Snapchat CEO: Why distribution has become the most important moat | Evan Spiegel

I can very, very easily get a sense for the hotspots in the company, the priority areas, and combined with all of our dashboards and metrics about the way that people are using our service, I feel like I have a really good sense for what's happening in the company.

I think what's been most exciting for me in terms of AI is that it's enabling the type of leadership structure

that I've always wanted, which is, you know, very flat, you know, very fast moving.

And I think, you know, having an AI co-pilot to help me do that's been a big deal.

Yeah, I mean, that I've done in Glean, which is great.

Obviously, you can build all sorts of stuff in cloud.

I think one of the things that we're thinking a lot about is just taking the entire workflow and enabling it with an agent.

So for example, taking a product idea and with our go-to-market agent, taking that product idea, writing the spec, identifying the relevant folks who need to be involved in sign-offs and understanding it, actually helping to do the risk analysis on the product from a legal trust and safety perspective,

Writing the go-to-market materials like the blog, et cetera, we're working now on actually building the visuals as well.

But doing that in one shot is really wild.

So if we can, uh, define a job to be done clearly enough that we can build an agent to do it, uh, that, that can really create a lot of, a lot of lift.

Uh, we've been using Claude to do a lot of the work, um, you know, across snap.

Well, I think for me, like we're in an industry where so much of the conversation is focused on technology.
