“SaaS is going away,” says Dave Park, co-founder and CEO of Narada AI. The company is betting on a future where AI agents, not humans, navigate enterprise software on our behalf.

Today on Equity, Park joins Rebecca Bellan on Equity to talk about the rise of agentic AI, what it actually is, how it differs from traditional automation, and what real-world changes enterprises need to make to deploy it at scale. The timing for the conversation is ripe: YC’s most recent batch included 70+ agentic startups, and major players like Grammarly are building full AI work stacks through partnerships and acquisitions.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about:

  • What most people misunderstand about automation and who’s getting caught in the agentic hype

  • How tools like Narada could eventually help solopreneurs and smaller teams, not just the enterprise giants

  • Why the future of software might not be “using” apps at all

Equity will be back on Friday with our weekly news rundown, so don’t miss it!
