Build this week made one thing clear: the enterprise agent era is here.

Microsoft put OpenClaw at the center of it and spent the keynote on governance and containment, how to let an autonomous agent act on real data safely.

For those of us in healthcare, that raises a sharper question. Enterprise agents live in work data. A patient's health agent would live in the clinical record.

The risk surface is not the same, and neither is the governance bar.
Worth discussing in this community:

What does agent governance look like when the data is a patient's medical record, not a work document?

Where does SMART on FHIR sit as the access layer?

Is the NIST AI Risk Management Framework the right organizing lens for patient-facing health AI?

Curious what the builders and clinicians here think.

This is the conversation healthcare should be having while the enterprise works out its own version.

AI agents are moving from experimentation to production. The next challenge is trust.

As organizations build more agentic systems, the question is no longer just whether an AI agent can complete a task.

The better question is:

Can teams verify what it did, why it did it, and whether the outcome can be trusted?

Our founder, Paul Swider will be speaking at M365 Community Days NYC on July 31 with a session focused on exactly that:

From Vibes to Verifiable with Tula, OpenClaw, and Waza

This session will explore practical approaches for making AI-assisted work more grounded, testable, and accountable, especially for teams building agents that need to hold up in real-world production environments.

For builders, architects, and AI leaders working toward verifiable outcomes, this is a conversation worth joining.

Last night was a reminder of why we love this community and why we do what we do.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for BOSHUG at Boston Tech Week. We were thrilled to bring together so many passionate people interested in healthcare, AI, cloud, and enterprise technology.

The conversations don't stop here.

Boston Tech Week is still underway, and there are many great opportunities to connect with innovators, founders, builders, and industry leaders across the city.

We hope you'll continue exploring, learning, and supporting the broader Boston tech community.

And of course, we're already excited for our next BOSHUG meetup on June 30.

See you there!

Boston Tech Week Day 3 is here, and the energy is real.

Today's calendar is packed with healthcare AI, agent infrastructure, biotech, founders, builders.

Boston is showing up for this week in a big way, and we are proud to be part of it as an official founding host.

Tonight, BOSHUG brings the healthcare AI community together at the Microsoft NERD Center for our monthly community meetup.

Our founder Paul Swider takes the stage with a session that goes straight to the heart of what enterprise healthcare teams need to know right now, how to own the runtime, not just pick the tools.

This is what Boston Tech Week is about. Not just the hype. The work.

If you are registered, we will see you tonight at 5:30 PM at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge. Come ready to build!

Real enterprise agents are heterogeneous.

Tonight we’ll explore how Microsoft infrastructure, OpenClaw, Tula, and Waza come together to create AI systems that are:

✔️ Inspectable
✔️ Self-hosted
✔️ Permission-scoped
✔️ Verifiable

Join us at Microsoft NERD Center, or catch the livestream if you can’t make it onsite.

Tomorrow at Boston Tech Week Meetup, our founder Paul Swider takes the BOSHUG stage to walk through something he just shipped.

A patient portal built by a patient, for the patient, in a weekend. Five hospitals pulled via SMART on FHIR. ICD-10 Z codes extracted from chat history. Air quality, Census ACS, and Garmin HRV all sitting in the same longitudinal record. All running on hardware the patient owns.

If you build healthcare software in Boston, this is the session worth showing up for.

The question most enterprise teams are asking is the wrong one.

"Which model should we use?" "Which vendor?"

Paul Swider says stop there. Real agents are heterogeneous. They pull from multiple models, multiple vendors. The teams that win are the ones who own the runtime, not the ones who pick the right tool.

Tomorrow at Boston Tech Week, Paul presents live at the Microsoft NERD Center, walking through a complete reference architecture for enterprise-controlled AI agents built on Microsoft infrastructure.

Azure, Entra ID, Microsoft Graph, OpenClaw, Tula, and Waza evals. All of it, live, with healthcare as the real-world use case.

You will leave with a pattern for agent systems that are inspectable, self-hosted, and testable.

Something your enterprise can actually trust inside a live workflow.

Own the Runtime: Microsoft Infrastructure for Verifiable Enterprise Agents.
Tomorrow. 5:30 PM. Microsoft NERD Center, Cambridge.

While you're enjoying the long weekend, something big is starting tomorrow.

Boston Tech Week kicks off on Tuesday, May 26th, the very first edition, brought to Boston by a16z and the Boston Healthcare Cloud & AI Community is one of the official founding hosts.

That means this Thursday, May 28th, we are hosting our May Community Meetup as an official Boston Tech Week event at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge.

Paul Swider, our community founder, takes the stage with a live session on building verifiable enterprise AI agents using Microsoft infrastructure and OpenClaw, with healthcare as the real-world use case.If you work at the intersection of healthcare and AI, this room was built for you.

Tickets are complimentary. Space is limited.

What does it mean to “own the runtime” in enterprise AI?

It means:
✔️ Owning permissions
✔️ Owning infrastructure
✔️ Verifying behavior
✔️ Controlling integrations
✔️ Avoiding dependency on a single vendor or model

At BOSHUG’s Boston Tech Week meetup, we’ll explore how organizations can build inspectable, testable, enterprise-controlled AI systems using Azure, OpenClaw, Microsoft Graph, and Waza.

Healthcare organizations especially need AI systems that are:
• auditable
• secure
• verifiable
• operationally governed

This conversation is becoming critical across healthcare and enterprise AI.
