Harry forces Arvind to address the competition question head-on: Anthropic has already launched vertical product packs for Figma, legal, and health — will enterprise be next? Arvind argues those packs are shallower than they appear and are expanding the market rather than cannibalising it: non-designers using Claude Design are not displacing Figma users. He acknowledges that Claude's primary use case — question answering — is exactly Glean's core, and that MCP connectivity means enterprises already ask why they need Glean at all.

Open source vs. closed source is a settled debate for most enterprises — open source wins on cost. The new, unresolved question is whether CIOs will accept Chinese open-source models despite backdoor fears and competitive optics. Early movers who accept them gain a massive cost advantage.
