The Foundation Bet: Why Pivot Built the System of Record Before the AI with Marc-Antoine Lacroix
GSD Venture Studios Podcasts by Gary Fowler by Gary Fowler
Episode notes
Join Marc-Antoine Lacroix, Co-founder and CEO of Pivot, for a crucial evaluation of the fatal design flaw stalling modern enterprise AI. Across the corporate landscape, millions are spent bolting generative chat wrappers onto outdated back-office databases, only for the applications to hallucinate, cross wires, and fail.
