Here's the UI of one of the hottest public AI enterprise software companies, ServiceNow - it's one of the core products helping deliver $500M of AI ACV in 2025 and $1B for next year The company is crushing on all measures and like all enterprise AI deals, it's all about time to value - 100 prepackaged workflows and FDEs As I like to say, the last mile in the enterprise is the longest - Just solve the customer pain now

💪🏻 always remember the first big decision @Superhuman was paying for that domain with the first dollars in. So awesome to see it live on even bigger… just right for this world. Love the AI productivity suite!
In July, we announced that Superhuman is being acquired by Grammarly. I am thrilled to announce that our parent company — formerly known as Grammarly — will now be known as Superhuman! 👌 The email app that we all know and love will now be known as Superhuman Mail 💌

Missing layer in all the Agent hype has been a solution for authentication and authorization. keycard filling that gap ->
Replying to @edsim
3/Keycard is the missing trust layer for the agentic era. It identifies AI agents, assigns task-based permissions, enforces policy in real time, and integrates seamlessly with existing identity systems. This isn’t a bolt-on. It’s foundational infrastructure that lets agents safely move from lab to production.
