  1 | AI Startups in the GPT Era
  2 | ==========================
  3 | 
  4 | _**Unmaintained as of August 2023**. The market has entered its "try everything" phase, which is less interesting to catalog. Now we wait and see who wins._
  5 | 
  6 | What businesses are enabled by this new era[^0]?
  7 | 
  8 | It's clear that we have new tools at our disposal. What those tools are good
  9 | for, what business models can produce, scale, and capture value from them—much
 10 | less clear.
 11 | 
 12 | Good news! That's what startups are for. Here is a semi-curated list of **use
 13 | cases** explored by AI startups.
 14 | 
 15 | Editorial judgment has been applied to (try to) exclude `.ai` rebrands,
 16 | old-fashioned SaaS+ML, and so forth. It also omits robotics (unclear impact
 17 | IMO), biotech (outside my expertise), pure infrastructure (selling compute is
 18 | selling compute), and silicon (ditto). It mostly omits side projects, research
 19 | collectives, academic demos, etc. Focused on semi-actual businesses, e.g.,
 20 | applies a vague Wikipedia-style notability threshold and ignores most Product
 21 | Hunt MVPs. **Incomplete and subject to change.** File an issue if you want
 22 | something added or fixed.
