Cannon-Brookes said in his shareholder’s letter that their expanding within their largest customers, to deliver AI that’s creating real value.
“In a world where humans will run teams of agents, context is the only anchor to avoid chaos. So we’re asking
our customers – are you building a company that forgets or one that compounds? And we believe that
answer will fundamentally decide which organizations are truly AI-native,” he said.
“Our customers aren’t just choosing software, they’re choosing the kind of company they want to become.
That’s what gives us confidence that our growth is durable and that the AI transformation is expanding our
long-term opportunity.”
