Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Worldbuilders: Building Digital Minds and Why Humans Still Matter | Dara Ladjevardian (Delphi)
Q: What world are you trying to build with Delphi, and why does human connection matter?
The world is one where humans remain the main characters and AI serves to amplify authentic human insight and connection. Delphi aims to make trusted human perspectives scalable and accessible, ensuring that personal expertise and mentorship remain central even as AI tools advance.
Recall Sessions: How Moveworks Went From First Customer to $2.85B with Bhavin Shah
Q: How did you decide on your fundraising partners and why did you choose to stay aligned with certain investors for the long term?
They prioritized alignment, depth of space understanding, and a long-horizon partnership over pursuing the highest bid. The founders valued investors who would stay committed for decades, not just until the next funding round, and who could bring strategic value and credibility to scaling.
Recall Sessions: How Moveworks Went From First Customer to $2.85B with Bhavin Shah
Q: What was the thinking behind the initial vision demo, and do you think painting a picture still works for early customers today?
Vision demos remain useful for signal-building if the founder has credibility; however, today you often need a demonstrable, usable product that can be deployed quickly to capture attention and prove value, especially with powerful new tools and a closer-to-reality prototype.
Recall Sessions: How Moveworks Went From First Customer to $2.85B with Bhavin Shah
Q: You've been involved with AI Transformation since you started Moveworks. How are large enterprises changing with this technology, and what shifts do you see in IT teams over the next decade?
Enterprises will see a footprint where AI handles mundane tasks first, pushing humans up to higher-impact work, with citizen developers enabling business owners to prototype and deploy improvements. Centralized IT will evolve, while the underlying systems of record persist; the human element will shift toward governance, security, and maintaining complex environments.
Parth Patil on Coding Agents, Building Reid AI, and What It Takes to Operate at the Frontier
Q: What do you think will be the biggest jumps in the next year for coding agents?
The biggest advances will be in orchestration, concurrency, and the ability for agents to manage subagents across complex problems, enabling multi-agent ecosystems to tackle tasks that exceed any single context window.
