Thanks to everyone who joined us for State of Egnyte: Fall 2026! We loved sharing what we've been working on and what's coming next. Whether you joined us live on October 15 or are catching up with the recording, we've pulled together a recap of the biggest announcements, product updates, and a look at what's ahead.
Contextual Knowledge. Adaptive Intelligence.
Vineet Jain, CEO, shared how Egnyte is helping organizations move from experimenting with AI to putting it to work across the business. More capable models alone aren’t enough. AI needs accurate business context, cost-effective retrieval, and governance that scales as agents take on more responsibility.
Building on that vision, Amrit Jassal, CTO, and Mike Soldan, SVP of Global Technical Solutions, took a closer look at the technology making it possible. They explained how the Egnyte Context Layer connects content, people, projects, permissions, and business systems, then continuously enriches that knowledge as work changes. The result is more accurate, efficient, and permission-aware AI.
