Sorry missed the point so to stand out I think we should know what is the gap and why we are creating the product and who is it for how we are creating it has become much easier now

No problem.

It's still though the problem that investors were warning about at the AI Summit last year. The barrier to entry is now so low that they have almost stopped investing in AI coded products.

You've also got the customer flooded with "the new thing" and they don't have the skills to know what is any good.

I think I'm struggling because I'm technical and now trying to build something that will be larger than just me and so I'm hitting all new questions that I've never had to consider.

I'll obviously say that I have a killer product but it is just the same as all the rest!

Many people now can build simple products and I expect we will see a lot of small new apps in the nearest future. Quality is a different question, but for small apps AI can build it pretty well. But if you will try to build something bigger - AI which we have currently still cannot do that. Who knows what we will get in a year, bat barrier definnetely will become less and less. So what becomes really important (it was always important, but know becomes kind of critical to survive) is how to shape your idea, position it, find clients, advertise, etc. This is what we as progrummers typically didn'd do, we were thinking that our nice products will find a way to clients by themselvs.

I agree with you this lowering of barrier has made it so easy for everybody to create apps. The developer might not know what is good, but the customer surely decides so finally watch this is actually only the good ones. And also the art is not just developing right? it’s also about having that idea having that vision working towards positioning it and then marketing in a way that appeals to other users not just to the one who created it
