  • AI's Future: Product, Feature, or Both?
    Jeremy predicts AI will be both a product and a feature. He notes, "Outcome-based pricing may sound good but will only work if the customer has some sort of outcome-based budgeting." While giants like Nvidia and OpenAI lead now, Jeremy expects future growth from application companies solving industry-specific problems, similar to Salesforce's rise.
  • AI Agents Revolutionize Commerce: Efficiency and Cost Benefits
    Jeremy highlights that AI agents can perform repetitive tasks tirelessly, enhancing customer experiences and reducing costs. Companies can choose between building custom agents or using vendor-supplied frameworks like Salesforce. "Competition will drive down costs and boost innovation," says Jeremy, with more options emerging soon.
  • AI to Transform Software Development Teams, Says Observe Inc. CEO
    Jeremy predicts AI will change software development teams, but not overnight. "AI will elevate tasks, allowing developers to focus on complex issues." While AI will assist with documentation, task management, and bug filing, it won't replace developers. Instead, AI will enhance productivity and enable more ambitious projects.
