For the past decade, software added dashboards, tools, and layers of complexity. The next generation of AI companies will win by doing the opposite — eliminating toil, removing friction, and making entire categories of manual work disappear. In this fireside chat, Ayush Sharma (CEO + Founder of Warp) and Warp's Series A lead and renowned investor, Ashton Kutcher (General Partner at Sound Ventures), explore why subtraction — not expansion — is the defining opportunity in AI, and how founders can build companies that don’t just improve workflows, but erase them entirely. This was filmed at our annual flagship Global Conference in Silicon Valley.
