One buzz word that I keep reading here is the "AI Wrapper Startups". What are some examples of these that you find interesting? Please add 1-2 lines to describe the use case.

Examples of AI wrapper startups

Last month, Krutrim AI had attained unicorn status for being the first indigenous LLM AI model of India. There was some hue and cry when it had distorted some historical concept of India. 

Today, the beta version was launched and upon pondering, it stated that it’s based of OpenAI’s LLM model…so they spent all this money & resources just a build a wrapper service. 

Frankly, this is just another scam & would lose credibility in a blink of an eye. Why do Indians lack innovation & just believe in simple copy pasting. 

Views are welcome.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Was thinking of starting up an ai wrapper product which would use llm and nlp to parse policy documents and alert governments. Any scope?

AI wrappers done?

Why India lags behind in AI

We’ll be able to move mountains once we stop obsessing with IITians. They work their asses off to get into IITs to get high paying jobs, it’s as simple as that. Train tier-2,3 college students who have nothing to lose. You’ll achieve 100x more optimal results with 100x less investment.

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

AI tools at your startup/workplace

Program Manager

The startup I work at, in all of its existence, it has never given half a shit about AI. 

Now that the company is looking to raise its series C, over the last 2 months, all of the employees have been asked to build AI products so that the founders can sell this lollipop to investors and get a massive round. 

Guess what? it's working!

We'll soon close the next round by selling random nonsense in the name of revolutionary AI technology.

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

What is wrong with people who pitch AI startups but they are really AI wrappers?

Software Developer

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.

Invideo, Hyperverge, who else?

Most companies are adding a small AI component to summarise some information and calling themselves AI powered platforms.

Any company really building a kickass AI product?

Director Product

There are multiple companies worldwide leading the forefront of AI, with inovative strides in GPTs, Multi Agent models, GANs etc. However, most Indian AI startups are not working on the cutting edge. Rather, most of them are building wrappers around GPT-4 for a consumer experience.

With the lack of any meaningful innovation within this space, is it unreasonable for Indian founders to raise on similar multiples as our counterparts in the west?

Because honestly? I can see a lot of "crypto-nerd" founders shilling the new oil called "AI" after their previous NFT/crypto/ICO-crap didn't float.

Product Manager

Which Indian startups are using GenAI in production at scale and for what ? 

This can be use cases like the whole CX function being replaced by GenAI (or reduced to a fraction), content marketing team reduced alot by using ChatGPT etc. or even engineering reduced.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have seen in several videos and blogs including MKDHB talks that AI is a product or feature. What's your thought on this?

Hey everyone! I’m tinkering with a few simple but powerful generative AI tool ideas, unfortunately I can’t code. A marketing and growth professional. I’m looking for someone to work with as a side project for an AI idea. We can brainstorm on the ideas and then see where it goes. If you steal the ideas and do it yourself, I really won’t be able to do anything about it honestly, but if we do it together the outcome will definitely be 100X better, this I can assure!

Most AI startups

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?

Any good Indian AI startups?

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks
