Part 4/11:
Analyzing the software industry’s history can shed light on the rise of vertical AI. The shift from traditional desktop applications to cloud-based solutions catalyzed the SaaS boom, with the introduction of XML HTTP requests and Ajax enabling dynamic online applications. This transformation sparked innovations such as Google Maps and Gmail, creating a foundation for hundreds of successful SaaS unicorns.
A similar paradigm shift is underway with Large Language Models (LLMs) which hook into a new wave of software innovation, enabling applications that were previously inconceivable. As companies begin to grasp the implications and potential of LLMs, a path is being paved for vertical AI solutions to burgeon.
