Anthropic, Gamma, and Clay share what happens when enterprises actually deploy AI at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will host a session on the AI Stage where Anthropic, Gamma, and Clay discuss how AI moves from demonstration to dependable workplace tool. Anthropic’s Head of Applied AI, Cat de Jong, plans to describe common patterns the company observes when enterprises put Claude into operational workflows — including why some deployments succeed and others remain pilots for extended periods.

Grant Lee, CEO of Gamma, will bring the perspective of a company that has scaled an AI-powered visual communication platform toward mass adoption. TechCrunch reported in March that Gamma was nearing 100 million users as it expanded AI features into marketing and other visual content — experience Lee will use to address what makes AI products repeatedly useful to customers and how unexpected user behaviors reshape product priorities.

Kareem Amin, CEO of Clay, will discuss integrating AI into go-to-market and data workflows. Clay supplies infrastructure for data ingestion, agentic workflows, and campaign launches and was among the initial apps integrated into Anthropic’s Claude interactive workplace tools in January, giving Amin direct exposure to how enterprise customers rely on embedded AI capabilities.

Together the three presenters aim to contrast Anthropic’s cross-enterprise observations with the on-the-ground lessons from founders building customer-facing AI products. The session will examine reliability, workflow fit, and the threshold at which AI features become indispensable rather than experimental. The Disrupt conference runs October 13–15 at Moscone West and includes a program of 200+ sessions and more than 250 speakers.
