AI

How has @levie evolved his business model over time? I found this 15 year old video in my vault of him: piped.video/RRz2O98gXv4?si=oouj… He's right. Everyone should go into AI with the expectation that it will rapidly evolve their business. He's been leading for many years now. Aaron Levie (@levie) The more I meet enterprise CIOs and AI leaders outside of tech, the more it’s obvious that if you’re building software that doesn’t have a great headless mode, you’re going to be at risk in the coming years. Asked a group of 20 IT leaders across banking, media, finance, and healthcare if they will have any vendors left in 3-5 years that don’t have a good API option for their service and it was a unanimous “no”. This is clearly going to change the nature of software going forward. You have to be completely comfortable serving up your value proposition as much through agent on or off your platform, as you are your own interface. I suspect most platforms will make it to the other side because of how forceful the trend will be, but of course some won’t if their heads in the sand. But on the other end, the upside is that in a world of 100X+ more agents doing work with with software than people ever did, there are far more use-cases to drive and be a part of. In many ways it’s a renaissance if you’re tied to critical data or workflows because of what customers can now use you for. It will certainly force an evolution of business models over time – whether you embed all of this agentic usage in a seat license or make it all consumption based – but dollars will always flow to where value is created. Going to be fun! — https://nitter.net/levie/status/2042759653281456218#m
