Executive Summary
The current AI wave is a 'revolution in computation,' fundamentally different and larger than prior 'revolutions of communication' like the internet and cloud, unlocking a potential $10 trillion market in services.
The emergence of 'long-horizon' AI agents, capable of autonomously pursuing goals for hours, marks a major inflection point, representing a form of commercial AGI that can be dispatched to complete complex jobs.
The business model is shifting from 'software' to 'services,' where companies can hire scalable, low-cost AI agents (paid in tokens) to perform cognitive labor previously done by humans (paid in salary).
For startups, the key opportunity lies in the 'diffusion gap'—the space between the rapid creation of AI capabilities by foundation models and the slower adoption by enterprises.
Success requires focusing on customer-centric moats and creating intuitive 'affordance' for powerful but complex AI tools.
