QUICK TAKE

Our AI predictions for 2024…

TechTO is excited to unveil its 2024 predictions, with a special focus on AI's transformative impact. This year, we anticipate significant developments in AI, particularly in generative AI, which is poised to redefine our work processes.

Key Trends to Watch:

1. Productivity Gains: AI applications, like Spellbook and Postilize, are revolutionizing task automation, either by integrating into existing workflows (Spellbook) or operating autonomously in the background (Postilize). This results in substantial time savings and efficiency boosts.

2. Revolutionized Workflows: A new breed of AI applications will emerge, radically altering traditional work methodologies. For instance, AI-driven recruitment tools will minimize human intervention, only seeking input when absolutely necessary.

3. Funding Dynamics: As AI becomes ubiquitous in startups, the premium on AI-focused valuations will diminish. However, investment in AI startups will remain strong.

Implications:

• Evolving Business Models: With AI's value tied to its output and efficiency, expect a shift in SAAS pricing models from usage-based (e.g., number of seats) to output-based (e.g., number of clients acquired).

• Leaner Teams: Startups will increasingly rely on AI, allowing them to scale rapidly with fewer employees per revenue dollar.
