Examples of AI wrapper startups

Seeing this for a few weeks now. Noticed it when PG tweeted about how there are 100 ai startups in the batch and all are legit. That is none of then it’s phony or opportunistic. He also talked about how domain experts are building in AI and great founders. Then saw Garry Tan promoting the batch and retweeting others doing it. A couple of other partners talked about the companies they are excited about too. To me, this signals that yc isn’t getting the kind of interest they used to get and they have to promote the quality of the batch to be able to generate enough interest. For the first time in 10-15 years maybe. If they have to do it to ensure the companies are getting enough funding interest, what about startups without a brand name behind them. We will see more of these as we get close to the demo day. Most startups are just ai wrappers or agents. Not sure about the exact differentiation between them. Not clear from the descriptions or websites.

Hello GV, Tons of AI tools/GPT wrappers have come up in the last one year I am curious if you/your workplace actually pays for any of these tools? If yes can you please share these products & the use cases you use these tools for in comments below

Because every Santa-Banta startup has started to pitch AI wrappers to me over the last so many month.

There is a lot of buzz about AI apps but I wonder if existing startups are thinking deeply about changing business models because of AI or leveraging AI to automate/replace people in some functions?

I've been curious about whether there are any good Indian startups in the AI field that are not building "tools" like meeting summary or anything of that sort. But more like research based such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Midjourney, etc. They could be early stage or late stage, doesn't matter. Have you guys seen any around you with potential?

What would happen to all the AI startups that are raising massive rounds at insane valuations once OpenAI improves GPT-4 (some spicy rumours are going around) or comes up with GPT-5? Most of these "AI" startups are just a wrapper around these existing, capable LLMs. Better versions of these LLMs would start generalising more and doing those specific functions done by these startups much better.

Which is actually a wrapper on the Southern region AI product 😄
