CEO, Jones Road) to explain why he built Runneth, an AI agent meant to eventually replace Motion’s own product. He walks through the context engineering behind that shift and what it means for marketers. </p><p>Motion scrapped its own revenue targets right after a record quarter, betting the whole company on AI agents.
