How do application-layer products, such as Copy.ai, compare with model-layer companies like OpenAI?

If OpenAI wanted to launch their own copywriting app, they could, and then they could try to cut everyone else out and be like, "Oh, we're going to own the AI copywriting space." That is a possibility. I don't think that's what they're going to do. They have bigger ambitions. They're going for AGI.

It's our job at the application layer to make AGI useful. They want to build it, but once you build it, still having it create a business for you means you have to plug it into all the different tools and things that you need to do in order to run a business. There are other players out there like Adept that are kind of approaching it in a similar way, but they still are assuming that there's going to be an interface.

They’re imagining a world where you can describe the business, and then it'll just go to Chrome and open up tabs to go to Stripe, apply to Stripe Atlas, open a Ramp account, create a website, and so on.

We’re trying to tackle business AGI, because that's what we think is going to be the most valuable to the world. That's what speaks to Paul and I the most. That's where we are the most creative, and what we are passionate about, so if we can stick to this mission and do it for eight to 10 years, I think some massive things are going to come out of it.
