A short-format SaaStr video conversation (recorded Nov 12, 2025) hosted by Craig Swensford with guests Jason M. Lemkin and Emilio Larue. The clip opens with introductions and immediately moves to a discussion prompt about AI agents and agent platforms — where practitioners should start, and which agentic/AI platforms are best for use cases like RevOps. Jason previously posted opinions on LinkedIn that spur the question.
All right, welcome, everybody. My name is Craig Swensford, the founder and CEO of Qualified, and I'm joined today in Qualified Studios by two very special guests. Of course, we have Jason Lemkin, who's originally the founder and CEO of Echo Sign, sold to Adobe 2011, and of course, everybody knows him today as the founder and CEO of Saster. And also Emilio Larue, who is the Chief AI Officer.
Yes.
Of Saster, which is. Which is totally awesome. Thank you so much for being with us today. Thanks so much. That's great. All right, so what does everybody want to know about in today's day and age? Agents. What's going on out there in the real world with agents and Jason, something I read, you know, that you post on LinkedIn, was people are wondering, there's a ton of agent platforms, agentic solutions, AI this, AI that, that are on the market right now. Like, where do I actually start? And. And then I think somebody wrote, you know what? You know what's better? Replit or lovable? Which AISDR platform is the best? What AI tool is the best for RevOps? And you had a killer answer to that. Can you share that with us?
Yeah, it was learning because, you know, we started. We started 2025 behind. We had a lot of AI speakers at Saster, but we were pretty AI lean here. We started with one general tool and now we've expanded to 20 agents and we use qualified and 20 tools that are sort of. Maybe 12 are part of our core architecture. Architecture, which Emilia can talked about. But it took me a while to know the answer to that question or to know the answer between Replit and Lovable. They're related. We could talk about it.
