Mathieu “Mat” Ferland, founder of V2 Cloud, joins AI InterConnect to explore how AI agents are moving beyond chat and beginning to perform real work inside business software. What happens when an AI agent needs to operate legacy applications that don't have APIs? Mat explains how computer-use AI can navigate software much like a human, using screens, mouse actions and keyboards, and why secure virtual environments, access boundaries and audit trails become critical as agents gain more autonomy. We also explore V2 Cloud's journey from virtual desktops to AI infrastructure, the challenges of competing in a crowded SaaS market, AI-agent security, trust, automation, and how businesses can safely bring AI into real workflows.
