Episode Description

"In the new world, humans will not have to adapt to applications. Applications will just understand what humans want and just get it done."

The fundamental contract between humans and software has been upended by AI. Companies that don’t evolve to embrace this shift will be disrupted by AI-native startups that never knew the old way. As every enterprise scrambles to build AI agents in-house, the smartest ones are realizing what happened with CRMs will happen with AI agents: everyone tries to build, then everyone buys.

This reality drove Deepak Anchala to launch Adopt AI - to help companies transform their static interfaces into dynamic, agentic experiences.

In this conversation with Poorvi Vijay (Principal, Elevation Capital), Deepak reveals why the interface revolution is inevitable, how companies are desperately trying (and failing) to build this themselves, and why Adopt AI is positioned to be the bridge to the agentic era.

Having previously founded and scaled Slintel from zero to multi-million dollar ARR before its acquisition by 6sense, Deepak brings battle-tested insights on building global products and enterprise adoption.
