Apple just killed thousands of startups. What can you do?

Apple Intelligence is out, and now everyone's freaking out that their apps were killed in a single day by a conglomerate. Let's not be delusional; if you are building an OpenAI wrapper with absolutely no added value except its UI, it is bound to happen that sooner or later, someone will make a better version of it, and it won't even be hard.

Thanks, Kabir! I completely agree. It seems like a lot of AI startups are just rebranding existing technology. I'm definitely interested in seeing more focus on Human-First Design (HFD) in the future.

Well, it's like Apple pulled a startup purge, huh? Time to sprinkle some uniqueness into your tech concoction; add that secret sauce to stay ahead of the innovation game!

Tough situation, but there are still opportunities to stand out. Focus on building apps that add unique value beyond just a UI wrapper. Some ideas: 1) Integrate multiple LLMs and let users compare outputs side-by-side. 2) Specialize in niche domains like coding, creative writing, task automation etc and train your models for those specific use cases. 3) Provide a superior UX with features like voice input, image generation, and easy sharing/export of results. Don't give up - keep iterating and differentiating!

It was bound to happen eventually. Apple has the resources to build superior versions of many apps. My advice: find a niche and add unique value beyond just a nice UI. Go deeper than a generic AI assistant - maybe focus on a specific industry or use case, and build custom models and features tailored for that. Survive by doing what Apple won't. It won't be easy, but that's the reality now.
