GenAI's Sober Second Mind® extends kama.ai's traditional trusted knowledge graph AI technology. – As such, human oversight has now been extended into the world of Hybrid AI Agents for maximum flexibility in enterprise applications. It uses near real time human-AI collaboration which includes even more generative AI capabilities to provide a 'best of both worlds' scenario. kama.ai's Release 4 gives the market the security of deterministic AI solutions, tied with the flexibility creative powers of generative AI solutions. All this done to give enterprises a brand-safe AI technology to both drive enterprise efficiency and user satisfaction.

Wildfire smoke, shark pardons and lost 401(k) accounts: Your week in review
Wildfire smoke, shark pardons and lost 401(k) accounts: Your week in review Show Caption Hide Caption Smoke drifting into US from Canada wildfires could impact health Smoke from wildfires in Canada has drifted into Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Midwestern and East Coast states, and as far south as Florida. Canadian wildfire smoke hangs over U.S. Skies were looking milky across much of the United States for days as smoke from wildfires raging in Canada drifted into northern and Midwestern states and dipped even as far south as Florida. The Dakotas, Iowa and most of Minnesota and Wisconsin were under air quality alerts, and the haze hung over major cities including New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Boston. More than 200 wildfires were burning in Canada as of June 3, and more than half were classified as "out of control," Canadian forest fire authorities said. More news about our planet: Sign up for USA TODAY's Climate Point newsletter. Trump pardons Florida divers who freed sharks Presidential pardons have often sparked controversy, but Donald Trump's latest gesture had some teeth to it. Trump granted full clemency to two Florida divers, John Moore Jr. and Tanner Mansell, who were convicted of theft for cutting 19 sharks free from a fisherman's longline in 2020. They had assumed the gear was illegal; it turns out it belonged to a vessel permitted by the federal government to harvest sandbar sharks for research. "Whether people believe in his politics or not, he chose to pardon me ... and only ever wanted to help," Mansell said in a text. "I can't help but feel extremely grateful." A fortune sits in 'lost' 401(k) accounts You might think it would be hard to forget almost $60,000. But at least $1.7 trillion is wasting away in forgotten 401(k) accounts, the financial firm Capitalize found, and the average lost balance is $56,616. How does that happen? People who leave a job "usually have a bunch of things going on,' said David John of the AARP Public Policy Institute, and simply lose track. (More than 47 million Americans quit their jobs in the Great Resignation of 2021.) And someone who leaves a job after only a year or two might be especially prone to overlook a modest balance − which, thanks to the magic of tax-free investment growth, eventually turns into a big balance. Loretta Swit, 'M*A*S*H's beloved 'Hot Lips,' dies Fans, friends and co-stars were remembering Loretta Swit, who starred as Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan through all 11 seasons of TV's hugely popular Korean War dramedy "M*A*S*H" and gave depth and strength to a character who began as an oversexed blond stereotype. Swit, 87, died May 30. "More than acting her part, she created it," star Alan Alda, 89, posted on X. Jamie Farr, 90, who played Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger, told USA TODAY she was his "adopted sister … as close as family can get." The cast was a tight-knit group through the years, Swit once said: "We might as well be joined at the hip." Close isn't good enough for the New York Knicks Some teams just want to win NOW. Maybe that's why the New York Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau, stunning much of the basketball world, just days after the franchise flirted with the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years before falling to the Indiana Pacers. Not bad for a team that had won just 21 games in the 2019-20 season before Thibodeau took over. The Knicks might be forgiven for being a little impatient after their magical run, however: They have not won a title since 1973. (The NBA Finals, with the Pacers facing the Oklahoma City Thunder, tipped off June 5). − Compiled by Robert Abitbol, USA TODAY copy chief

Why Are Gen-Z and Millennial Workers Obsessed With 'Soft Skills' in the Workplace?
