Dr. Harish Kotadia Ph.D.

Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), United States

I am an Enterprise AI Architect with 20+ years of experience in IT consulting organizations serving Fortune 100 clients, specializing in agentic AI systems built on Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI. My work in regulated financial services — including auto loan and credit card origination — shapes my core thesis: instructions in, results out was IT; intent in, outcomes out is agentic AI.

I am the author of Intent In, Outcomes Out: A Practitioner's Field Guide to Agentic AI for the Enterprise (Amazon, 2026) and creator of the Five-Stage Agentic AI Roadmap (Prompted–Piloted–Governed–Assured–Autonomous), a maturity model for moving agents from pilot to accountable production. I also publish the largest publicly searchable, source-linked index of enterprise agentic AI deployments — 315 cases across 40+ countries — at AgenticAIArch.com, and write the Agentic AI Architect newsletter on LinkedIn.

I hold a Ph.D. in Marketing Management with doctoral research in marketing analytics.

What Is Agentic AI Technology? A Practitioner’s Field Map of the Enterprise Stack
Import from wordpress feed
July 19, 2026
“Agentic AI technology is the software stack that lets an enterprise hand a system an outcome to achieve rather than a script to execute”  © Dr. Harish Kotadia, 2026 — the model, memory, tools, identity, guardrails, and observability that turn a goal into governed, auditable action.

Why Agentic AI Budgets Are Surging in 2026 — and the Fix
Import from wordpress feed
July 13, 2026
Agentic AI budgets are breaking in 2026, and not because the models are bad. They are breaking because enterprises are deploying agents without mapping token spend to projects and outcomes. Agentic AI cost attribution is the practice of tagging every token an agent consumes to a named project, workf

Why I Wrote This Book on Agentic AI
Import from wordpress feed
July 12, 2026
Over the past eight months, I have had the opportunity to speak with senior technology professionals at Fortune 500 companies while evangelizing agentic AI solutions. What I realized surprised me: many of them were not doing agentic AI right. Not because of lack of talent or budget, but because they

Two Agentic AI Case Studies – One Success, One Reversal And What Separates Them I have spent this year documenting agentic AI wins. This edition is different. I want to put a genuine success story next to a genuine reversal, side by side, because the gap between them is not about the technolog

Agentic AI’s Autonomy Trap – A Case Study

July 05, 2026
I have spent this year writing about agentic AI wins across banking, healthcare, and manufacturing. A European fintech company is the case I keep coming back to for a different reason. It is the clearest public record of a company that pushed straight past Governed toward a claimed Autonomous, skipp

Agentic AI in Healthcare: The Prior Authorization Case Study
Import from wordpress feed
July 04, 2026
For as long as I have been building agentic AI systems, I have heard a version of the same objection when the conversation turns to healthcare. Protected health information cannot touch an AI agent, they say. The liability is too high, the compliance burden too strict, the margin for a confident wro

The Agentic AI Roadmap Stage Behind Tesla Robotaxi Headline

July 03, 2026
Tesla turned on unsupervised Robotaxi service in Miami. No safety monitor in the seat, live in a geofenced zone covering West Miami, Doral, and Coral Gables. Florida is now the first state outside Texas to get it, and Miami is the fourth city in the network after Austin, Dallas, and Houston. I read

Intent In, Outcomes Out: A Practitioner's Field Guide to Agentic AI for the Enterprise
Independently published (Amazon KDP)
July 10, 2026
A practitioner's field guide to building and governing agentic AI systems in the enterprise. Drawing on production experience in regulated auto loan and credit card origination, this book introduces the Five-Stage Agentic AI Roadmap and makes one argument: the model is a commodity — the loop, governed from day one, is the product.
