AI Summary

Summary of AI Business Model Video

Introduction

  • The video discusses a new AI business model predicted to create millionaires or billionaires by 2025, potentially surpassing the Software as a Service (SaaS) market.
  • The model is called Agents as a Service (AaaS), which automates processes without manpower.
  • The creator, Arseny, has experience in building AI solutions and has developed a popular AI agent framework on GitHub.
  • Arseny is relocating to Dubai, hence the change in content frequency.

The New Opportunity: Agents as a Service (AaaS)

  • AaaS is a shift from traditional SaaS due to the rise of affordable and smart Large Language Models (LLMs).
  • AI agents can interact with software as naturally as with humans, without the need for a browser.
  • AaaS is more powerful and scalable than SaaS because it automates entire processes.
  • Building AI agents is easier than traditional software as they directly work with databases without complex APIs or user interfaces.

Market Potential

  • The AaaS market is still in its early stages, with only $1.2 billion spent by enterprises in 2024, but it’s growing rapidly.

Vertical vs. Horizontal AI Agents

  • Vertical agents are niche and perform specific roles or functions, while horizontal agents are adaptable to any role or function.
  • Vertical agents are pre-trained on general processes, making them faster to deploy but harder to customize.
  • Horizontal agents require more time and effort to train but offer higher customization and ROI potential.
  • Most businesses prefer vertical agents for their ease of use and quick ROI.

Real-World Examples of Vertical Agents

  • 11x: An AI SDR and sales rep agent automating the sales process.
  • Carmen: An agent for construction project managers.
  • Normi: An agent for regulatory compliance teams.
  • Devon: A development agent working in Slack.

Building a Vertical Agent

  • Focus on collecting valuable internal data for training and fine-tuning.
  • Industry-specific expertise is crucial to understand customer SOPs.
  • Resources can be personal time and effort, funding, or accelerator programs.

Methods to Build Vertical AI Agents

  • Using a framework saves time but requires some development experience.
  • Leveraging a platform offers scalability but can be costly.
  • Developing a custom-coded solution provides full control but requires significant technical expertise.

Pricing Models for AI Agents

  • Licensing: Clients pay a setup fee or subscription, easy to pitch but may not reflect value generated.
  • Usage-based: Charges based on token or message consumption, scalable but can be expensive.
  • Outcome-based: Charges per result, suitable for SMBs.
  • Hybrid: Combines multiple pricing strategies, offers benefits but complicates cost estimation.

Roadmap to Leverage AaaS Opportunity

  1. Find your niche based on industry knowledge or insights.
  2. Identify a suitable problem for an AI agent to solve.
  3. Sell the solution before building it to finance development.
  4. Build an MVP tailored to the first client.
  5. Productize the agent by identifying constant components and customizable templates.
  6. Evaluate agent performance to improve and outperform competition.
  7. Scale the solution by increasing marketing efforts and potentially hiring more people.
