A Penn internist recently had a patient bring "Astrid" to her appointment—not a friend, but an AI chatbot. As Dr. Jeffrey Millstein shares in The Philadelphia Inquirer, this moment crystallized something many of us in health tech have been anticipating: AI is no longer a theoretical future for patient care. It's here, on patients' phones, in exam rooms.

And honestly? It makes sense. When appointments are two weeks out and patient portals are slow, people turn to what's available. AI chatbots are tireless, non-judgmental, and can synthesize vast amounts of information in seconds.

But Dr. Millstein raises critical cautions: these tools can hallucinate, they're designed to please rather than challenge, and they can't form the long-term collaborative relationships that define great primary care.

The key insight? Chatbots have far greater potential as doctor-patient partners, rather than alternatives.

This is exactly the kind of thoughtful implementation challenge we help our clients navigate at Chariot Solutions. Building AI-powered health tech isn't just about the technology—it's about designing systems that integrate with clinical workflows, maintain trust, and genuinely improve outcomes.

Whether you're developing ambient clinical documentation tools, AI-assisted triage platforms, or patient engagement solutions, the question isn't if AI will be part of healthcare—it's how we build it responsibly.

Many developers today are operating like mini venture capitalists, evaluating multiple ideas and projects, deciding which one to fully back.

Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, explains how AI agents are shifting the innovation landscape and why regions like Philly are now more empowered than ever to compete with Silicon Valley.

This clip comes from our recent event, What Does It Mean to Be a Developer in the Age of AI Agents?—a panel exploring how generative tools are transforming the software development lifecycle, team roles, and innovation workflows.

As we pause for the holiday, we're feeling thankful for the people who make Chariot what it is: our team, our clients, and our extended tech community.

Wishing you a warm and restful Thanksgiving from all of us at Chariot Solutions.

Before Stack Overflow. Before meetups. Before developer Twitter. There was Google and it changed everything.

Our Chief AI Officer, Sujan Kapadia, shares how discovering Google as an intern gave him an edge and why AI tools today offer that same kind of leap. They’re not perfect, but they can accelerate how product teams ideate, innovate, and develop. Fast.

That’s a productivity unlock developers can’t afford to ignore. At Chariot, we’re helping teams prepare for what’s next by integrating AI and intelligent agents to accelerate workflows and our decision-making.

From Mr. Potato Head LLMs to vintage video games and trailer life on the road—Chariot Day 2025 had it all.

Last week, our team came together to share what they’ve been thinking about and hacking on; whether it relates to the world of coding or something entirely different like a side project or hobby.

We filled the day with talks, live demos, and plenty of time to connect. Some of the highlights:
• Video Game Preservation Through Emulation with Steve Wood
• Awk and You with Dan Boykis
• When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be a General Contractor with Drew DeCarme
• Mr. Potato Head for LLMs with Sujan Kapadia
• Intro to Online Sports Betting with Mike Rappaport
• Travels with Tabitha with Keith Gregory

And of course… some well-earned hot takes over shared food and drink.

We’re proud of the work we do—but even more proud of the people behind it. Thanks to everyone who shared, presented, and participated. Here’s to more great work (and great stories) in 2026.

When some developers use AI agents and others don’t, productivity gaps start to emerge.

Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, explains why uneven adoption can become a hidden bottleneck and how teams can close the gap by experimenting, learning, and building with together.

This clip is from our recent event, What Does It Mean to Be a Developer in the Age of AI Agents? — a panel discussion exploring how AI coding assistants are reshaping the role of the developer, the software lifecycle, and engineering culture.

The AI conversation continues over coffee, just in time for the holidays.

Chariot’s Chief AI Officer, Sujan Kapadia, is joining the AI and Coffee Chat in the Technical. ly
newsroom to explore how AI coding agents are transforming not just how we build software but how we think about building.

He shares why this is a major shift. We're moving from computers as passive tools to systems that actually build tools for us. It’s similar to the leap from boxed software to downloadable apps, but now that transformation happens every time you prompt an agent.

Thank you to Christopher Wink and the Technical. ly team for creating space for this conversation with local AI practitioners.

Technically Media HQ, 601 Walnut St #1200 West, Philadelphia
Wednesday, Nov 26 from 9:00 to 10:00 AM
Space is limited. Reserve today.

If you’re interested in how AI agents are reshaping developer workflows, speeding up delivery, and redefining productivity, this is the conversation to join.

Building conversational AI into your app? Start here.

Natural language interfaces are changing how we interact with software—making tools faster, more flexible, and easier to use across platforms. But building a reliable, intuitive experience takes more than just plugging in an LLM.

Over a 3-part blog series, Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, shares how to go from basic command parsing to a conversational chat interface, covering architecture, prompt design, and the human experience of using AI in real tools.

Here's a quick recap of what you'll learn:

Part 1: From Natural Language to Action
How to translate user input into structured commands using LLMs and JSON—no heavy frameworks needed.

Part 2: Making Chat Feel Human
How to add conversation history and context-awareness to your assistant—plus trade-offs in prompt design and model performance.

Part 3: Natural Language vs Graphical UX
Where chat shines, where rich UIs still win, and how to combine both for a better experience.

Whether you're experimenting with agents or building full-featured assistants, this series offers hands-on insight from the engineering trenches.

What We’re Building When I recently paired with Claude Code to build a text-based to-do app (code available on Github, disclaimer: mostly generated by Claude), I wanted to add a simple natural language interface. In this post, we’ll build that feature using TypeScript, Node, and an OpenAI model,...

What does it mean to be a developer in the age of AI agents?

At our recent event in Philadelphia, we brought together engineering leaders from Vanguard, ProofPilot, and Chariot Solutions to explore how the rise of AI agents is reshaping software teams, workflows, and the developer experience itself.

The conversation covered everything from accelerating development with AI tools to the cultural, security, and human challenges that come with this transformation.

How do teams maintain trust, clarity, and velocity as AI takes on more responsibilities in the SDLC? What new skills are developers expected to bring to the table?

We unpacked these questions—and many more—with honesty, humor, and a shared sense of urgency.

If AI can write code, where does that leave you—the developer?

Smarter tools are already here. From IDE-integrated assistants to autonomous AI coding agents, the role of the developer is evolving fast.

But change brings questions:
• Will AI replace parts of engineering or push it to new heights?
• What skill sets still matter most—and what's becoming obsolete?
• Can AI be a reliable coding partner or does it just add more technical debt?

Join us for a live, in-person panel with engineers and tech leaders exploring how the developer role is shifting in real time. This is a chance to be in the room with experts who are building with AI, leading teams through change, and redefining what technical excellence looks like.

No livestream. No recording. Bring your questions and your curiosity—this conversation only happens in the room.
