Episode description as stored
The a16z AI Apps team outlines how they are thinking about the AI application cycle and why they believe it represents the largest and fastest product shift in software to date. The conversation places AI in the context of prior platform waves, from PCs to cloud to mobile, and examines where adoption is already translating into real enterprise usage and revenue. They walk through three core investment themes: existing software categories becoming AI-native, new categories where software directly replaces labor, and applications built around proprietary data and closed-loop workflows. Using portfolio examples, the discussion shows how these models play out in practice and why defensibility, workflow ownership, and data moats matter more than novelty as AI applications scale.   Resources: Follow  Alex Rampell on X: https://twitter.com/arampell Follow Jen Kha on X: https://twitter.com/jkhamehl Follow David Haber on X: https://twitter.com/dhaber Follow Anish Acharya on X: https://twitter.com/illscience   Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!
