ERP veterans: nobody except investors wants an AI-native ERP
MatthewChang · x · 2026-10-09
- Longtime ERP practitioner Brad says he has never heard a customer ask for an "AI-native ERP" — aside from investors, nobody wants agents living inside their ERP.
- He concedes that integrations like hooking Claude into Carbon are loved, and JE-style auto-classification/data entry is genuinely useful, but that isn't "AI-native."
- He also thanks YC for fielding an AI ERP competitor he's been wanting to take on; Matthew Chang amplified the take, noting ERP Twitter is buzzing over the debate.
