Descriptions:
The Future Live is a weekly livestream hosted by Matthew Berman and Nick Wentz that features working practitioners and executives from across the AI industry. This March 13, 2026 episode brings together Rob Seaman (EVP and GM of Slack), Vrun Vumati (co-founder and CEO of Giga), Charles Packer (co-founder and CEO of Letta), and Dr. Dominic King (VP of Health at Microsoft AI) for a wide-ranging discussion on the current state and near-term trajectory of AI in enterprise contexts.
The episode opens with an editorial discussion of a viral post arguing that the entire internet must be rebuilt for agents — that infrastructure, pricing models, and web standards designed for humans are fundamentally incompatible with a world where agents outnumber people by orders of magnitude. Seaman discusses how Slack has evolved its product strategy around becoming an operating system for agentic work. Vumati offers one of the sharper critiques of enterprise AI adoption in the episode: outside of coding, explosive AI growth hasn’t happened because every significant automation project still requires 6–9 months of forward-deployed engineers sitting with the customer — and Giga’s core bet is on automating that role itself.
Packer covers Letta’s approach to persistent memory and stateful agent infrastructure, while Dr. King addresses specific dynamics in AI adoption within healthcare. For anyone tracking how AI-native companies are positioning against the enterprise deployment bottleneck, this episode provides direct strategic framing from active founders and executives.
