That is lower than I expected. There are just a handful of companies that create llms. They are all more ir less similar. So all automation is in using them, which is prompt engineering if you see that way.
The bigger question is, this is the same story with apps on mobile phones. Apple and google could easily replicate your app if they wanted to and they did too. That danger is much higher with these ai startups. The llms are already there in terms of functionality, all the creators figured out the value is in vertical integration and all of them are doing it. From that sense all these startups are just showing them what to build. Even perplexity and cursor are in danger.
