Episode How Zip's AI Superagents Automate Procurement End-to-End | Rujul Zaparde
Every business in the world has to procure things, and for most of them, that process is slow, manual, and full of money left on the table. Rujul Zaparde, co-founder of Zip, joins Craig to explain how his company is using AI Superagents to change that: from autonomously redlining contracts and running supplier RFPs, to pushing approved data directly into enterprise systems like SAP and Oracle. With over $1.2 trillion in cumulative spend processed - and Anthropic and OpenAI as customers - Zip isn't just experimenting with AI. It's building the governance infrastructure that makes agentic AI safe to deploy where the stakes are highest.
The conversation goes well beyond procurement software. Craig and Rujul explore why the gap between "piloting AI" and truly deploying it is costing enterprises billions in unrealized ROI, what it means for the economy when AI starts making pricing ruthlessly efficient, and where the real limits of automation actually lie. A rare episode that takes an overlooked corner of business - one that touches every company on earth - and shows just how much is about to change.
