What happens when executives no longer need to navigate complex software interfaces, or rely on specialists to retrieve the information they need? Winslow co-founder Niel Robertson joins Adam Brotman and Andy Sack to explore how AI agents and conversational interfaces are reshaping HR technology, SaaS platforms, and systems of record.

Robertson explains how agentic software can combine operational tools with domain knowledge, enabling leaders to manage payroll, employee data, onboarding, reporting, and compliance through natural-language requests. The conversation also examines the growing importance of operations roles as AI absorbs more clerical and execution-focused work across HR, sales, marketing, and other functions.

For executives, the implications extend beyond productivity. Organizations must reconsider data architecture, software investments, workforce design, employee privacy, and the role of human expertise. The result is a new operating model in which AI handles more routine work while people focus on judgment, strategy, change management, and organizational growth.
