Only at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: What happens when OpenAI ships your roadmap?
TL;DR
At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, running October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, a Builders Stage session tackles a question many AI startups worry about: what happens when a foundation model company like OpenAI ships the very feature your product depends on? Airbyte CEO Michel Tricot, Webflow CEO Linda Tong and Radical Ventures partner Rob Toews discuss how companies keep creating value as models improve.
Nauti's Take
The session hits a real nerve and gives founders the opportunity to hear from companies like Airbyte and Webflow that have already lived through platform shifts. The limit is the format: a conference panel tends to deliver principles rather than hard numbers, and answers on stage usually lean optimistic.
Anyone building a product on third-party models should independently check which parts rest on their own data and customer relationships.
