## Resource

While 92% of Fortune 500s realize the surplus alpha that can be created from leveraging AI, only 25% of SMBs realize the same. I sat with 6 founders who are building Agentic AI solutions: Jacky Wong (Nullify), Aria Attar (TensorStax), Max Ahrens (Maihem), Saurabh Sharma (You.com), Jonas Diezun (Beam AI), and Ashar Rizqi (Bounti.ai). The key highlights from our conversation were: - OpenAI’s function calling breaks down when scaling requires consistent outputs and error handling—just ask Jacky or anyone building enterprise agents. - MongoDB could face disruption as AI agents take over infrastructure orchestration—Aria flagged it, and I agree. - Calling agents "AI workers" simplifies adoption for hesitant enterprises—a shift that doubled Jonas Diezun’s sales. - Agentic AI scales across verticals in months, not years—Ashar says the old SaaS scaling playbook is obsolete. - Max at Maihem points out that building functional agents hinges on managing the edge cases that crash your system.
