just got out of an AI panel during tech week here in seattle
tl;dr the crypto and ai-native products being built here on farcaster are going to outcompete legacy companies
so many CTOs talking about how engineers need to use more AI but they’re barely thinking about how AI improves their product. everyone found the same use case of data summarization and they were shocked to learn their clients never understood their product
and everyone’s just scared of money/crypto
zapier was a fascinating exception, and interesting that they’re approaching the problem opposite of bankr: zapier has all the tool-actions and is connecting ai to that. bankr is ai-native and building out all their tools
also chatted a bit about clanker- ai, social, and crypto
- people hear crypto and immediately think its fake or a scam
- no one understands stables (“but how do I know it’s a dollar”)
- people discount social capital (and at a networking panel event!)
- put all this together and they’re befuddled by clanker. until you tell them about the projects that have launched and funded through it. then it clicks
