Jon Yongfook(@yongfook):A few months ago I had an idea for an AI video editing app. No timeline editor, just drop in your uncut video and let AI do the rest. But after mulling it over, it became obvious that soon this will be an everyday feature of frontier models, or it will just be a throwaway AI feature that any app can integrate (like voice to text). In the indie space we often talk about whether a company is a feature or a product. In the AI era, many startup ideas you might have are now just features. Don't try to turn a feature into a company.
