↗What Happened
It’s no hyperbole to suggest that ChatGPT subsequently transformed the worlds of business and tech.
Our Take
Three years ago ChatGPT shipped and everyone lost their minds. Fair—it was genuinely novel. But we're in the trough now. 90% of 'AI products' launched in 2024-25 are just ChatGPT in a trench coat. The ones actually winning (like Rufus) aren't flashy—they're solving *specific* friction. The hype is dead. Real work starts here.
The winners from here on aren't the ones talking about AI. They're the ones using it to quietly cut costs or friction.
What To Do
If you're pitching an AI product without naming the concrete customer problem it solves, you're already behind.
