How Headless Agents Will Change Work
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of headless software on business models and enterprise tools.
This week, Salesforce, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google all made major moves toward "headless" software — platforms designed for agents rather than human users. The episode explores what this shift means for business models, the future of SaaS pricing, and who captures the value when agents become the primary consumers of enterprise tools. In the headlines: OpenAI triples its compute targets to 30 gigawatts, Google unveils separate TPU chips for training and inference, and Mistral may be joining forces with xAI.
