Any business that solves a problem. The tech is always a commodity. The valuable parts are usually the data, the services offered, etc. and they have good distribution which makes their moat strong.

Any business that already has a network effect of services and the data that will thrive on even more AI content.

Meta (Instagram, Threads), Bloomberg, X, YouTube, Snap, Netflix, TikTok, Valve.

Coding agents are not designed to clone network effects nor can they.

Been thinking about this a lot myself.

My current answer: go vertical and messy.

Ex, Healthcare portals with ugly data. Compliance platforms with painful regulations. B2B tools with 6-month sales cycles.
