Read moreFrequently Asked Questions about AI Insights
Is the services-as-software trend real?
Yes. Foundation Capital sizes the opportunity at $4.6 trillion. The agency model has been declining for years — AI accelerates the shift. Early movers have a significant advantage.
How should SMBs think about AI investment?
Start with tools costing less than a part-time employee ($50-200/month) targeting your highest-volume repetitive tasks. If an AI tool saves 5+ hours per week at $49/month, the ROI is clear.
Will AI replace my industry?
AI will restructure industries, not replace them. Every industry will have AI-augmented roles and AI-automated tasks. The winners will be professionals who use AI as leverage.
