Arjun Prakash, co founder and CEO of DistylAI, joins the Influencer Series to talk about one of the biggest shifts happening in tech right now. We all talk about generative AI, but Arjun breaks down the part that actually matters. Intelligence. Reasoning. And the rise of true AI assistants that can make decisions, take actions, and run workflows across a business.
Arjun walks us through the three chapters of this story:
What AI agents really are and why reasoning changes everything.
How AI native companies will operate with far lower costs and far more speed.
Why this shift will lead to a world where both massive companies and tiny startups can scale faster than ever.
He also gives clear examples of what happens when companies embrace new technology and what happens when they ignore it. From Carnegie Steel to Borders, the winners are always the ones who lean in early.
If you care about innovation, productivity, or the future of work, this episode will change how you see the next decade.