In today's rapidly evolving workplace, dominated by advancements in generative AI, a consensus has emerged among younger workers: soft skills—such as empathy, communication, and leadership—are more important for career advancement than purely technical expertise. Deloitte's recent Gen Z and Millennial survey, which includes feedback from 23,000-plus such workers from around the world, reveals that more than eight in 10 young professionals believe these human qualities are essential to stand out and thrive, while only six in 10 believe that generative AI skills are somewhat or highly required. What's behind these numbers? As Elizabeth Faber, Deloitte Global Chief People & Purpose Officer, points out, 'In the age of GenAI, it's the human element that sets professionals apart … Soft skills are the bridge between human and machine, helping individuals navigate complex problems, collaborate across diverse teams, and lead with authenticity in increasingly dynamic environments.' This perspective resonates deeply with Sonali Karmarkar, the 31-year-old Head of Content and Community for YouTube Shopping. Karmarkar emphasizes that 'soft skills are inimitable—they are very difficult to teach yet are so crucial in the professional world.' For her, these skills 'enable one to connect with coworkers, business partners, and direct reports,' shaping how people influence and elevate projects beyond technical know-how. New York City-based career coach Eliana Goldstein echoes this sentiment, noting that while AI is 'infiltrating so many workplaces' and causing concern among many, 'there are people who have fear and concern around [if they'll be] replaced by AI. And if so, when is that going to happen? What do I do about it?' However, Goldstein stresses a reframing of this fear into opportunity: 'Once you plant those seeds, then people do genuinely start to feel that excitement of, oh, this is a really exciting opportunity for me right now; how do I capitalize on it?" According to Deloitte's survey, more than half of Gen Z and millennial workers are already integrating generative AI into their daily tasks—from brainstorming ideas and content creation to data analysis and project management. Yet many recognize AI as a complement, not a substitute, for soft skills. Valerie Chapman, a 26-year-old AI and technology creator, highlights how AI has transformed her work: 'AI has enabled me to scale my outreach, establish myself clearly as a subject matter expert, and amplify my voice in ways previously unimaginable.' However, she stresses that 'AI complements [soft skills] beautifully, allowing us to amplify our voices and share our stories more effectively.' For Chapman, the intersection of AI and soft skills holds promise, especially for historically underserved groups like women, helping them build confidence and advocate for themselves. Goldstein adds that while many believe AI to be intuitive, 'people are definitely still under utilizing it' She continues, 'It's not necessarily that people need tactical training on it; it's more so just about rethinking how they're using it.' She points out common uses such as helping to make emails more polished or aiding in the crafting of sales pitches, emphasizing AI's broad applicability across industries. At the same time, Briana Henry, a 34-year-old Senior Technical Engineer at Namaste Solar Electric, provides a cautionary note. She admits, 'I constantly forget that AI exists' in her highly technical and safety-critical role, where reliance on AI is limited by liability and trust concerns. Henry worries that over-reliance on AI could stunt creative problem-solving and diminish essential hard skills, underscoring that 'people need to have the knowledge and ability to at least review AI results for correctness.' The sentiment that soft skills are increasingly vital is echoed in how younger workers view career advancement. Karmarkar explains, 'Especially as one gets to a more senior level, these intangibles are what set people apart, since technical skill level becomes the baseline.' She sees soft skills as critical for motivating teams, coaching individuals, and adapting in ways technology cannot replicate. Goldstein reinforces this view, highlighting that while technical skills are 'incredibly important,' anybody can learn them through courses or training. In contrast, she explains, 'it is much more difficult to learn soft skills. Either communication just comes naturally to you, or it's incredibly hard, whether because you get nervous talking in front of people or other reasons.' She stresses the irreplaceable role soft skills play alongside AI: 'The human is the one communicating to other teams and leveraging the soft skills they have in order to disseminate AI across an organization or team.' Henry has witnessed this firsthand through her leadership experience. 'I have held leadership positions where I made decisions on hiring or punitive action in the past, and I have seen time and again where people with the soft skills required for the job have excelled and the reason people have required punitive action is because of the lack of their soft skills,' she shares. Chapman adds that in a landscape flooded with AI-generated content, 'genuine human connection and emotional intelligence become incredibly rare and valuable.' For her, the soft skills of storytelling, empathy, and communication are 'the heart of how we connect with technology,' especially for women navigating workplace challenges. While many companies provide some technical training, the development of soft skills often remains optional or undervalued. 'Soft skill trainings are often viewed as 'nice to have' and not mandatory, where employees aren't incentivized for taking time to cultivate their communication,' says Karmarkar. She advocates for mandatory soft skill modules to complement technical training, ensuring workers are fully equipped to collaborate and lead. Goldstein confirms that employer support for soft skills varies widely: 'It depends on leadership. If leadership cares about those things, you'll see it trickle down to the rest of the organization. If not, you won't.' She emphasizes that investing in soft skills will only strengthen workplaces. 'Investing in soft skills will not only help companies be more successful, but it will help in terms of employee retention.' Henry credits her company's cooperative culture for fostering her soft skills, through opportunities in leadership and teamwork: 'Being a co-owner has helped me build my skills with teamwork, communication, problem-solving, leadership, and many other areas of soft skills.' Yet she acknowledges that many companies may lack sufficient support for this development. Chapman, who has built her personal brand publicly, emphasizes self-driven growth: 'I've developed my soft skills by openly sharing my journey on social media… This practice has naturally boosted my confidence, honed my communication skills, and significantly expanded my network.' She warns that without mindful integration of AI, employees might feel anxiety or fear, rather than empowerment, highlighting a critical gap in workplace training. The message from Gen Z and millennial workers is clear: as AI reshapes the technical landscape, the qualities that make us human—our empathy, leadership, and communication—are the true currency of career progression. These skills not only help individuals use technology more effectively but also build authentic connections that machines cannot replicate. Karmarkar sums it up succinctly: 'Soft skills are what will set candidates apart in their ability to use the tech to unlock new solutions, be able to effectively synthesize the information to align to a long-term vision and compellingly communicate to their intended audiences.' In the end, mastering AI is important, but it's the human touch that remains the defining factor in professional success.
