Fortune 500 companies like Workday and Zoom are hiring fewer people as AI agents rise. Speakers debate whether a "renaissance of software" will leave some firms "above the fold" and others behind, while joking about AI agents replacing humans at holiday parties.
You workday said it, everyone else is saying it. We're seeing. I mean workday just founder had to go back. They said. We said even at workday we're seeing headwinds on seats because people just aren't hiring across the fort. You know the Fortune 500 like they used to. They're seeing. But, but, but we are in a renaissance of soft. We are building so much software. It is,
it is unbelievable. I think it's fascinating that on this, on this podcast the product and engineering firms are going to win. So we're a winner. We're above the fold, which I love that as well. This is. That in itself is an old school term. Jason. The fold doesn't exist. I know but listen. But
I think zoom, I mean HubSpot Monday, even zoom are below the fold. Mike
still has the
floor.
Well. Well, a few things. Firstly, your holiday party with your lack of belief in humans is going to be amazing. Right? You're sitting around drinking wine with all your agents that are come to our office. Super fun holiday party. I'm really looking forward to it. At least
get drunk and make an ass of themselves. If they're all agents, at least we won't be. But it's a real issue.
Is there? But I like humans. Humans are fun to hang out with. Right. We're going to need a lot of these people. I think there's a lot in Harvey that's fascinating. The question is two things. One, legal firms generally bill time so it's hard for them to increase their profit margin by billing more and less time. So I don't know how that affects this particular industry. I'm not an expert at all on legals, but I'm just saying there's some interesting their pricing. Right. I don't know how legal services are going to be value based priced or something. They're literally the ultimate selling of hours, photocopying and all that sort of stuff. So we'll see how that works for their billing model and maybe Harvey helps them with that or doesn't help them with that.
