Building a product is like raising a baby (not that I know too much about that), but they say it takes a village. The best products aren’t born from a single brain, they’re shaped by a village. With product building, it’s easy to treat every piece of feedback like a judgment on your own skill. A few years back, if I didn’t have the perfect answer or idea, I’d beat myself up. If I got feedback on the product, I'd question my instincts. I can be very hard on myself. I thought being a good product leader meant being the smartest person in the room. But over time, I realized how limiting that mindset was, and how important that village really is. Teammates who poke holes in your thinking. Customers who point out what’s not working. Leaders who challenge your instincts. When you stop taking it personally, when you let go of the ego and lean into the chaos, you realize that all that input is what helps your baby grow up stronger, more resilient, better equipped to survive the real world. And that's all you want at the end of the day. There's a lesson in here somewhere and it's probably - be just attached enough to care deeply about building something great, but detached enough to know you don’t have to carry it alone.

WebMCP appears to have a more predictable path for consumer websites - travel and booking, e-commerce, food delivery services. As humans adopt more AI agents to do their work for them, there will likely be a scramble within these companies to get there first. The sites that ship webMCP first are going to eat the agent traffic, others will get routed around and be invisible to the agent economy. The play in B2B is more complex though. The large players (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday) don't have a strong incentive to adopt WebMCP. These companies want to build their own agent platforms and keep the orchestration in-house. They want to be the agent layer, not be called by someone else's agent layer. Interestingly, one of their biggest churn drivers is their notoriously complex UI. If a rep has a browser-based AI assistant and says "log my call with Acme, mark deal as verbal commit, schedule follow-up for Thursday", and Salesforce has WebMCP tools registered, that interaction just works within the user's existing session, without an Agentforce license. Salesforce could see this as a way to reduce their biggest churn driver (poor UX) without rebuilding the frontend. But that's a defensive play, not a growth play, and it undermines their Agentforce revenue. (Also your classic innovator's dilemma). The shift that would force the hand of these companies is if Google ships a Chrome-native agent that becomes the default way knowledge workers interact with all their web apps. If a billion Chrome users have a built-in Gemini agent that expects WebMCP tools, enterprise vendors may not be able to ignore that distribution channel. The play-out in B2B SaaS over the next 12 months is going to an interesting platform battle...

Access provisioning should be simple. The right people get the right access, at the right time! In reality, it’s slow, manual, and brittle. Governance becomes cleanup instead of control. ✍ In her blog, our Head of Product @AparnaChugh breaks down what we learned while building #AgenticIGA and why: ☑️ Access delays quietly kill productivity ☑️ Intent matters more than static rules ☑️ Integrations are foundational ☑️ De-provisioning has to be automatic to actually work Access governance shouldn’t be a quarterly exercise rather it should be a living system that helps businesses move fast without accumulating risk. Read the blog to understand why access provisioning needs a fundamental rethink 🔗atomicwork.com/blog/launchin… . . #IGA #AccessProvisioning #IdentityGovernance #IT #ITGovernance #ITSM #AgenticAI #Atomicwork

Every time I’ve (been) driven down the 101 in California, I’m taking pictures of billboards. There aren’t too many places in the world where you see SaaS advertised as much and there’s something magical about seeing your world up there in giant letters. Today, @atomicworkhq is on one. And it feels special. One of those quiet milestones that mean more than you’d think. And I can finally stop taking pictures of other billboards.
Atomicwork just hit the big screen... literally!

It’s not an AI agent unless it comes from the agentic region of Palo Alto. Otherwise, it’s just an AI-enabled workflow.

When it comes to automating furflows and boosting pawductivity, we trust only the best. Who else can answer your questions at the speed of a wagging tail or a curious meow? 🐕💨🐈🐾 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞: 🔹 They’re always “on” (except for those epic power naps). 🔹 No paw-blems with multitasking. 🔹 They’re experts at barking out solutions in record time. 🔹 They never take coffee breaks. ☕ 🔹 Bonus: They can fetch success - just don’t ask them to fetch your coffee. At Atomicwork, we are more than just Pawgentic AI. After all, nothing brings "efficiency" like a furry friend. These furry companions are the true masterminds behind everything we do. 🐶🐱 P.S. - I have a bone to pick with the CEO pawgent who is trying to steal my job! #Agentforce3 #Atomicwork #PetsOfAtomicwork #AIwithFur #WorkplacePets #Furflows #Pawductivity #SuperAgents

For ten whole minutes I sat and wondered how AI recommends shows to me on a flight when it knows nothing about me, my viewing or browsing history. Are they are recommending based on age, gender and location? Are they tracking my viewing data across flights? I guess when you’re thinking about AI as often as we do these days, you tend to forget it can stand for other things like ‘Air India’.
