The a16z Show
Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

So before we get like super granular about what these problems are and what the opportunity space is, like I feel like we should talk about what Workday is doing right now because like it's not like they've been sitting on their asses.

Should we just kind of talk through a couple of these categories and kind of what you've seen, what you've heard, the kind of founders that you're talking to, also the kind of demands that you're hearing from Fortune 500s and just kind of like, what does this look like?
