That doesn&apos;t threaten companies whose moat is data. It threatens companies whose moat was plumbing.</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>What the Claude Code leak actually reveals about building AI agents</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/what-the-claude-code-leak-reveals/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/what-the-claude-code-leak-reveals/</guid><description>Anthropic accidentally open-sourced 512,000 lines of Claude Code internals. Forget the drama. The code is a masterclass in agentic architecture, and every company building AI agents should be studying it.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Revenue systems need memory</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/revenue-systems-need-memory/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/revenue-systems-need-memory/</guid><description>The same problem that makes most AI systems useless for serious work is what makes revenue systems so brittle.

Almost nobody wants to build the evaluation framework that tells you whether it&apos;s working.</description><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Guardrails are the product</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/guardrails-are-the-product/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/guardrails-are-the-product/</guid><description>Most teams treat AI guardrails as a safety feature bolted on at the end. In production, the guardrails are what actually makes the system usable.</description><pubDate>Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The learning gap is the real AI crisis</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/the-learning-gap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/the-learning-gap/</guid><description>The biggest barrier to enterprise AI isn&apos;t model quality or regulation or talent. It&apos;s that most AI systems can&apos;t learn. And almost nobody is building to fix this.</description><pubDate>Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The death of the demo</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/the-death-of-the-demo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/the-death-of-the-demo/</guid><description>The traditional software demo is becoming counterproductive for AI products. When you&apos;re selling intelligence, not features, the whole buyer engagement model needs to change.</description><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The case for a revenue intelligence layer</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/the-case-for-a-revenue-intelligence-layer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/the-case-for-a-revenue-intelligence-layer/</guid><description>Deal context lives in a dozen different systems.

Sellers declare stages, managers interpret stories, leadership aggregates opinions. AI can fix this, but most organizations aren&apos;t ready for that level of transparency.</description><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Why your CRM can&apos;t handle AI deals</title><link>https://www.amargautam.com/writing/why-your-crm-cant-handle-ai-deals/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.amargautam.com/writing/why-your-crm-cant-handle-ai-deals/</guid><description>CRM systems were designed for linear SaaS buying. AI deals are non-linear, multi-threaded, and governed by organizational readiness.

It&apos;s the wrong question.
