AI is the best demoware ever invented. You can hack something in a weekend, post a screen share, and go viral. But turning that into a product people trust is brutal. The first time users lose trust, they’re gone. The gap between demo and production is massive. For all the AI investment so far, there are few breakout apps beyond frontier labs and coding tools. Closing that gap takes two capabilities: 1. Building a killer app - this is hard enough. 2. Bending an LLM to your will - this is breaking new ground, as we're all learning how to master them. It’s hard. But if you can do both, the opportunity is enormous.
