Going AI native is going to be the biggest change to Product & Technology (R&D) teams since Agile. It's also a table-stake for the SaaSpocalypse. Read more at: ow.ly/o5Pq50ZuK52 #SaaSpocalypse #AI #AINative #AITransformation

It's a myth that good financial outcomes are unobtainable in the SaaSpocalypse. With the right product, hybrid pricing, growth, and margins - premium valuations are still obtainable. OR, creating an EBITDA machine can also get you there. Read more at: ow.ly/UG0O50Zqbf9 #SaaSPocalypse #AI #AITransformation

What was a "good" SaaS product 18-24 months ago is obsolete because of AI. In the first of my series on navigating the SaaSPocalypse, I cover what great looks like now from the UX, API/developer experience, AI, and Analytics perspectives + how to get there.

Hey @APompliano and @cfosilvia - product looks really cool. Unfortunately I can’t use it because you cannot connect to HSBC. Seems like a miss for anyone investing or with global holdings.

The SaaSpocalypse from AI is real. Started a series on how CxOs and senior product/tech leaders can navigate it, starting with what "good" looks like for a B2B SaaS product itself in the age of AI. Read more at: ow.ly/9viX50Zn5mw #SaaSpocalypse #AITransformation #AI

Hey @GeminiApp and @LyalinDotCom - latest Mac Gemini app has a bug. You cannot use Deep Research when starting a chat inside of a Notebook. You can only do so when using a New Chat outside of a notebook.

@lush_amorelli @satyanadella Unpopular opinion - Microsoft should bite a very large bullet and buy Anthropic and treat it as they did GitHub. The personae are aligned - Anthropic is focused on businesses and developers versus trying to be everything to everyone.

@lush_amorelli @grok It’s really no different than when Apple used Google for Search (and they still do) and Maps (which they later replaced). The real question is will this be a Search or a Maps?
