Another week on the #GenAI fast track. This past week has been full of customer & partner meetings, each one a deep dive into the evolving landscape of GenAI. It’s fascinating to see how much more aware and informed the ecosystem has become. Customers, Partners & Employees are not just asking questions; they're sharing insights, presenting sharp points of view, and actively shaping the conversation. It's a clear sign of the times. There’s a palpable excitement in the air driving each discussion. This dynamic is pushing us all to stay on our toes, constantly learning, and adapting. It's not just about keeping pace anymore; it's about running fast enough to ensure we’re always moving forward, never standing still. The key takeaway from this week? Stay agile. The GenAI landscape is shifting much faster than we collectively know, and it's all about adapting and moving with it to find success. Here’s to running fast, embracing the excitement, and leveraging the collective FOMO to fuel our growth and innovation. Read on the summary of insights from my customer interactions this week.

For the past year, I have been fortunate to get a ringside view of our #GenAI practice. Most exciting part of this phenomenon is that all the conversations are not about the WHY, but about the WHAT & HOW. Everyone is convinced about the potential lift that AI can create. https://lnkd.in/dkfG9nze

Feedback in the last 72 hours: COO of $10B+ company: "We really love your product." CMO of $1B+ company: "I used BrightHire and LOVED it!"

Today, I have some really exciting news to share. NEXT is acquiring Reveall 🎉 And we're insanely hyped about it. Ferdinand, Marcel, and Dwayne started Reveall in 2021 backed by DFF (Dutch Founders Fund) and Fortino Capital. Reveall's breakout success is driven by their mission to let product teams tap their qualitative data for customer insights just as easily as they do with their quantitative data. Clients like Albert Heijn, PostNL, Signify, Papercut, MOOD, and the Dutch Government quickly adopted the platform. We're inspired by their success and the community they've created around #productdiscovery. We've worked hard together in the last few months to pave the way for this acquisition and we couldn't be more excited to finally share the news. From our shared product-led growth (PLG) roots, to our closely aligned missions to help teams turn their customer interactions into product insights, we couldn't think of a better partner as we accelerate our growth at NEXT. It’s incredible to think about the opportunity ahead. A company's success today hinges on how quickly and accurately it identifies new customer needs and ships products. AI is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for achieving this goal by transforming the way product teams collect, consume, and act on customer insights. Whether it’s to validate day-to-day product decisions or big picture ideas, NEXT's AI-powered platform puts product discovery on autopilot to let teams build better products, faster, with a lower spend on development costs. AI will elevate product discovery and democratize access to customer insights that teams need to compete and win. We're just scratching the surface of what's possible with AI and as we scratch, we couldn't be happier to have Reveall on our side. Welcome Reveall to NEXT 💗
