  • Ep211: Going All In - How Monday.com Rebuilt Its Mission With Agentic AI
    Jun 22 2026

    With 250,000 customers and $1.2B in revenue, Monday.com's CPTO explains why they threw out their roadmap and rebuilt everything around agentic AI.

    Topics Include:

    • Daniel Lereya joined Monday.com when it had just 30 people and five engineers.
    • He grew the R&D org from five engineers to roughly 900 over a decade.
    • Three years ago Daniel became Monday.com's first ever CPTO.
    • Monday.com initially approached AI by adding small features across the product.
    • They called this early phase "sprinkling AI dust" — helpful but not transformative.
    • A pivotal board meeting made Daniel realise AI hadn't changed Monday's core value.
    • Monday.com decided to rethink its mission from first principles around AI.
    • The new mission: AI agents that actually execute work, not just manage it.
    • AI gives businesses an "infinite workforce" regardless of company size.
    • Agents can now do hyper-personalised work at a scale humans simply cannot.
    • Monday's platform puts agents at the centre, replacing boards and dashboards.
    • Shared context and human-in-the-loop handoffs make their agents uniquely powerful.
    • Monday ran an "AI month" — pausing the entire 900-person builder org to transform.
    • The month rebuilt team mindset and energy, reminding staff of early startup days.
    • Monday also ran an "agentic week" where every department built their own agents.
    • Finance built agents to automatically match incoming payments to customer accounts.
    • Scaling AI adoption internally remains the biggest challenge across businesses today.
    • Monday introduced "effective AI" — balancing capability with cost efficiency.
    • They acquired voice AI startup One AI to add specialised model capabilities.
    • On pricing, Monday shifted to a hybrid seats-plus-AI-credits consumption model.

  • Ep210: Resilience at Machine Speed - PagerDuty's Path to Autonomous Operations
    Jun 9 2026

    PagerDuty SVP Rukmini Reddy explains why AI is making software operations exponentially more complex — and why the companies that learn and recover fastest will be the ones that win.

    Topics Include:

    • PagerDuty powers critical digital operations for enterprises and AI-native companies.
    • Founded by early AWS employees who experienced always-on system failures firsthand.
    • The platform evolved from simple alerting into a full operational intelligence platform.
    • Complexity exploded with microservices, cloud-native infrastructure, and multi-cloud environments.
    • Reliability must be a core value — not an operational afterthought.
    • PagerDuty's culture champions the customer above everything else.
    • Employee recognition extends beyond sales to celebrate the whole business.
    • AI is accelerating software creation but making operations far more complex.
    • AI fails differently — silently, unpredictably, with a much larger blast radius.
    • Enterprises should leverage their operational history as a competitive AI asset.
    • AI-native companies must build operational resilience early, not bolt it on later.
    • The winners won't build fastest — they'll learn and recover fastest.


    Participants:

    • Rukmini Reddy – Senior Vice President of Engineering, PagerDuty

  • Ep209: Starburst Data's Blueprint for the AI Era with AWS
    Jun 2 2026

    From cracked data foundations to multi-agent AI, Starburst Data's co-founder shares hard-won lessons on getting the right data, not just more of it.

    Topics Include:

    • Matthew Fuller, co-founder and VP of Product at Starburst Data, joins the show.
    • Starburst is built on Trino, a fast SQL engine for federated data queries.
    • Their platform lets users query data across lakes, stores, and databases seamlessly.
    • Governed "data products" give organizations access to their full data estate in context.
    • A strong data foundation is essential before any AI use case can succeed.
    • AI doesn't create data problems — it exposes the cracks already there.
    • Common mistake: assuming everyone in an org defines "customer" or "revenue" the same way.
    • More data isn't always better — getting the right data is what matters.
    • Customers include HSBC, Comcast, Zalando, ZoomInfo, and DBS, many running on AWS.
    • AWS partnership spans technical support, SLA reliability, and proactive product briefings.
    • Advice for product leaders: always anchor new technology back to the customer problem.
    • 2026 will be defined by specialized multi-agents working together autonomously.


    Participants:

    • Matt Fuller – Co-Founder, Vice President of Product, Starburst Data
