Roundtable Discussion: AI Predictions for 2026

As we move into 2026, AI is no longer a future concept, it is infrastructure. The question is no longer if AI will reshape our work, companies, and communities, but how and who will be positioned to lead.

This week at Founders Lounge, we are hosting an open discussion on AI predictions for 2026. This will not be a keynote or a panel. It is a facilitated, founder-driven conversation designed to surface real insights from builders, operators, and investors who are actively working in an AI-first world.

We will explore questions such as:

• What types of AI systems will actually scale in 2026?
• Where will AI replace traditional SaaS, and where will it not?
• How do persistent, always-on agents change the way teams operate?
• What new opportunities will emerge for founders who move early?
• What risks, constraints, or blind spots are being underestimated?

The goal is not to predict headlines, but to pressure-test assumptions, share real experiences, and collectively sharpen how we think about building in the year ahead.

If you are building, investing, or leading in an AI-enabled business, or trying to decide where to focus next, this conversation is for you.

Come prepared to listen, challenge ideas, and contribute your own perspective.

Founders Lounge is a space for AI First founders creating what comes next.
