A bit of inspiration most weekdays for building YOUR Platform.

What is the role of AI in your platform?

Cliff Brake September 16, 2024 #ai

We hear much today about how AI is going to do our jobs better than us.

AI is powerful and has access to a lot of information and does a lot of things humans can't do.

It is really great at writing shell scripts, boilerplate in programs, figuring out how to use an API, summarizing public information on the Internet, etc.

But these tasks are not the differentiator.

The real value is going deep.

Information found only in books, which AI does not have access to.

Experience found only in people and encoded in platforms.

AI in a product can be useful for extracting information from YOUR data.

General AI tools are platforms in themselves, but probably not YOUR Platform, and probably not the creator of the primary value of YOUR Platform.

YOUR Platform is for extracting and leveraging the deep -- the value people need.
