Two nights ago in Vancouver, we sat down for dinner with our friends at Salesforce and a room full of people who've heard every AI pitch there is. Instead of pitching, we asked questions and did a lot of listening.
What are you actually running into? Where does the tech help, and where's it just noise?
One theme kept coming back around the room: most of the hard problems in these businesses aren't AI problems. They're the same people, process, and tools challenges that have always been hard. AI just adds a few more tools to the kit, and it only gets picked up when it solves something real.
Thanks to everyone who gave us a few hours and an honest conversation. More of these, please.
And yes, that's John mid-story in the second photo. He's saving the full version for Dreamforce. Catch his session, "Agent Fabric: See, Control, and Govern Every Agent," Thursday, September 17 at 2:00 PM.
