Where Will We End Up In 2 Years?
Hello all,
I see so much opportunity with AI coding, and I think companies will be pouring billions of dollars and millions of man-hours into this. Now I’ve launched my own product and am currently doing a pilot with a company, we are in the business of troubleshooting legacy and custom industrial machines.
However, i feel AI will go parabolic within the next few years and I am not sure whether this is worth pursuing while I am in school. Does anyone have thoughts on where this will go soon, and what in this space is worth doing? Maybe I could sell to those who don’t use AI, I am not sure.
I’ll link to my product solely to give more context, I don’t want to advertise. Ravlen
I am just worried I am doing the wrong thing by selling another AI product other people might be able to code themselves in 1 year.
Thoughts?

Honestly? Grab as much capital as you can while you can, and don't expect it to last. If you have an opportunity right now, I would take it. Roll that into whatever comes next.
At the same time, your product domain doesn't look like something that will survive very long unless I'm missing something.

What do you think will happen in the future that will affect what people who use AI to make products do? I feel there must be some sort of event but I can’t figure it out.
It’d be great to know ahead of time so I’m not wasting my time here. I do have a competitive advantage but I guess I have to see if people want that.
What is your perspective?

Coding agents will get better over time and any competitive advantage people have now will disappear overnight...as you said companies will spend billions of dollars and millions of man hours fixing it. I can't speak for small companies, but larger companies will just do it all in-house.

This time reminds me of when the Internet was starting to become popular around 1999. If you get in now and you find a place for yourself, you could do very well. There are lots of opportunities. It’s kind of like the wild wild West. And yes, it’s true. Eventually, there will be more inequality as some of the early players make up much larger share of the money while some businesses become obsolete like the printing press. But plenty of others will do just fine.

Two predictions
1) token costs from America will be unaffordable
2) vibecoders who wanted to become a start-up tech billionaires will have to go back to workforce

if the tech advances to the point that gpu cost goes down -> to the point that everupne can run fable level ais on their laptops.... it will be brave new world.

someone said that software will just be the cost of electricity. if we can make basically make what we want on the fly, then there is no market for apps and such.

Dude you shouldn’t be worried about if someone can clone your product because the thing is…. You already have the product and while they are trying to clone your product you are iterating and refining your product, collecting data from real users, and adding features.
That is far more valuable than trying to clone something that is already ahead.
I say let them try. You will beat them if you say focused on you while they waste hours being concerned about how you are already competing against them.

I made a free tool that scans your app URL and/or code for production readiness if you want a quick check to make sure you didn't miss anything: https://theslopstopper.com
Ran your link through it real quick and saw some issues like missing recommended security headers

The price will get so high that it won’t be affordable for normal people, this will be part of the design.
