What if your customer data could think - and show you exactly where revenue is won or lost? In this episode of Pitch, Build, Scale, host Chris Fanchi sits down with Tim Gosnell, Founder of CommonThread AI, to explore how agentic AI is redefining how RevOps and SaaS companies understand customers. Tim shares the journey from early Atari programming days to building a system that maps every touchpoint and outcome in real time, revealing where relationships thrive, where churn begins, and how AI can elevate human connection rather than replace it.
