You don’t need a new model. You need a reason for someone to say, “Yeah, let’s pilot that next week.”
The irony?
Most technical founders start with code and chase customers.
The ones with industry reach start with customers and never touch code until they've validated the need.

The real edge isn’t in prompt engineering, it’s in people engineering.
Who trusts you? Who picks up when you call?
If you’ve spent a decade in logistics, healthcare, insurance, you already have a company waiting to happen.
You know the pain points, the politics, and the budget holders.

That last 20% is why we are building devplan.com
We feed in your company’s product docs, code, and workflows so the AI isn’t guessing. The result: specs, user stories, and tasks that are specific to your product and codebase, not generic boilerplate. #buildinpublic

- New market pace: Top startups are hitting $100M in 3-6 months(!), not years. Quarterly planning cycles is the furthest you want to plan ahead.
Biggest theme? Nobody knows exactly where this is going, but the pace is accelerating.

- AI task speed matters: Users should know if this will be a 5–10 sec task or background task. Mixing them breaks the UX.
- Incumbents vs startups: Incumbents win on distribution and data; startups win on speed and iteration. Both need agility.

- AI tooling split: Two camps are forming - pro tools (precision, control) vs vibe tools (speed, accessibility). Think Figma vs Canva.
- How to not compete with OpenAI: If it’s on the path to AGI or solving a short-term gap in model capability, they’ll build it. The opportunity is in verticals.
