Fred Turner, CEO of Curative, reveals how his company is slashing 80% of its SaaS spend by replacing legacy software with custom AI agents. By utilizing LLMs to automate complex workflows like credentialing and contract negotiations, Curative has achieved massive operational efficiency, proving that AI-driven internal tools can outperform expensive, off-the-shelf enterprise platforms.
Key insight: Curative's AI agent, 'Gwen,' now handles contract negotiations end-to-end, increasing output from 100 contracts a week to 100 per day while reducing the cost per contract from $2,000 to $70.
