The Agentic Pivot: Rebuilding PointFive with Co-Founder and CTO Amir Hozez
AI is already rewriting your roadmap, your architecture, and your cloud bill. PointFive was built before the AI era, then rebuilt itself AI-native, moving from a deterministic SaaS platform to an agentic one where capabilities emerge that nobody explicitly built. In this conversation, Amir Hozez (Co-Founder & CTO) sits down with Taylor Houck to talk through the rebuild, the coding-agent spend problem, and build vs. buy in the AI era, with a quick live look at DeepWaste.
- The AI-native rebuild: Moving from a deterministic SaaS platform to an agentic one: the data fabric underneath, the agentic harness on top.
- DeepWaste, live: One real detection, live, the same depth that won over teams like Expedia and OpenText.
- The coding-agent spend problem: Why it's the fastest-growing line item in engineering budgets, with almost no visibility into it.

The AI-native rebuild
What it takes to turn a traditional platform into an agentic one: the proprietary data fabric underneath, the agentic harness on top.
DeepWaste, live
Amir Hozez shows a real detection live, the same depth that won over teams like Expedia and OpenText.
The coding-agent spend problem
Why coding agent costs are exploding with almost no visibility, and what to do about it.
Build vs. buy in the AI era
When “I'll just do it in Claude or Cursor” works, and when it doesn't.
