AI agents shift value to execution layers
The discussion highlighted a shift in enterprise software value from static systems of record to dynamic systems of execution and coordination.
The argument
The guests argued that the real economic leverage in enterprises lies in coordinating complex, cross-functional workflows rather than just storing data. AI agents act as an execution layer that sits on top of, connects, and enriches legacy CRMs and ERPs.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Enterprise software spend shifting from seat licenses to outcome-based or consumption-based pricing
- ✓Legacy database and CRM providers reporting increased API integrations from third-party AI agent platforms
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸High initial deployment costs requiring forward-deployed engineers to seed the context
- ▸Integration friction with legacy, highly fragmented enterprise systems
Hear it yourself
"Well, look, we're here to kinda talk about the company and the incredible journey that you've been on. I know when we first met you, there had been a lot of buzz amongst YC founders and other folks about how you guys are sort of at the edge of the technology and then really getting a lot of pull from a go to market perspective. So maybe take us back in time to the little office that had four or five people on 20th Street and what the origins of the company and the product were. 100%. So Luis and I met on our second day of college, just to set the scene, ever since we've been building stuff together."
