Dan Lee (Co-Founder & CEO of Nooks) joins GTMnow to give a behind the scenes on how Nooks is launching a new Agent Workspace and AI Sequencing layer designed to operate across the full action set of a rep’s day — calls, emails, research, prospecting, and strategy.The conversation explores why top of funnel is changing the fastest, why traditional sequencing tools optimize the “move” but not the strategy, and how AI systems that learn from rep behavior can compound advantage over time. As adoption deepens, automation can move from ~40% of outbound execution toward 70% and beyond, while switching away resets that intelligence.We also discuss the broader category shift: customers pushing AI-native tools to take on incumbents, the rise of agent workspaces as the new interface for GTM teams, and why calls remain the most data-rich channel in outbound compared to silent email non-responses.Guest links: Guest - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan9lee/Guest company - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nooksapp/Guest company website: https://www.nooks.ai/Host links:Sophie Buonassisi - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophiebuonassisi/Sophie Buonassisi - X (Twitter): https://x.com/sophiebuonaNewsletter: https://thegtmnewsletter.substack.comSponsors:HockeyStack - the AI platform that unifies GTM data to help teams convert, expand, and scale.
