Episode notes

The current focus is on leveraging the rapid innovation in AI models by established companies rather than competing directly. The integration of AI models like Glue AI can provide valuable insights within companies. The company is experiencing faster product development compared to previous ventures like Yammer, with plans to scale up the team considerably by hiring across various domains. The emphasis is on launching a product that meets high market standards, given the competitive landscape in the industry.

In this episode, David Sacks and Evan Owen of Glue join Jason to demo their new “slack killer” product (4:38), explain the role of AI within Glue (14:14), discuss building products with remote vs in-person teams (36:47), and more!
