Copilots are more valuable than generation tools

AI-enabled editing, true copilots: Cursor, maybe playgroundai for images

AI-enabled generation, not reliable for editing: Replit Agent (for advanced editing), beautiful.ai , DALL-E

The value is picking a workflow and AI-copiloting more of it (writing code, designing a presentation, writing a report to share, organizing an event, sourcing and hiring talent, making introductions)

  1. Pick a sliver of the user’s workflow
  2. create an extremely strong generating + editing experience
  3. Then expand outward to copilot more of the workflow

The initial generation is a utility within the current paradigm An A to Z copilot changes the nature of the work being done and can capture value accordingly
