With GraphQL, teams can move fast, building AI-enabled tools that solve complex problems — that’s the conversation with Matt DeBergalis on this episode of Invisible Machines.

The CEO and Co-founder of Apollo GraphQL, Matt knows a thing or two about building systems that scale. With a background in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, experience founding multiple startups, and leading open-source communities, he’s also the founder and president of ActBlue, the platform that’s raised over $9 billion from millions of grassroots donors.

In this episode, Matt joins OneReach.ai CEO, Robb Wilson, and his coauthor of their bestselling book (Age of Invisible Machines), Josh Tyson to unpack how GraphQL is helping developers build smarter, AI-powered solutions.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

  • Why GraphQL makes data fetching precise, flexible, and easier for developers.
  • How creating your own tools gives organizations a real edge with agentic AI.
  • Ways teams can experiment, adapt, and move quickly in complex environments.
  • A walk down memory lane to the early internet and why ChatGPT was the mother of all demos.

Whether you’re a developer, a tech leader, or just curious about AI in action, this episode is full of practical insights. Listen to the episode to hear Matt DeBergalis share how GraphQL and agentic AI are shaping the future of building smarter systems.
