The Agents #11 - Are Our AI Agents Finally Consolidating?

We hit 20+ agents. Now we're cutting back - and our productivity has never been higher.

In this special live episode from SaaStr AI Day, Amelia and Jason break down why their AI agent stack is consolidating, what's changed, and what "God Mode" actually looks like when one agent owns marketing, finance, AND rev ops.

In this episode:

  • Why managing 20+ agents nearly broke them - and what forced the consolidation
  • 10K's evolution: from dashboard to VP of Marketing to VP of Finance to full RevOps (with commissions, invoicing, and churn signals)
  • How they migrated 10 years of Marketo data to Salesforce Marketing Cloud in a week - with an agent doing most of the heavy lifting
  • The Claude + MCP + Replit stack that changed everything: agents that now manage other agents
  • How 10K ran their entire SaaStr AI Day ad campaign end-to-end on LinkedIn and Twitter (they only hit "publish")
  • Build vs. buy in the agentic era, and why your agents will eventually tell you to leave bad vendors
  • Live Q&A with 100+ viewers on the future of agent orchestration

This is a real 8-figure business running on AI agents - not a demo, not a prototype.
