AI has made the UI layer "personal". You can use chat-based Agents, vibe-coded applications connected to any service like Salesforce. This flexibility enables business to customize their workflows for themselves. It moves thinking from xyz in CRM to my business problems
Welcome Salesforce Headless 360: No Browser Required! Our API is the UI. Entire Salesforce & Agentforce & Slack platforms are now exposed as APIs, MCP, & CLI. All AI agents can access data, workflows, and tasks directly in Slack, Voice, or anywhere else with Salesforce Headless 360. Faster builds, agentic everything. 🚀 #Salesforce #Agentforce #AI venturebeat.com/ai/salesforc…

So true
Struggling to manage your own psychology holds lots of people back from reaching their full potential (my lens is for founders but I think this is true for everyone). Here are a few things I’ve learned trying to keep my own head on straight while building a company:

What are the activities that will never be the same again because they were already on their path to disruption OR after the pandemic we will never go back to the old way? Commuting, hair cutting, grocery delivery... can smart people of Twitter share thoughts?

I'm 10y remote now and 99% of all interactions with my heavy remote / async teams are NOT done with calls / video. It almost all in writing. Everyone right now trying to optimize for voice / video communication is optimizing into the wrong thing.
