- Why AI Won't Save Your Business
Hi Mate 👋,
building stuff with AI won't save your business...
Why?
Because in a world where everyone and their grandmother is "adding AI"...
Your unique value proposition is what you need to focus on.
What's New
This week I went deep into "Good to Great" by Jim Collins and had an interesting revelation about technology adoption.
The parallel between the dot-com era and today's AI gold rush hit me like a truck.
And I think I figured out why most AI companies will fail.
Insight
Here's the reality check we all need:
The AI gold rush is following the same pattern as every tech wave before it. Most GPT wrappers will die. Most "AI-powered" tools will fade away. Why? Because they're building on quicksand.
The real winners won't be the ones who add AI features. They'll be the ones who solve real problems. They'll be the ones who use AI to amplify their existing strengths. They'll be the ones who stay focused while others chase shiny objects.
Don't build for the hype. Build for the long game. Your customers don't care about AI. They care about results.
Becoming a Learning Machine
Rating: 4/5
📚 Currently Reading: "Good to Great" by Jim Collins
Key Learning: "Technology by itself is never a primary cause of either greatness or decline." Collins shows how great companies use technology as an accelerator of momentum, not its creator.
Closing
Remember, while everyone's chasing the next shiny AI model, the real winners are quietly building lasting value.
Talk Soon,
Stefan
