Your software moat is dead and AI drank it like a milkshake
by Brian Pitts and Hayley Brooks | at Minnebar 19
The competitive edge your software once held? It’s gone. AI isn’t just knocking on the door—it’s storming the castle. In this talk, we’ll unpack how AI is rapidly commoditizing traditional software advantages, why your once-defensible product features aren’t safe anymore, and what builders and founders need to do to survive (and thrive) in this new era. We’ll explore real-world examples, strategies for building enduring value, and how to turn this existential threat into your next big opportunity.
