20VC: Why Town’s AI Assistant Could Win the Agent Network-Effect Race
Published 1 month ago
Description
AI assistants may be moving fast, but Jean Denis argues the category is far from a bubble. In this condensed 20VC episode, Harry Stebbings speaks with the former Plaid CTO and Town founder about how an AI assistant built into your email and calendar can automate work, why Town pivoted from an AI tax company, and why the real moat in AI is an agent-level network effect. Learn why Denise thinks Google and Apple are obvious competitors, why he rejects ad-supported assistants, and how trust, privacy, and data-sharing will shape the future of workplace automation.
