The Gist

  • SaaStr AI operates with 3 humans and 21+ AI agents handling multi-millions of interactions
  • 10K, their AI VP of Marketing, started as a dashboard and now manages daily revenue and forecasting
  • Built on Replit with 1,000 commits in 4 months, hitting Salesforce directly via API without logging in
  • Agents evolved from dashboards and tools by daily use, not designed as agents initially
Key Quotes

The single biggest theme across the whole stack: almost none of these started as agents. They started as a dashboard, a project management tool, a website. They became agents because we kept showing up to work with them every day.

The real lesson is to slow down. These agents are so productive that 10K could have sent a thousand different emails before our session even started, with no way for us to review them.
