If you’re building AI for fill in the ___ (GTM, legal, media, production…), packaging your unique insight, process, skills. You are still the product. AI is the feature and multiplier. Your customers will still want to work with you, the human.

If you’re building something that connects everything into one place, email, calendar, Slack, messages, sheets… that’s a feature. Not a product.

Hard filters:
-Hype formats: kickoff parties, mega-mixers, summits with emojis, anything celebrity

Clarity is rare. Conviction is hard earned.
The future of tech/venture will run on proof.
We are building that future.

Watching this one closely.
Training custom models per customer is a much harder bet than instrumentation.
Signal — @raindrop_ai
Verdict: Track
What must be true next: custom per-customer models beat LLM-as-judge, in production, at scale.

Frictionless comes with a cost.
