Freelance work is being hit especially hard by AI, according to Revelio Labs. CEO Ben Zweig says the most exposed work is transactional and task-based. For example, companies that once hired someone on Upwork to build a one-off website can now often do it themselves with AI.

Gokul (Gokul Rajaram) explains why utility-based software companies like Zendesk are more exposed to AI than systems of record like NetSuite, and why public markets aren't distinguishing between the two: "The software companies that should be the most worried right now is where they are pricing the product based on utility. Zendesk is a good example. Instead of paying for 50 Zendesk seats, you can pay for 20 and I can have 30 AI agents sitting next to Zendesk. For these companies you need to change your pricing model to be based on outcome. It's going to be hard for them to stay public. The companies that are less exposed are ones based on data that has been collected and captured over a period of time. ERP is a great example. There is no compelling reason for someone to put their career at stake by ripping out NetSuite. NetSuite has more time to build AI agents on top of it because they have the data, they can train the AI agent on top of it and bundle it. I think the public markets do not distinguish between these two types of companies." (Jan 2026)

Gokul explains why outcome-based software companies like Zendesk are more exposed to AI than systems of record like NetSuite, and why public markets are not distinguishing between the two. He argues that the only way AI-native startups can disrupt systems of record is by spending 1-2 years building migration tools to get data off of incumbent platforms.

Zapier CEO Wade Foster says remote companies have an advantage in the AI era, becuase "every last bit of work exhaust is documented," which supercharges internal AI and accelerates people's work: "All our stuff is inside Slack. All our meetings are recorded. Every last inch of work that happens, there is a written trace of that." "So we can put chatbots on top of that, and that creates a whole bunch of institutional knowledge that accelerates the work." "So a new person coming in can literally figure out, 'Is there a standard operating procedure for this?' And you don't have to go chase people down in offices and sort of hope the campfire wisdom finds you." "Remote companies have a big advantage because they do tend to have so much work that leaves a digital exhaust."

"Your job is not to build a product. Your job is to solve a problem." Most companies avoid the messy, unsexy work. But that’s usually where the biggest opportunities live. Do the work others won't. – Ben Scharfstein, Scale AI

"To build a great company, you need to write code and talk to users." - Florian Juengermann (co-founder of Listen Labs) "AI agents can now write code, so what becomes important is building the right thing and having the right feedback." "That's what we are building: telling the AI what to do, what to build, and being the tastemaker."

.Sam Altman says the advice to pick one thing to build and pour all your focus into it no longer applies. "The canonical advice that was correct two years ago was, 'Pick one, and put all your effort into it, because you can't build all 30 things.'" "You can now build all 30 things. And you can get people to use them all. And you can work more on the ones that work." "So I think this mindset of lots of ideas, quick feedback, and being open to a lot of things not working is great for this new era for how people build."

AI can write you a poem. It can build a website. It can plan a trip. But it can't tap a button on your phone. That's what makes the boring work boring. Nobody's solved it. Until now. Airtap Ai is the AI that finally taps the buttons. You teach it a routine one time. It runs that routine every day for you.

We asked Shishir about the strategic vision behind @Grammarly's acquisition of Coda and Superhuman. "We call this layer the AI superhighway, bringing AI right to where people work. Up till now, we've only been running one car on that highway: the car with your high school grammar teacher in it." "A big part of our strategy is opening up Grammarly to become a platform, so you can build any sort of agent on it and have those agents come to you where you work." "The average person spends three to four hours a day in their email inboxes, with 50 million emails revised per week through Grammarly." "Email is a category ripe for disruption, and it's an obvious place for us to work next."

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says people think we’re in an AI bubble because a lot of AI just doesn’t work: “If you just buy LLMs off the shelf and try to do any of this, it won’t work.” “It’s not precise enough. You can’t do underwriting. You can’t do these things that are regulated.” “People have tried things that just can never work. You buy a LLM, put it on your stack, and wonder why it’s not working.” “What you’re going to see, especially in America, is people trying to do something like Ontology by hand.” “Once you build a software layer to orchestrate and manage the LLMs in a language your enterprise understands, you actually can create value.” “There’s a lot of discussion on if we’re in an AI bubble. What is the meaning of this bubble? If anything, we’re just in a lag. There’s a lot of AI, some of it works.” “Go back to the battlefield context: everybody in the world assumed this would not work. But now it does work. Now the question is, ‘How can I get it to work for my country?’” “Palantir barely has a sales force. In fact, it seems to be getting smaller and smaller every time I go see them.”

It's time to make AI Agents useful. I'm thrilled to announce that the HyperWrite Agent Studio is now live! Just show it a task once by doing it yourself, and the AI can repeat it.

YC's Garry Tan explains why now is the time for young founders to go into hard tech: "With AI, everything is open. It's so much easier. You can do mechanical engineering, electrical engineering. If you don't understand it, you can [still] build it... We're in a new age."

"One thing that players and coaches mistake all the time is hard work and competitiveness. Working hard is something a lot of people do. But not everybody is wired to compete. You can force someone to work hard. You can't force someone to compete."
