1. The AI Gold Rush is Now
- GPT-4o image generation is being compared to the original ChatGPT launch in impact.
- There's a short window (6–12 months) to build AI-first vertical software before big platforms dominate.
- Opportunities to spin up 7-figure niche software and service businesses are everywhere.
2. Image & Video AI is Exploding
- GPT-4o can create high-quality images and design components, even animated sprite sheets.
- AI-generated CPG product designs, gifs for e-commerce, and creative visuals will become services.
- AI video quality (think “Will Smith eating spaghetti” meme) has gone from laughable to near-perfect in 2 years.
3. Inbox, Calendar & CRM Will Be Rebuilt
- These core productivity tools will be redesigned with AI from the ground up.
- Not just enhanced—fully reimagined to act smarter, look better, and be more human-friendly.
- Platforms like MicroHQ and Superhuman are early steps in this direction.
4. Faceless AI Video Content Will Dominate—But…
- AI will allow anyone to generate full videos and narratives easily.
- However, platforms might deboost AI-generated or faceless content due to a lack of human connection.
- Still, large-scale content farms could flood the internet unless regulated.
5. Customer Support & Legacy Interfaces Will Vanish
- AI will automate even complex support tasks within 36 months.
- Static homepages will be replaced with dynamic, personalized interfaces that adapt to who you are and what you need in real-time.
6. Sketching & Ideation Are the New Superpowers
- Tools that turn sketches into production-ready designs will empower anyone with a good idea and taste to build products.
- The "sketching economy" could become one of the most important trends.
7. AI-First Consumer Mobile Apps Are Back
- From desktop-first to mobile-first to now AI-first mobile apps.
- Niching down with AI-powered, beautifully designed mobile tools will spawn a new wave of $100M+ startups.
8. The Rise of Vibe Coding & Vibe Marketing
- “Vibe Coding” = fun, component-rich, beautiful app development enhanced by AI tools.
- “Vibe Marketing” = smart, automated workflows for outreach, email, and CRM—but with a cooler name and a little controversy.
- Both are massive opportunities with people debating the vibe vs. boring nature of the terms.
9. Mediocre Success is the Real Trap
- Founders should avoid clinging to mildly successful but uninspiring projects.
- Pivot to what excites you and has long-term potential.
10. AI Disrupting Education & Work
- Smart teens may skip formal schooling, using AI tools to learn, build, and earn faster.
- Entrepreneurial skills are becoming more valuable than degrees.
- Schools might evolve into hybrid models powered by AI agents, with students launching companies at 14.
