Evelyne Dumon is eigenaar multibrandstore Liv Store & het merk Rhune. Ze heeft dus één fysiek verkooppunt, een webshop van die winkel en ook nog een aparte webshop voor Rhune. Een complexe mix die nu onder druk komt te staan door de mooie groei die ze heeft. Ze spendeert uren per dag aan het aanvullen en bijhouden van haar stock, mist verkoop online en in de winkel omdat er fouten gebeuren in het manuele stockbeheer en wordt wakker met stress over pakketten. Het is een vraag die de laatste weken verschillende keren voorbijkwam: "Hoe kan ik mijn logistiek beter aanpakken of uitbesteden, terwijl ik ook wel de flexibiliteit voor mijn verkooppunten behoudt?". Die vraag beantwoorden we samen in dit gesprek.

Together, they unpack Jeremiah's insider thesis on the AI Agent era — and what it means for the future of software, user experience, and startups.They explore why AI agents are replacing SaaS apps, what defines a “true agent,” and how startups should position themselves in the face of big tech platform risk.In this episode, you will:Understand the difference between LLM tools and autonomous AI agentsDiscover how Crew AI scaled to 60% of the Fortune 500 using 150 agents and minimal staffLearn why traditional apps and websites may become obsolete in the agentic futureExplore new go-to-market strategies and startup models for agent-driven businessesEvaluate how agents will access private and public data — and what that means for APIsHear how to pitch agent startups to VCs looking for viral and network-effect playsWhether you're building in the agent ecosystem or preparing for it, this conversation will reshape how you think about the future of digital interfaces and startup opportunities.The Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!
