Article in The New Stack by Eric Newcomer
Startups in the AI world gathered at the AI Agent Conference this week in New York are scrambling to carve out a niche to avoid being overshadowed by industry leaders.
“And it’s not even just startups, but for example what Claude has done to Figma and Canva,” Omer Trajman, founder of AskFora, told The New Stack during the conference, held at a hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
AI is moving really quickly, he added: “Startups [founders] are trying to figure out, ‘Where can I innovate where I’m not going to get trampled on by one of the models.”
At around 3,000, this year’s conference is about ten times last year’s size, said Trajman, one of the organizers.
“We think the next wave of technology is going to feel different, so we’re building companies around roles.” Peter Day, General Partner of investment firm super{set} told The New Stack.
“We want to build technology that absorbs tasks from people. AI is going to know what their priorities are, know all their things to be done, and start removing these tasks rather than giving them more things to do,” he added.
