We’re kicking off a new Fireside Chat series. These are shorter, behind-the-scenes episodes where Drew shares how StealthX thinks about the shifts shaping the next era of experience and growth. Each one blends perspective with practice, featuring quick takes, demos, and tools operators can use right away.
Drew starts with the latest from OpenAI’s Dev Day, the new Apps SDK and Agent Builder, and what those signals mean for how products and experiences will be built in the near future. From an “app-less” world to the rise of embedded agents, he unpacks how this changes everything from design to monetization to go-to-market strategy.
He also gets candid about what this means for mid-market operators: why efficiency is about to become table stakes, why trust and brand will matter more than ever, and how companies can equip their teams to actually use these tools, not just turn them on.
The conversation dives into:
- What OpenAI’s new Agent Builder and Apps SDK mean for SaaS and CX
- How “Did you GPT it?” is replacing “Did you Google it?”
- Why AI Agents Will Eat Your SaaS (and What to Build Now)
- The survive vs. thrive challenge for mid-market companies
- Why efficiency isn’t a moat (and what will be)
- How to prepare your data and workflows for AI agents
- Change experience, helping teams adopt and use AI for real
