Living Interfaces, OpenAI Collabs, & Enterprise AI with Josh Payne, CEO of Coframe
"We see the future of digital experiences as living — personalized and self-improving 24/7." - Josh Payne
In this episode, Jacqueline Freedman puts Josh Payne in The Hot Seat to unpack "living interfaces," AI-driven experimentation, and what agentic marketing really looks like in practice.
Josh shares lessons from collaborating with OpenAI, why most CRO tests fail, and where generative engine optimization (GEO) is headed next.
We delve into enterprise realities, including privacy and governance, avoiding spaghetti code, and what a "living interface" entails.
