GeekyAnts Co-founder Sanket Sahu discussed the development of AntFabric, an AI-native enterprise workspace, during an on-site video interview at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 in San Francisco. The discussion was centered on the topic of how AntFabric ties together organizational knowledge and daily operations, the experience of developing the product at a known consulting firm, and how the team determines the demand for its product before taking any further action.

The interview occurred at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference from October 13-15, 2026, at Moscone West. AntFabric was presented at the conference by the company GeekyAnts, which was engaging with startups, tech firms, and investors to gain feedback about its approach to AI for enterprises.

According to Sahu, AntFabric represents an attempt to solve a recurring problem of an operational nature: relevant business data can be found in meetings, messaging, calendars, documents, and task management applications.

AntFabric Connects Organizational Knowledge With Everyday Work

AntFabric is being developed as a shared workspace where employees and AI agents can access organizational context and coordinate work across business functions.

During the interview, Sahu explained that information fragmentation becomes particularly difficult as organizations expand. Decisions made during customer conversations may need to reach product managers, engineering teams, and project owners before meaningful work can begin.

AntFabric addresses this through an organizational memory layer that connects information from different sources. This context can support AI agents and workplace actions through integrations, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, or through the platform’s own interface.

Sahu described the product as “a workspace where humans and agents work together to solve problems.”

He illustrated the concept using a sales conversation in which a customer shares new requirements. Those demands would typically pass through many people before becoming development tasks. The purpose of AntFabric is to comprehend the conversation, keep its context in mind, and finally, help route the generated tasks to the right individuals.

Ultimately, the goal is to cut down duplication of information transfers without sacrificing the connection between decisions and the follow-through.

As per the product documentation by the firm, AntFabric also offers connected communication, meeting minutes, task management, and even workflow automation with the aid of AI.

Internal Operational Challenges Shaped the Product

AntFabric was created due to difficulties experienced by GeekyAnts when expanding its consulting and engineering business.

Sahu said that managing the information among different departments became harder as the conversations, tasks, and decisions were stored in different systems. The organization started wondering whether artificial intelligence can be used to manage the information and decrease the need for coordination between departments.

The interview also addressed the differences between creating software for customers and creating products according to the experience gained in the company.

According to Sahu, in consulting, the engineer needs to understand the client’s business context before defining the problem.

Internal product development begins with direct exposure to the challenges being addressed.

That distinction influenced AntFabric’s direction. Instead of beginning the project with an example of an enterprise scenario, the group approached the product from an operational issue that they were facing. 

Additionally, Sahu also shared his entrepreneurial experience which included programming from a young age, freelancing and creating technology communities. This is how he developed his passion for problem-solving with software.

TechCrunch Disrupt Provides an Opportunity to Evaluate Market Demand

A significant part of the interview focused on AntFabric’s future organizational structure and commercial direction.

Sahu said GeekyAnts was evaluating whether AntFabric should eventually operate as a separate company. But he stressed that no final decision has been made yet about a spinout or investment.

Discussions with the team in San Francisco occurred in the context of SF Tech Week and TechCrunch Disrupt events, which offered an opportunity for learning about the competing products, customer expectations, and investor’s point of view.

This was supposed to serve as a means of assessing whether AntFabric solves a common operational problem and how positioning can evolve.

Sahu admitted that forming a new company and financing it were options for consideration. At present, the task is to validate the product.

The difference lies in the fact that these discussions served market research purposes and not fundraising announcements or restructuring of the corporation.

Connecting Bengaluru’s Engineering Experience With Silicon Valley

There were also discussions on the contrasts in the ecosystems between Bengaluru and San Francisco.

Sahu pointed out that there is a significant consumer startup ecosystem in India’s tech industry whereas its deep-tech ecosystem is growing. This contrast was made in light of the greater focus on raising venture funds in the Silicon Valley ecosystem.

For GeekyAnts, participation in San Francisco’s technology events offered a chance to compare these approaches while introducing AntFabric to potential users and industry peers.

The discussion concluded with Sahu emphasizing the importance of identifying problems that recur across people and organizations before committing to a business around them.

AntFabric’s next phase will be shaped by that principle. GeekyAnts continues to develop the  workspace while analyzing the response of businesses to this combination of organizational memory, AI agents, and integrated workflows.

The interview positioned product-market validation, rather than a predetermined funding or spinout decision, as the immediate consideration guiding AntFabric’s direction.
