you know, AI agentic, like, you know, kind of tool calls, like search and like research about the company, like synthesize, like yeah, exactly.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
Um, yeah.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
And like, you know, we do all that stuff, but to me, like the more interesting, you know, kind of disruptions underneath that are like one, like, you know, are people, do people even want to come into your interface anymore?
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
And this is, yeah, that's what I was going to ask.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
Yeah, I think it's like, I think the right move is like hybrid headless, right?

I think the whole, look, if you wanted just like a backend database, you could use like Postgres, like Supabase, right?
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
And there's like PHP, my admin equivalents, like modern day ones, right?
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
Like Prisma has its own version of it.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
that are OK or they're good.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
But I think what most people actually want, especially in a business context, is you want the database, but you want to have proper permissioning.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
You want to have proper collaboration.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
And most importantly, you don't want to exclusively interface with the data through an agent.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
You want to do that a lot of the time.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
But it's really helpful to actually go in and see the actual data.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
I think of it as the equivalent of, even though agentically you can generate all your code, and you should as a frontier developer, does that mean you never want to inspect any lines of code ever?
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
No.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
You still want to see a diff of all the actual code files change, whether that's in your IDE or in GitHub or whatever.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
And so I think the equivalent here is, like, you want to be able to drop down into a really nice interface.
TBPN
Tim Cook Retires, Mark Gurman Joins, Images 2.0 | Howie Liu, Scott Stevenson, Alex Wiltschko, Spiros Xanthos, Carolina Aguilar, Jake Jurewicz
And we've done some work around, like, kind of figuring out what's the best blend of the two, right?

So, like, with ChatGPT, for instance, we have kind of a first-class integration where you can go in through ChatGPT and, like, interact with your data and your table and say, like, hey, pull me, like, all the customers that are, like, waiting for an outreach from me.
