Stop Bolting On AI. Start Building With It.
Most AI startups today follow a familiar pattern:
- Take an existing app.
- Add a chatbot.
- Call it “AI-powered.”
This is the bolt-on mentality — AI as frosting on the same old cake.
But real transformation doesn’t come from sprinkling in GPT-4. It comes from rethinking the entire workflow around what AI enables:
- What would this process look like if intelligence was ambient?
- What if the app proactively shaped the next best action?
- What if decisions didn’t require hunting for context?
AI-native tools don’t just answer questions—they change the nature of the work:
- They collapse complexity.
- They eliminate busywork entirely.
- They shift users from “doing” to “deciding”.
The difference is night and day.
One gives you a chatbot that rewrites your email. The other makes it so you never needed to write the email at all.
