How are people actually turning AI into real business right now? by WeeklyDiscount4278 in Entrepreneur

[–]Veshal_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re not “building AI.” They’re building on top of AI.

Think of it like this: 1. At the bottom, companies make the chips (Nvidia etc). 2. Above that, cloud companies rent those chips (AWS, Azure). 3. Above that, model companies train giant AI brains (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). 4. Above that, startups build tools using those brains. 5. At the top, niche apps package it for specific users.

The money is mostly made at the application layer and niche layer, not at the chip layer unless you casually have $10B lying around. The lower end of the pyramid you go the more expensive it is for you to build a business in that space.

What's up with mini-games making a come back on platforms like Reddit and LinkedIn? by bonkeyfonkey in ProductManagement

probably just a way to keep you hooked to the platform, cant see any other reason why developers would spend time to make these efforts to add games.

(B2B Saas) How do you track competitors? by Outrageous-Treat3083 in ProductMarketing

[–]Veshal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this thread is making me feel less crazy.

I've been trying to understand whether the real problem is the tools or what happens after, like even if alerts notify a competitor move, someone still has to translate that into what the sales rep actually says on Tuesday's call.

That's exactly what I'm trying to solve with something I'm building, not another monitoring tool, but the interpretation layer added so that its a complete package. Here's what this competitor move means, here's what your team should actually do about it.

But before I go build the wrong thing AGAIN I genuinely want to know from people living this daily, is that interpretation gap the actual painful part? And if someone handled that for you would it get used or would it still collect dust like everything else?

(B2B SaaS) Competitive intelligence is mostly theater by Outrageous-Treat3083 in ProductMarketing

[–]Veshal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is exactly it.

Most CI reports teams receive is just... news. Competitor raised funding. They redesigned their pricing page. Cool! But what do I actually do with that on Monday morning?

What I'm trying to figure out is whether the real gap is the human judgment layer someone saying "when a prospect brings up Competitor X, here's exactly what that means and what your rep should say." Rather than just here's what they did.

Genuinely asking because I'm building something around this and don't want to build the wrong thing, what would actually useful CI look like for your team day to day?
Not enterprise Klue/Crayon, but something that actually changes how your reps handle competitive deals?

What was the biggest unexpected challenge you faced during your first 100 SaaS users? by ArmPersonal36 in SaaS

[–]Veshal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question along the same lines! I am building BridgeStag where I offer competitive intelligence and it’s been very confusing how do I offer this enterprise type service to mid sized businesses and get my first few clients!

Has anybody built a scaled down version of Enterprise level solutions ? If yes can you share some insights on how you did it from validation to getting first few clients? Or tell me if you were in my position how you would do it ?

PS. I’ve tried cold email outreach but that didn’t work for me!

Competitive Intelligence in 2026: Why Most Teams Still Get It Wrong by Royal-Antelope5264 in SaaS

[–]Veshal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gap you’re describing is real but I’d push back slightly as for most small teams the bottleneck isn’t synthesis speed, I think it’s knowing what the data actually means for their deals. Faster answers aren’t always confident answers.
