Why Solution Engineering Needs Its Own Operating System, with Edward Kandel (252)

But yes, and our bigger vision is actually...

as more and more AI companies move away from SaaS 1.0, you sign a contract, we're good to go, and it's actually speed to go live usage, and especially as everyone's features become commoditized, everyone's in a red ocean, unlike before.
