Wow very easy to create a Codex Site with a Convex DB that your agent can write to.

You can make a todo list app that is hosted on Codex Sites, then tell Codex to make a skill that allows the agent to WRITE/EDIT to that todo list db.

And then in any chat you can add to your list. Here's example.

GTM is among the hardest unsolved problems for AI-native companies.

Most playbooks were built for a different era. AI-native products need AI-native commercial motions — and very few people have figured out what that actually looks like in practice.

At our next Accel Founder Connect, Shekhar Kirani (@skirani), Partner at @Accel, sits down with two people who have cracked different parts of this problem:

•⁠ ⁠Barathram A, Partner at McKinsey, leads Go-to-market work for AI and software companies, advising and partnering with frontier labs, hyperscalers, tech and AI-natives on how to build and scale commercial motions.
•⁠ ⁠Varun Anand co-founded Clay, the GTM platform of choice for AI-native sales teams. He didn't just theorise about AI-native GTM. He had to figure it out while building the product itself.

Together, they'll get into first-principles playbooks, org structures, and what global go-to-market actually looks like when you're building AI-native.

Fivetran CEO George Fraser's theory of the SaaSpocalypse:

"There's a lot more uncertainty embedded in all these SaaS companies... than there was a year ago."

"I don't really buy into this reason that all these SaaS categories are gonna disappear and be replaced with vibe-coded software.

I think there will be some, but I think the bigger threat is simply new companies coming along.

It is just so much easier to write software now that AI-native companies will just zoom and catch up to the established incumbents and maybe be better."

Data platform costs drift when ownership is unclear and consumption lacks accountability.

Tagging and dashboards work only with clear decision rights, turning spend into action and reinvestment.

AI simulations help leaders test business choices before real money is at risk. By modeling customers, competitors, and market reactions, teams can compare options, find weak points, and decide with more confidence.

VenCap CIO David Clark says top 1% venture exits are 10x-ing:

"We always thought that the largest companies were going to continue to be an order of magnitude larger than we'd seen in prior cycles. And if anything, that's accelerating."

"Between 2020 and 2024, top 1% exits started at $10 billion. We updated those numbers in February this year, and a top 1% exit for '25 and the first two months of '26 was then $20 billion."

"We just updated them yesterday. And if you look at just the exits that have closed, it's now at $32 billion."

"And then if you think about OpenAI and Anthropic coming in, potentially we could be north of $100 billion by September... so we've 10x'd over the space of 24 months what a top 1% exit looks like."

At the PGA Championship, connectivity is more than access. It coordinates media, operations, mobility, and real-time decisions across a live environment where timing matters.

Global data use can create local compliance pressure.

When storage, access, and processing cross borders, companies need clearer controls to keep operations reliable and avoid delays caused by fragmented rules.

Quantum computing is moving from research labs into strategic roadmaps, with direct implications for current cryptographic schemes.

As RSA and ECC face decryption risks, organizations must act to protect long-term trust and compliance.
