On a mission to kill broken meetings.
“Guess who else’s job is gonna go through it? Everyone’s.”
Dan Zitting had watched AI change the work of Nitrogen’s software engineers for months. As CEO, he could see his own job was next.
So he spent a week using the tools until he could run his day with them. When he came back to the company, he had a way to show people how far they could go with AI. He put himself on the scale, too.
On Beyond the Meeting, Dan joins Aaron Klein to explain the AI maturity levels he brought to his team and why coaching matters when the worker is an agent.
Listen to the full episode for what came after that first week.
Raising more VC money doesn't make you a better business.
Dan Zitting is the CEO of Nitrogen. Before that, he founded workpapers.com and led Galvanize through its acquisition. He's seen friends lose businesses that could have succeeded because VC expectations required them to become much bigger than they could sustain.
Before taking VC money, ask: can your business realistically grow as big as those investors expect?
On Beyond the Meeting, Dan joins Aaron Klein to talk about building and leading companies, including how he got his team using AI by learning the tools himself first. Listen to the full episode for lessons you can apply to getting your own team using AI.

When AI started changing his engineers' jobs, Nitrogen CEO Dan Zitting didn't wait to see what it would mean for everyone else.
He went first. A week alone with the tools until he was running his own day on them. Then he showed the company how, and what he'd learned along the way. Nine months of a scary thing turned into what he now calls their superpower. 💥
That's where Episode 2 of Beyond the Meeting, hosted by Aaron Klein, starts. Where it goes:
• What it's actually like to run a software company in the age of AI.
• Why the metrics that used to mean success are changing. Nitrogen used to count minutes in product as a win. Not anymore.
• What software that empowers human relationships looks like in practice. Including the fifteen minutes Dan spent running Nitrogen with his dad.

Ever get deja vu in a meeting?
Your notetakers took notes on the last meeting. They had what was said. They didn't have the right documents, or the concern from the Slack thread. So you started over, out loud, in the room.
Contio flows the conversation into the work. It pulls from your meetings, documents, and apps. After the call, the first draft is already started. Review it. Send it. You can surface insights from past meetings without starting over in the room.

Altruist CEO Jason Wenk said the number one thing that kept showing up on employee surveys was that they need to be better at communication.
That's a big part of what compounding workspace intelligence in Contio can solve.
You said it — but nobody wants to ask you to repeat it.
Now they don't have to.

AI sovereignty starts with knowing where your data is processed.
Training policies are only part of the security question. Enterprise teams also need to know where their data goes while the model is working on it, especially when that data includes sensitive conversations and intellectual property.
That is why we built Contio around private processing. We bring the AI to your data, not your data to the AI. 100% of the AI processing happens in our secure private cloud. We don’t record or store audio. We don’t train models.
Security and privacy start with architecture.

“They’re going to start building knowledge work that can replace humans.”
On Beyond the Meeting, Jason Wenk explains where the change is heading: financial firms, cash management, wealth management, and the work that happens around them.
The shift is already close enough to plan for.

Your AI chief of staff is already on it.
Every morning, Contio reviews your email, Slack, calendar, Google Drive, and documents, then gives you a clear brief: what you’ve been working on, what’s still outstanding, what needs prep, and what deserves priority.
That is prep that happens for you not by you.

Your calendar told you the meeting is at 10.
It did not tell you what you owe Dana. Or that they’ve asked for the March discount twice.
Contio has the context from across your workspace so the prep can be done for you at a press of a button.
