Check out Gartner Symposium: https://cxo.news/KGg8XY === Tamar Yehoshua is Chief Product and AI Officer at Atlassian, where AI agents are now direct users of the software her team builds. She led product at Google Search and Slack before joining Atlassian, and in this conversation she explains how the company designs products for both people and agents: the teamwork graph that gives an agent the organizational context it arrives without, who stays accountable when a chain of agents goes wrong, how Atlassian measures AI spending with its CFO, and why she never believed agents would kill SaaS.
Check out Gartner Symposium: https://cxo.news/KGg8XY ======== More than 90% of the code at Snap is now written by AI agents, and a code review agent checks most of it within ten minutes. Saral Jain, SVP, Head of Engineering and CIO at Snap Inc., built the system that makes that safe for nearly a billion monthly users. He explains the golden path of 14 managed agents, the guardrails that account for more than half of the investment, and why accountability still rests with a named human for every change that ships.
Enterprise AI has moved past experimentation and now has to prove its return. Ed Sim, Founder and General Partner of boldstart ventures, ranked the No. 1 seed investor in the Business Insider Seed 100 two years running, sees hundreds of AI startup pitches a year, and writes the first check into companies enterprises buy from years later. He wrote the first check into Snyk and backed Protect AI, which Palo Alto Networks acquired for more than $700 million.
