The idea of replacing software with language-driven prompts is intriguing in large part because many of the tools currently used in enterprises are not used regularly, contends Taylor, who was formerly co-CEO of Salesforce.

“You sign into Workday when you onboard as a new employee, and maybe for open enrollment,” Taylor told the audience at the HumanX conference taking place this week in San Francisco. Instead of learning to navigate complex systems, he argued that users will soon use natural language to complete tasks without ever interacting with the software interface.

He added that Sierra is already leveraging Ghostwriter to deploy agents at “unparalleled speeds.” Taylor offered, as an example, that his startup implemented an agent for Nordstrom in just four weeks.

Sierra announced last fall that it reached $100 million in annual revenue run rate (ARR), less than 21 months after its founding. The company was last valued at $10 billion when it raised a $350 million round led by Greenoaks Capital in September.
