ai products aren’t live

one of the most interesting things about ai products today is that almost none of them are live.

there’s nothing running continuously, reacting to context as it changes.. maybe a scheduled digest here or a timer there, but that’s just pull dressed up as push.

everything is fundamentally a vending machine where you walk up, ask, get an answer, & then leave. getting this right is obviously tricky & the business model behind must fit to justify the burn but this is where really interesting application layer problems live rn.
