Almost every startup is a wrapper of some sort, and has been for a while. The reason a startup can startup is because it has some baked in competency by using new and underutilized tools. In the dot com boom, that was the internet itself.
Now it's AI. Only after doing this for 20+ years do I really appreciate that the arduous process and product winnowing that happens over time is the bulk of the value (and the moat, when none other exists).

- max002 11mo agoCant help myself and compare to frameworks, libraries and oop... cant we built so fast because of them? I think of wrapper more as a very thin layer around. Thin layer is easy to reproduce. I do not question that a smart collection of wrappers can do great product. Its all about idea :) However its if ones idea is based purely on wrappers there's really no moat, nothing stopping somebody else to copy it within a moment
