Brandon Foo: Hey Lenny. Thanks for having me. Lenny Rachitsky: So integrations have become a big deal for AI products. Why is that? Brandon Foo: Integrations are mission-critical for AI for two reasons. First, AI products need contacts from their customer's business data such as Google Drive files, Slack messages or CRM records. Second, for AI products to automate work on behalf of users, AI agents need to be able to take action across these different third-party tools. Lenny Rachitsky: So where does Paragon fit into all this? Brandon Foo: Well, these integrations are a pain to build and that's why Paragon provides an embedded platform that enables engineers to ship these product integrations in just days instead of months across every use case from RAG data ingestion to agentic actions.
