Building higher-touch AI products that are applicable across the entire customer base of an existing enterprise SaaS provider on release does feel impossible.<p>It&#x27;s very obvious when you look at the AI companies that have &#x27;exit-velocity&#x27; in this space that they are playing in that they are either one of the following:<p>1. Targeting a need within that org that&#x27;s narrow enough to be MVP-able enough across a diverse customer base<p>2. Targeting IC work directly<p>As we add more complexity here, it&#x27;s going to be a long, long slog to market - even with model advancements.

Author here, thanks for posting!<p>Would be interested if anyone else sees these dynamics playing out. It seems there’s a really powerful combination of larger players starting later and a rising tide of AI improvements that mean the smaller shops can leap frog ahead, in ways that I haven’t seen before.
