“The rate of progress is exponential right now on at least three key dimensions: the algorithms, the chips, and the data centers… We’re talking 10x improvement every two years. Not 20x in four — 100x.”
In short: AI is not just getting better — it’s compounding. Fast.
But the real breakthrough isn’t just raw power. It’s how workflows are being reimagined, connected, and automated end-to-end.
This is where the future is heading — and it’s why we believe the next category-defining companies will be the ones that intelligently connect workflows across people, tools, and systems.
Every region is accelerating — and each brings unique strengths:
The AI race is no longer East vs. West — it’s multi-polar. Compute, models, and data are being developed and deployed regionally — often faster than regulation can adapt.
All the compute in the world is useless if it’s trapped in silos.
The winners will be those who connect AI to real business outcomes by automating:
We’re already seeing this in sectors like:
This is the shift: from tools to systems, from point solutions to intelligent orchestration.
What’s coming isn’t just faster models — it’s million-fold leverage:
…connected into one intelligent operating layer
That’s not 40x. It’s a million X transformation in how value is created.
And that transformation will only be captured by those who understand how to design, automate, and intelligently connect workflows — across the org chart, across departments, and across entire ecosystems.
“People still don’t appreciate the impact of this because they don’t understand exponential progress.” – All-In Podcast
We do.
And we’re building for it.
The future of work won’t be a patchwork of disconnected tools. It will be one intelligently connected workflow — augmented by AI, optimized for speed, and built for scale.
Let’s stop talking about AI in isolation.
Let’s talk about Intelligently Connected Workflows — and why they’re the next value creator.
