Preparing for SaaStock: Our AI and SaaS Sessions
Our sessions to cut through the AI hype and learn what actually works in SaaS and AI today [2026 Guide]

SaaStock is around the corner.

We recently hosted our SXSW event, where we explored what the future of SaaS and AI might actually look like. The takeaway wasn’t that SaaS is dead. It isn’t. But it is changing, and quickly.

If you want a deeper look at the discussions from our first event, you can read a full recap written by one of the attendees.

Right now, both SaaS and AI-native companies are facing the same challenge: cutting through the noise. There’s no shortage of ideas, tools, or opinions. What’s missing is clarity. What is actually worth building, and what isn’t?

That first session sparked a lot of thinking. It also made one thing clear. Most teams don’t really know where they’re heading. They’re moving fast, but not always with direction.

That’s why we’re organizing a series of sessions, to help you step back and understand where you’re going.

The goal is simple: help you shape a clear AI roadmap. Something you can stand behind, and something your team can actually use.

Here’s what we have planned:

  1. Webinar: Slicing It Up: SaaS and AI-native products & business models
  2. F2F Product Workshop at Austin: For AI-native and SaaS companies (selected participants)
  3. Afterburner Happy Hour @ Austin
  4. Closing Webinar: Turning learnings into practice

➜ Full details and registration here.

These are designed as a series, but you can join individual sessions too. Though that’s usually how things start getting… a bit unclear 😉

I really appreciate Mikko! He improved LlamaIndex's Qdrant integration by fixing critical issues in the QdrantVectorStore API—enhancing query accuracy, reliability and performance of LlamaIndex.

Mikko is awesome! He built a prompt support system for Guardrails AI back when OpenAI's API only supported basic text completion. His solution improved the quality of language model outputs.

Working with Softlandia was great! Mikko and Henrik built a Slack bot integrated with real-time RAG pipelines, delivering instant and accurate answers to questions. The bot was created during a live 2-hour session streamed on YouTube.
