Ryan welcomes Saahil Jain, CTO of You.com, to discuss why building agents with a 2024 mindset is a mistake as modern models improve at long-horizon tasks, why heavy orchestration layers can hurt model performance more than help it, and why the 2026 competitive edge actually comes from information retrieval and unique data paired with end-to-end evaluation.
You.com is building AI infrastructure with web search APIs for agentic intelligence designed to provide real-time data for LLMs to make decisions and build products confidently.
Connect with Saahil on LinkedIn or reach out to him at saahil@you.com.
Today’s shoutout goes to user knittl for winning a Populist badge on their answer to Remove all null values.
