The business world has witnessed dramatic shifts in how software serves organizations, from clunky on-premise solutions to cloud-based platforms. Now, a new revolution is brewing: software that works for you, not the other way around. Daniel Saks, CEO of Landbase, is at the forefront of this shift, leveraging what he calls “agentic AI” to transform how businesses generate quality leads that actually convert.
Redefining AI for Business Applications
Most discussions about artificial intelligence focus on chatbots or content generation, but Daniel sees something more powerful emerging. “What’s enabling this is a new trend in AI called agentic AI,” he explains. “I define that as being able to take action on data, to be able to harness machine intelligence with top human performance.” This distinction matters. While traditional AI systems might analyze data and provide insights, they typically stop short of taking action. Daniel’s vision puts AI in the driver’s seat – not just suggesting what you might do, but actually doing it for you.
The Software Evolution Problem
Software has transformed how we work, but not always for the better. Daniel points out a frustrating reality many business leaders face daily. “Over the last two generations of software, we’ve been used to being glued to our screens, living in our software, working for our software,” he says. Anyone who’s spent hours updating CRM entries or jumping between apps knows this pain all too well. The problem gets worse as companies adopt more tools. “We’ve all faced the app overload of being required to toggle across many different software tools,” Daniel notes. Each application solves one problem but creates another: more screens, more inputs, more time spent serving the software instead of serving customers.
Daniel’s company is working to reverse this relationship. “In the future at Landbase, we believe that you should no longer work for your software, but your software should work for you,” he states. This simple but powerful idea challenges how we think about business tools. But what does this look like in practice? Daniel breaks it down: “Instead of you having to input things on your software, your software is going to make recommendations to you based on actions you can take to improve your business.” The shift moves software from passive tool to active partner – one that doesn’t just store information but helps decide what to do with it.
Using AI for Lead Generation
Landbase applies this agentic approach specifically to lead generation, one of the most time-consuming aspects of growing a business. “At Landbase, we’re helping businesses on lead generation, and therefore we can use agentic AI for you to identify who you are, who you want to sell to, and target those customers,” Daniel explains. The system doesn’t stop at identification. It continues working through the entire lead generation process. Daniel describes how the AI can “identify the ideal channel to reach them on, whether that be email, phone, LinkedIn ads, and execute campaigns that have a higher likelihood of converting.” By handling these tasks autonomously, AI becomes more than an assistant – it becomes an agent working on your behalf.
The ultimate benefit goes beyond better leads or higher conversion rates. “The AI works for you so you can reclaim your day and do more of what you love,” Daniel says. This gets at something more fundamental than business metrics – time itself. For busy entrepreneurs and sales teams, time spent managing software is time not spent on strategy, relationships, or innovation. When AI handles the mechanical aspects of lead generation and outreach, it frees humans to focus on what humans do best. The software finally serves its original purpose: making work better, not just making more work.
