THE BIGGEST MISTAKE In the AI build vs. buy debate? Asking "Can we build it?" In 2026, the answer is almost always yes. The better question is: "Do we actually want to own it?" Building the prototype is the easy part. Maintaining it, governing it, securing it, and scaling it across your business is where the real cost shows up. That's one of the biggest takeaways from our conversation with leaders from G2, HubSpot, and Gong on how revenue teams are making AI build vs. buy decisions today. Read the full breakdown, including why the smartest teams are treating build vs. buy as a dial, not a binary decision. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gdGGWzBG
