The open frontier of AI?

The open frontier of AI? Software engineering got the head start. Code gen, debugging, refactoring, real progress.
Here's the thing: You can use those same software engineering AI tools in other areas.
Operations. Logistics. Commerce workflows. Supply chain. Content pipelines. Data cleanup nobody wants to touch.
Companies are drowning in manual work and duct-taped processes in these categories.
The same tools everyone's using to build coding copilots, Claude Code, agentic dev environments, API-first stacks are exactly what you use to go solve these problems.
Pick an ugly workflow. Build it. Ship a v1 with a human in the loop optimizing and guardrails. Improve it.
This is the open frontier of opportunity.
