Product-Led AI Greylock

Getting AI to do what we want it to comes down to understanding how intelligence actually works.

AI has made it possible to receive detailed, cohesive, and personalized answers to almost anything we want to ask. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas breaks down how his company built the “answer engine” that is disrupting search. Srinivas believes that AI will fundamentally transform the nature of search – from establishing a hierarchy of information quality and disrupting business models to teaching humans how to ask better questions. It’s the startup’s flexibility with experimentation and its focus on curating a search index specifically for AI chatbot use cases that gives Perplexity an edge over even the strongest of incumbents.

Adept CEO and co-founder David Luan has been riding the LLM wave since the early days of the modern AI boom: an early OpenAI employee, he led the company’s engineering team before serving as the tech lead for Google Brain’s work on LLMs. He co-founded Adept in 2022 to develop multimodal agents built to work alongside humans in any profession. Believing computers should work more like humans and not the other way around, Adept has stood out for its human-centric approach to AGI. 
In this episode, David talks about the moment he realized building a new product (and a startup) was a faster track to AGI; breaks down the frameworks for Adept; and shares his view of a future where AI functions almost invisibly below all software we use.
