Best New Non AI startups of the last decade?

AI is obviously taking over a huge chunk of the tech landscape as of late. But was thinking about over the last 10 years, what are some successful startups that have been made that aren't necessarily AI focused? Maybe they've added some AI tooling in recent years but the foundational aspects of the company aren't based on it. The most recent one I can think of that has hit mainstream success (though founded in 2016, so 9 years old haha) is probably Figma; any others y'all can think of?

If you could automate one annoying part of your workflow, what would it be?

We ve all got that one thing we still do manually that makes us groan every time - formatting copied text, renaming files, setting up tasks, writing the same message again and again. If you could wave a magic AI wand and automate just one repetitive thing, what would it be? Bonus if you ve actually hacked a solution for it, I love learning from clever automations. Also: I m working on something in this space, so I m not just asking for fun Following anyone who shares something cool or teaches me something new.

What are some subtle strategies you have found effective in getting people to use your apps?

Different for every app I'm sure, but I have a little one I discovered recently-- I made an app that people really loved once they started using it, but it was difficult to get anyone to sign up. I found that repeatedly showing off the product in a variety of contexts eventually triggered a sort of FOMO, and made people want to learn to use the app, and at that point they would get hooked. Does anyone else out there with a great marketing mind than I have similar strategies they've discovered over the years?
