An AI demo can look brilliant in five minutes. Then customers start using the product. They push it into workflows you didn’t anticipate. They expect it to work reliably. And they quickly find out whether it solves a big enough problem to become part of how they work — or becomes another AI experiment they tried and abandoned.

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, leaders from Anthropic, Gamma, and Clay will come together on the AI Stage for “What Anthropic Sees When Enterprises Actually Deploy Claude.” The conversation will bring two sides of AI deployment: the patterns Anthropic sees across enterprise implementations and the firsthand experience of founders building AI products people actually use.

What happens after the AI launch?

Most conversations about enterprise AI focus on what companies could do with it. Anthropic Head of Applied AI Cat de Jong starts somewhere more interesting: what happens after deployment.

De Jong works directly with enterprises putting Claude into critical workflows. At Disrupt, she’ll explore where deployments succeed, where they stall, and what separates organizations extracting real value from those still running pilots 18 months later.

If you’re selling AI into the enterprise, those patterns matter. De Jong’s experience offers a firsthand look at what changes when AI moves from experimentation into critical workflows and why some organizations get to production while others don’t.

How do you get people to use what you’ve built?

Anthropic can see patterns across enterprise deployments. Gamma Co-Founder and CEO Grant Lee brings another perspective to the conversation: what it looks like from inside a company building an AI product and getting people to actually use it.

Gamma has grown its AI-powered platform from an alternative to traditional presentation software into a broader visual communication tool. TechCrunch reported in March that the company was approaching 100 million users as it expanded its AI tools into marketing assets and other forms of visual content.

That kind of adoption gives Lee a useful vantage point on the questions at the center of this session: What makes an AI product useful enough for customers to keep coming back? What changes once people start using it in ways you didn’t anticipate? And how do you turn powerful AI capabilities into a product that solves a problem people actually have?

Building an AI product is one thing. Getting people to make it part of how they work is another. Secure your pass to Disrupt and hear what Gamma has learned along the way.

What happens when AI becomes part of the workflow?

Clay Co-Founder and CEO Kareem Amin brings the perspective of a founder building AI into the way companies find and reach customers. Clay provides infrastructure to pull in data, run agentic workflows, and launch GTM plays.

In January, TechCrunch reported that Clay was one of the launch apps integrated into Claude when Anthropic introduced interactive workplace tools inside the Claude interface, so his perspective is particularly relevant to the conversation.

That puts Amin close to the questions this session will explore: where AI is genuinely useful, how it fits into existing workflows, and what happens once customers start depending on it.

Together, de Jong, Lee, and Amin bring different views of that transition. Anthropic can identify patterns across enterprise deployments, while Gamma and Clay can pressure-test those patterns against what they’re seeing as customers put AI products to work.

Hear what it takes for an AI product to go beyond the demo at Disrupt 2026

An impressive demo can show what AI makes possible. The harder test comes when customers start depending on it. At Disrupt, Anthropic brings a view across enterprise deployments, while Gamma and Clay bring the founder perspective on building AI products people actually use.

Join them at Disrupt, October 13–15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, where 10,000+ founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders gather for 200+ sessions across six industry stages, roundtables, and breakouts featuring 250+ speakers, plus 300+ exhibiting startups, matchmaking, and networking.

Resident doctors have given the federal government a 14-day ultimatum to begin implementing outstanding agreements on their welfare and working conditions or face “further industrial action.”

The ultimatum takes effect from 1 October 2026, according to a communique issued at the end of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors’ (NARD) 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Calabar, Cross River State.

According to the document signed by the association’s new President, Ogar Idoko, Secretary-General, Besongngem Akotanchi, and Publicity and Social Secretary, Ashimom Msughter, the meeting was held from 21 to 26 September.

The doctors said the ultimatum became necessary due to ongoing delays in resolving several welfare and professional issues, despite the government’s previous engagements and commitments.

Outstanding allowances, salaries

The resident doctors demanded the immediate payment of 19 months of outstanding Professional Allowance Table (PAT) arrears.

They also demanded payment of outstanding arrears arising from the 25/35 per cent upward review of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) for doctors and other affected health workers.

The association said several medical doctors were still owed salary and promotion arrears in various federal health institutions.

It also demanded the immediate correction of omissions and errors in the payment of the 2026 Medical Residency Training Fund (MRTF). It called for an upward review of the fund to reflect the current cost of residency training.

The doctors said the reviewed MRTF should also be captured in the 2027 Appropriation Act.

Other demands

The resident doctors called for the accelerated conclusion of the long-running Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Nigerian Medical Association and the federal government.

They said the unresolved review of the CONMESS salary structure had remained outstanding for about 17 years and was contributing to the brain drain affecting the health sector.

The association also called for a sustainable recruitment system to address “the critical manpower shortages occasioned by brain drain and guarantee safe and effective healthcare delivery.”

It demanded the implementation of the approved work-hour regulation policy, including functional biometric systems to document working hours and a standardised system for compensating doctors for excess workload.

The doctors also called for the implementation of “the Assault on Health Workers Prevention Policy across all health institutions with clear accountability mechanisms” and the payment of outstanding pension contributions.

The association further demanded urgent improvements in healthcare infrastructure, equipment and essential medical facilities across the country.

It said poor infrastructure and inadequate equipment were affecting patient safety, healthcare delivery and the training of resident doctors.

Threat of industrial action

Under the resolution, the AGM mandates that the NARD National Executive Council (NEC) “closely monitor” the government’s response over the next two weeks.

The association said it would take “all necessary lawful and constitutionally sanctioned actions”, including further industrial action, if the authorities failed to demonstrate meaningful compliance within the stipulated period.

The latest ultimatum follows several rounds of disputes between resident doctors and the federal government this year.

In January, the doctors suspended a planned nationwide strike scheduled to begin on 12 January after the National Industrial Court restrained the association from embarking on the action, and the government made fresh commitments.

In April, resident doctors commenced a nationwide strike over the reversal of the Professional Allowance Table and other outstanding financial obligations. The action was suspended less than 24 hours later following government interventions.

In June, the association issued another 21-day ultimatum over unpaid allowances, salary arrears and delays in the residency training fund.

The resident doctors’ latest ultimatum, therefore, gives the federal government until 1 October to “commence demonstrable implementation of the resolutions contained in this communique.”
