#PowerToTheConsumer: Insights from 30 Leading Consumer AI Founders, Operators and Thinkers
Thoughts & Comments
Highlights & Notes
To build a long term moat, network effects are still key — proprietary data may help engineer these network effects by helping quickly facilitate go to market. OpenAI not only had the best data set, it was also first-to-market and built a brand on the back of its papers and founders’ profiles.
Other than proprietary data, being first-to market (e.g., JasperAI, Character.AI), having engaged communities (e.g. Midjourney’s Discord) and delivering a magical customer experience are other viable pathways to building long term moats.
Incumbents Have Distribution, Startups Have Shipping Velocity
The knowledge contained in the context, emotion and images cannot be replaced by language. Language in LLMs is being used as a target or even as a goal when, in fact, it should be a measure. Further, compute is a bigger limiting factor than we realize… especially as it relates to startups capturing proprietary data sets.
