AI Products Are Difficult Enough
There is a lot of uncertainty in protecting AI products:
Where is the moat? proprietary and open source models are available to everyone-including your competitors.
Platform Risk: large model providers may incorporate features that you are building
Late Mover Advantage: companies that come later in time may have advantages around larger context windows, reduced latency, and sometimes reduced compute requirements
Abstract Idea Rejections: software inventions often face higher scrutiny. Without a carefully crafted patent application, founders risk costly rejections that label their ideas as “abstract ideas.”
