The biggest AI opportunity isn’t building another feature. It’s removing friction your customers deal with every day. This week on Founder Mode, JJ Zhuang returns to revisit predictions from a year ago and share what building Pretty Good AI has taught him since. The technology keeps changing. The companies that win won’t be the ones chasing every new model. They’ll be the ones staying close enough to their customers to know which problems are actually worth solving. Don’t build around AI. Build around the work people need done.
