Uber Embeds AI Engineers in Finance and Legal Teams on Two-Week Cycles

Chief Technology Officer Praveen Neppalli Naga has deployed internal Agentic Pods to shadow employees and build workflow software, with financial reporting times cited as an early metric.

Uber Chief Technology Officer Praveen Neppalli Naga has deployed teams of AI engineers directly into non-technical departments including finance, legal, marketing, customer support, human resources, and procurement. These units, designated internally as Agentic Pods, are tasked with observing daily operations and building software to alter how work is completed within those specific business functions [1]. The deployment places technical staff inside operational units to identify bottlenecks and construct tailored systems rather than developing tools in isolation from the workflows they are meant to serve [7].
