I heard a nice analogy to AI this morning: Coca Cola needed refrigeration before it could build its business.
I think this platform flows to AI. All sorts of businesses will be rebuilt and reimagined using AI. This is where incumbents have the advantage. But if you built an AI migration agent, you could pretty easily move data away from one app to the next schema. (And create accounts that need to be reviewed if the data doesn’t look correct.)
So back to the original point, spending time following all these niche evolutions is how you learn. And everything with AI right now is learning in public. This won’t always be the case, once this hype cycle substitutes for the next, much of the learning and experimentation likely goes back inside the companies.
