One of my students asked me:

“Which is the best area/s for Gen AI start-ups?”

This is not an easy question – mainly due to the dynamic nature of AI, but here are two reference points.

The first is a Generative AI Tools Landscape from DataCamp. This gives both the categories and the subcategories for focus areas in Gen AI. One could argue that is is a list of Gen AI tools (and hence not applications) – but still its a good list

The second reference point is CB insights below which shows that a majority of the investment is going to AI assistants – as an application category –  which I would also broadly agree.

In any case, this is a rapidly moving space – so we need to watch this space!
