About this episode

AI agents are no longer just standalone demos. They are moving directly into the systems where work already happens: Google Workspace, SAP, Salesforce, email, calendars, files, CRMs, and enterprise systems of record.

In this episode of the Runpoint Podcast, Sam Gaddis, Matthew, Ryan Mish, and guest Harrison Wells of Dodo Digital discuss the shift from flashy AI tools to operational AI workflows. They cover Google Spark and Omni, the SAP + Anthropic partnership, Salesforce’s reported engineering productivity gains, Pi agents, Codex 5.5, Claude, and why many companies are increasing AI budgets faster than they are building true AI readiness.

The big question: will enterprises actually transform around AI, or will they just bolt chatbots onto old systems and call it innovation?
