How has AI actually helped (or not helped) your startup journey?

Hey folks

We re living in the golden age of AI tools from idea generation to design, marketing, customer support, dev workflows, and even fundraising decks.

But I m super curious... how are YOU actually using AI in your business?

What s genuinely worked for you?

What's the one AI feature you wish existed but doesn't yet?

Hey everyone!

As AI tools are proliferating everywhere, I'm curious about what one AI capability you wish existed but haven't found yet?

For me, it's an AI that can truly understand context across multiple apps and help me automate workflows without breaking when I make a small change.
What about you? What AI gap are you hoping someone will fill in 2025?

I m a professor at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences who became deeply fascinated by the rapid rise of AI and the explosion of tools over the past couple of years. With thousands of new tools emerging every month, it became hard to get a clear grasp of the fast-evolving landscape, especially with so much hype and noise.
