HOW TO BECOME "AI-NATIVE"

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

AI-native is an organizational label, not a tech one. It is estimated that only roughly 1,000 companies above $5M ARR have actually rebuilt themselves so agents can operate inside the core workflows rather than at the edges. Most companies aren't legible to machines because pricing logic lives in "Final_v7_NEW" spreadsheets, refund policy hides in a Notion doc nobody trusts, and the sales process is "talk to Sarah," so the AI-native shift requires making implicit knowledge explicit: documented decision rules, agent-readable SOPs, clean customer objects, permissions, audit trails, and evaluation loops.
