Salesforce's cofounder essential questioned: why should you login to Salesforce anymore? 🤔

He wasn't signaling the AI-driven SaaSpocalypse was picking up steam.

Instead: he's talking about going headless.

What's that? It's a future where Salesforce -- any potentially many other household software giants -- stop making software interfaces for humans and start designing for AI agents instead.

So will this be a short-lived trend? Or, will the future of work not really involve a ton of humans clicking around?

Info hunting and juggling sound familiar?

It’s the downfall of almost any business leader. Where is that email from Emily? Why can’t I find last quarter’s budget in Drive? Oh, and Keenen needs an answer back on that research project. Oh shoot, I swear Caleb confirmed the expenses in one of these Slack channels.

You’re off an information rabbit hole and by the time you find that Slack message, you already forgot what Emily’s email said.

Hit home? Well, as AI models expand to Coworking and Scheduled agents, we have a new best friend that doesn’t really have a name.

(Until we randomly named it. Lolz)

Scheduled Agentic Context Carry. You need to know what it is, why it’s important, and how to use it.

We’ll dive in.
