In this episode, we dive into the "Future of AI: Perspectives for Startups 2025" report, unpacking why AI’s potential is still underhyped and how startups can ride its transformative wave. We explore the shift from building bigger models to solving real-world problems with AI agents that handle complex tasks and niche "last-mile" issues: think media, biotech, or SaaS reboots.

From dropping compute costs to the power of proprietary data, we reveal what’s fueling multimillion-dollar opportunities and where founders are stumbling. Whether it’s ditching generic solutions or rethinking pricing, we break down the signals pointing to massive wins or costly flops.

We dig deeper into how AI’s converging with Web3, robotics, and specialized hardware, opening doors to autonomous systems and seamless human-AI interactions. You’ll learn why “prompt and pray” is dead, how robust AI systems outshine basic models, and what experts like Elad Gil and Chamath Palihapitiya say about disrupting industries like education and drug discovery.

We’ll unpack the risks of chasing AGI hype and why niche focus trumps all. From revenue-boosting strategies to dodging middle-layer traps, this episode equips you with the insights to build smarter and scale faster in the AI age.

Whether you’re a founder, investor, or just chasing AI’s millions, this episode exposes the trends that could unlock your startup’s potential, or leave you behind.
