Chris Payne, Director of Product Strategy MFT at Axway, talks with Valentina Petrache, Product Line Director Workbench/MFT, and Razvan Chita Ionescu, Principal Software Architect MFT, about AI in managed file transfer. They explain how Axway takes AI ideas from concept to production, then Razvan demos a prototype of AI chat and root cause analysis inside Axway Workbench.
