Thin applications that solve the limitations of other software systems have been around forever. Things like antivirus or web browsers were all once unbundled, and in SaaS, everyone tries to make systems like Salesforce not quite so hard to use. AI has exacerbated this problem because for most of the last two years, AI-driven features just didn't exist in the underlying product. The challenge with "thin wrapper" products is that they are not truly innovative. Real innovation means you need to re-think the entire process, the data, and the outputs. If you don't, you're just one product management meeting away from becoming a part of the system you sit on top of. https://lnkd.in/gmkNuSna
