  • Taste Is The New Moat | Intangible CEO on Brand, Distribution, and Winning in AI
    Jul 2 2025

    When AI makes creating content and code nearly free, how do you stand out? Differentiation now hinges on two things: unique taste and effective distribution.

    This week, Bharat Vasan, founder & CEO at Intangible and a "recovering VC," explains why the AI landscape compelled him to return to founding. He sees AI sparking a new creative revolution, similar to the early internet, that makes it easier than ever to bring ideas to life. The conversation delivers essential advice for founders, revealing why relentless shipping is the ultimate clarifier for a business and why resilience, not just intelligence, is the key to survival.

    Drawing from his experience on both sides of the venture table, Bharat breaks down the brutally competitive VC landscape and shares Intangible's mission: to simplify 3D creative tools with AI, finally bridging the gap between human vision and machine power. Listeners will gain insights on company building, brand strategy, and why customer obsession is the ultimate moat in the AI age.

  • The Emerging AI Agent Stack | CrewAI’s João Moura
    Jun 25 2025

    Unlocking AI agents for knowledge work automation and scaling intelligent, multi-agent systems within enterprises fundamentally requires measurability, reliability, and trust.

    João Moura, founder & CEO of CrewAI, joins Galileo’s Conor Bronsdon and Vikram Chatterji to unpack and define the emerging AI agent stack. They explore how enterprises are moving beyond initial curiosity to tackle critical questions around provisioning, authentication, and measurement for hundreds or thousands of agents in production. The discussion highlights a crucial "gold rush" among middleware providers, all racing to standardize the orchestration and frameworks needed for seamless agent deployment and interoperability. This new era demands a re-evaluation of everything from cloud choices to communication protocols as agents reshape the market.

    João and Vikram then dive into the complexities of building for non-deterministic multi-agent systems, emphasizing the challenges of increased failure modes and the need for rigorous testing beyond traditional software. They detail how CrewAI is democratizing agent access with a focus on orchestration, while Galileo provides the essential reliability platform, offering advanced evaluation, observability, and automated feedback loops. From specific use cases in financial services to the re-emergence of core data science principles, discover how companies are building trustworthy, high-quality AI products and prepare for the coming agent marketplace.
