For anyone who’s been curious about what AI Agents are, what they will do, and current deployed use cases at large enterprises, this is the podcast for you.

Joao Moura is Founder & CEO of CrewAI, the leading multi-agent platform. He previously was Director of AI Engineering at Clearbit which was acquired by Hubspot. I’m also joined by my colleague Eliot Durbin at boldstart ventures. We are fortunate to partner with Joao as a founder in our portfolio! This episode dives deep into the multi-agent world talking about how agents work, the tech behind the scenes, unlocks that are coming to the ecosystem to push use cases forward, and what tangible ROI agents are delivering for enterprises today. We go deep into topics like memory & caching, robotic process automation, what foundation model leaps are enabling in the ecosystem, and how to complete complex tasks with multi-agents. Whether you’re technical or not, you’ll love this episode as everyone will be experiencing agents either first hand or behind the scenes. And I strongly believe if you learn how to use agents now, it’ll position you for success in the very near future.
