The Edge of Show

How does a non-custodial crypto exchange transform into a global Web3 super app tailored to both European and Asian user mindsets?

In this special episode sponsored by ChangeNOW recorded live at Token2049 in Singapore, special guest host Andrew Baschuk sits down with Tim Stanyakin, Head of Growth at ChangeNOW.

Tim breaks down ChangeNOW’s product evolution, explaining why feature development is strictly driven by user demand rather than internal guesswork. He reveals the stark UX/UI differences between European markets (which favor minimal, under-the-hood interfaces) and APAC markets (where users expect comprehensive dashboards right on the home screen).
Discover why user trust is pivoting toward compliant, privacy-focused platforms, how bringing on TradFi veterans like Martin Masser accelerates strategic partnerships, and ChangeNOW's secret plans to launch a physical crypto education hub and workspace in Hong Kong.

On this episode of Edge Live, host Josh Kriger sits down with Charlie Hu, co-founder of OpenMax, for an unscripted, candid AI Operator Briefing.

Charlie breaks down how OpenMax transitioned from an over-hired 60-engineer team writing hand-coded software to a lean, 20-person team managing nearly 100 autonomous AI agents, cutting their monthly burn rate by 85%. He explains the fundamental flaw of single-agent chat tools: context-window information decay (the "AI Alzheimer's problem") and how OpenMax’s underlying Zyrus framework delivers persistent memory across Slack, Telegram, and Microsoft Teams.
Watch a live demonstration of OpenMax's multi-agent workspace, featuring asset-level permissions, real-time CPU/memory load monitoring, and an automated candidate screening pipeline that parses 150+ pages of resume data to score and qualify recruits in minutes.

Can a non-technical founder build and ship four revenue-generating SaaS platforms in just three days without hiring a single developer? On this episode of Edge Live, host Josh Kriger puts AI website and software builder Willo on trial with serial entrepreneur, music executive, and TechCrunch Disrupt winner Erik Mendelson.

Erik details his transition from spending $1 million on traditional offshore dev teams for his app RecordGram in 2017 to "vibe coding" complete applications over a single weekend.

Discover Erik's unfiltered scorecard on Willo's build quality, backend server provisioning, and sub-$100/month operating cost. Plus, Erik shares his hot takes on how AI is eroding critical thinking in younger generations, why traditional developers are being leapfrogged by prompt-driven operators, and how AI-driven SEO got his unreleased beta indexed by ChatGPT in under 12 hour

What happens when you stop just prompting AI and start giving it an operational budget to run a business? In this beta edition of Edge Live, host Josh Kriger sits down with Zach Francis, co-founder of Willo, a no-code, AI-native business operating system.

In this hands-on, live-building episode, Josh and Zach tackle a real-world partner problem: creating a free, viral "website roast" and SEO audit tool to help affiliates convert new users. In under fifteen minutes, using Willo's conversational interface, they deploy a functional web application complete with instant SEO scoring, ADA-compliance alt-text checks, custom tone selectors (from professional to "savage"), and automated site-fix capabilities.

Discover Zach's bold predictions for the agentic economy, where AI agents act as customers purchasing software and hiring other agents, plus a look at Willo's roadmap for Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrations, recurring task automation, and embedded CRMs.
