In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici sits down with Jotform Founder & CEO Aytekin Tank to discuss the newly emerging ChatGPT App Store and why it could become one of the biggest shifts in software distribution.
Aytekin explains how MCP (Model Context Protocol), originally introduced by Anthropic, helped shape the idea of connected AI apps — and how OpenAI’s ChatGPT App Store is bringing that vision to life. Instead of switching between dozens of SaaS tools, users can now interact with apps directly inside ChatGPT using natural language.
They also explore real-world examples including Jotform, Canva, Adobe Photoshop, Apple Music, and TripAdvisor integrations — showing how AI agents can connect tools, automate workflows, and reduce the need for traditional interfaces.
The conversation also covers why chat interfaces may replace traditional SaaS dashboards, how AI memory improves personalization, and why companies that build AI integrations now could benefit from massive distribution.
In this episode, we're seeing how AI agents and app stores are converging — and why the next generation of software may live entirely inside AI.

In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici sits down with Jotform founder Aytekin Tank to break down Jotform AI, the company’s new in product AI assistant built to help users create forms faster, easier, and with far less friction. Aytekin explains how Jotform AI can answer questions, take actions inside the product, and proactively suggest better next steps while users build.
They also get into how MCP powers the system behind the scenes, why Jotform AI uses multiple specialized agents instead of one general agent, and how voice interaction changes the onboarding experience for non technical users. If you want a practical look at how AI agents are being embedded directly into SaaS products, this episode is worth watching.

In this episode, we sit down with the founder and CEO of Sift AI to unpack a problem most founders don’t even realize they have: they’re solving the wrong problems.
From customer discovery and validation to the rise of “vibe founding,” we explore why asking for help with fundraising might actually mean you’re not ready yet—and how AI is both helping and hurting founders in that process.
We also dive into how tools like ChatGPT fall short when it comes to iteration, context, and real business building—and what a more structured, founder-first AI platform could look like.
If you're building (or thinking about building) something, this episode will challenge how you think about strategy, validation, and using AI the right way.
