Support for the show comes from Retool. Too many companies run critical operations on duct-taped spreadsheets, Slack workflows, and whatever else they could cobble together. Not because they want to, but because building internal tools means weeks of waiting on someone else's backlog. That's where Retool comes in. Build custom internal tools just by describing what you need. Prompt something like, "Build me a revenue dashboard on our Salesforce data," and Retool actually builds it on your company's data, in your cloud, with enterprise security built in. Go to retool.com/vergecast. We all need to retool how we build software. Support for this show comes from Klaviyo. Imagine hiring two brilliant employees. The first takes your marketing from idea to full campaign, email, SMS, push, in the time it takes to describe it. The second handles every customer conversation 24/7, answering questions, recommending products, handling orders, both on brand and always on. Your next hires? Klaviyo's AI agents.
