Most founders only guess what other companies are using in their tech stack. Cardboard has the real data. And they were just as surprised as everyone else to see Claude outspending everything else.

Ole Daniel, CEO of Cardboard, shares insights into how AI is becoming one of the biggest software expenses across Scandinavian companies, and whether AI is actually going to replace SaaS or just make us buy even more software.

In this episode of Stack Exposed, Torstein and Ole Daniel dive into one of the hottest topics in tech today: AI in the modern tech stack. This episode also covers:

• How Cardboard uses AI to manage thousands of customers with a lean team
• What the average startup tech stack actually looks like across their customer base
• Whether AI spend is stacking on top of SaaS or slowly replacing it
• What their data says about Claude vs. ChatGPT adoption, and why the difference is bigger than most people expect

Guest: Ole Daniel, CEO, Cardboard Host: Torstein Gustavsen, Co-founder and CEO, Tixio
