What they did
In large deals Lyzr is usually up against Palantir, LangChain and similar. In two deals against Palantir (the US government and an unnamed critical-infrastructure enterprise) it won on an agent-first product with no legacy software to sell, and by shipping a prototype to the customer in 10 days. The guest frames the underdog tag as an advantage.
What happened
