I’m Franck Depierre, and this blog follows my personal questions and learning journey across digital knowledge, product management, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and climate action.

I write to clarify my thinking, share useful sources and explore.

Some articles are written and reviewed by me with the support of generative AI, used as a research and writing assistant. I remain responsible for the ideas, source selection, fact-checking and final editorial decisions.

The views expressed here are my own. They do not represent those of my employer, clients, partners or any associations with which I am involved.

My personal symbol is the question mark used on lookingforanswers.eu. I designed it when I created this blog, and it still represents the spirit behind it: curiosity, questioning and the search for better answers.

My French-language personal blog is En quête de réponses.

Learning about Data Science?

This is the end of a beautiful summer, and also one of the warmer recorded in France. I’m continuing my journey in the product management world and today I’m living in the product marketing one too. I will blog about this later. During this first half of this year, I read several articles on big data and started to understand how important the data science discipline is. Being able to define a direction/goal to search, collecting the proper data, then using a collection of techniques to extract something others can’t see - it sounds like magic. Also, when I listened to the Udacity Linear Disgression podcast episode “Hunting the Higgs”, I understood people with these skills can be better at solving a problem than the domain experts themselves. Katie Malone explained that in a competition to solve a particle physics problem, the best results came from machine learning people. Then I read the article about Zenefit on the vision mobile website : “Zenefits is an insurance compan...

What I’m learning about AI agents

My learning journey in the world of AI, updated for 2026 Originally published in March 2025. Updated in August 2026. I started this list because I kept seeing the same terms used in different ways. I needed a simple map to understand what each technology actually does, and where it may be useful when bringing AI into a product. AI changes so quickly that a learning journey can become dated in a few months. My first version of this article was an attempt to map the technologies around AI agents and to make sense of the growing number of tools. Since then, the topic has moved from interesting experiments to real business systems. This updated version keeps the original intention: learn in public, organise the landscape, and focus on what is useful in practice. What changed since 2025 In early 2025, most conversations were still about chatbots, prompt engineering and early agent frameworks. In 2026, the more useful question is no longer "which model is the best?" but ...

Embracing Bluesky: A search for authentic dialogue beyond professional networks

LinkedIn is great for professional networking, but where can you have conversations with different people on a wider range of topics? I joined Twitter in 2008, later than many of my peers. Initially, it served as a platform for personal intellectual growth, offering pleasant exchanges focused primarily on computer science, human organisation, design and product management. But the growing awareness of climate issues changed everything. Anger became the dominant tone, and I found myself missing a more constructive environment. I don't want to spend my days in a world full of anger. In search of a new wave of self-improvement and more balanced discussions, I've made the move to: https://bsky.app/profile/lookingforanswers.me  I look forward to connecting with you there for more diverse and enriching conversations.
