Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava thinks AI emails are killing conversations
TL;DR
Kakul Srivastava is the CEO of Splice, the sample platform countless producers rely on for one-shots and melodic loops. Samples pulled from the service have found their way into massive hits like Lisa's "Money" and "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter. (The original samples are here and here, for the curious. ) Before that, Kakul held executive roles at Flickr, Yahoo, GitHub, and Adobe.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, this is a useful workflow test: AI emails should prepare a conversation, not automate the entire exchange. Review your templates for a specific question, real context, and a clear next step.
Otherwise, you may save writing time while losing the responses that make collaboration useful.
