  • Why Grammarly Became Superhuman—and What It Says About the Next Era of AI
    Nov 6 2025

    Grammarly didn’t just change its company name—it changed the story of AI.
    In a deep-dive conversation following the company's rebrand, Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra joins Zapier CEO Wade Foster to unpack why this move signals a seismic industry shift: AI is moving from tools you have to remember to use to infrastructure that works wherever you do. Superhuman’s “AI superhighway” already makes 100 billion LLM calls a week, running across over 1 million apps and websites where work happens.
    Shishir shares how Superhuman Go—the company's proactive AI assistant—turns intention into execution, how to run four products as a “compound startup,” and why the next frontier of AI-driven productivity won’t look like traditional software at all.
    A rare glimpse into a monumental shift—from AI as a product to AI as the plumbing of modern work.

  • Box’s Ben Kus on Building AI for Millions of Users and Billions of Files
    Oct 30 2025

    What happens when AI meets 10 years of enterprise data?

    Box CTO Ben Kus joins Zapier CEO Wade Foster to dig into how enterprise AI actually works when scale, security, and governance aren’t optional. They explore what happens when agents start reasoning across real customer data—and why the hardest part isn’t the model, it’s everything around it.

    Ben shares how Box is teaching AI to work with human workflows, not against them, while Wade connects it to the shift he’s seeing inside automation: from “set it and forget it” to systems that think alongside you.

    Because in the enterprise, AI has to earn trust before it scales.

  • How 1Mind’s Superhuman Sellers Cut Sales Cycles by 90%
    Oct 23 2025

    AI that sells, reasons, and closes like your top rep? It sounds terrifying—but it’s not. Amanda Kahlow’s Superhumans are proving that automation doesn’t erase people; it elevates them. Her team rewards employees who replace their own jobswith AI by promoting them, not firing them. And her customers? They’re seeing sales cycles shrink from 22 days to 2 and average deal sizes double.

    In this episode, Zapier CEO Wade Foster and Amanda dig into what “AI-led growth” really means—and why the smartest move in 2025 isn’t resisting AI, it’s learning how to lead with it. They unpack why 76% of 1Mind’s pipeline now comes from their own AI, and how org charts are evolving around a new role: the agent manager.

    It’s a grounded, surprisingly human look at the future of work—and a reminder that the best way to stay relevant is to build the AI version of your best self. As Amanda puts it: “Your sellers hallucinate—AIs do it less.”
