SaaStr 717: How Enterprise SaaS Companies are Buying AI (or Not) with ContextualAI, Anthropic, and Glean

While AI seems to have gone mainstream for consumers and smaller SaaS companies, but what about the big guys?

While the first generation of Generative AI is great, it's not quite ready to solve Enterprise problems. So, where are we now in the adoption cycle for the Enterprise world?

We brought together an Enterprise SaaS panel with:

• Douwe Kiela, CEO of ContextualAI
• Benjamin Mann, co-founder of Anthropic
• Arvind Jain, CEO of Glean
• and Sandhya Hedge, General Partner at Unusual VC

To help us figure out how to sell GenAI software to some of the biggest organizations in the world.
