Embrace Multimodality and Minimize Effort
The future interface between consumers and AI lies in multimodal interactions, merging chat capabilities with visual interfaces that enhance conversational nuances. As AI systems develop greater agency to perform tasks autonomously, they will resemble human assistants more closely. User engagement depends on how intuitive and time-saving these tools are, supporting a natural tendency for humans to seek ways to reduce effort. Additionally, the adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT in academic environments highlights their utility, whereas broader adoption remains limited due to perceived complexity. Startups must pursue bolder innovations in AI, as traditional lean methods focus excessively on attaining product-market fit, potentially stifling ambition and groundbreaking advancements.
