Startups in areas like law or biotechnology can defend themselves from large AI incumbents by focusing on domain expertise and customer relations, according to Anthropic's CPO Mike Krieger.
Krieger advised startups to not just know the company they are selling to, but also the individuals within the company, and to have founders with domain knowledge.
He suggested that startups should explore new AI interfaces to differentiate themselves and avoid being categorized as simple AI model add-ons.
Krieger's insights aim to help startups survive the competitive age of AI and avoid being overshadowed by giants like OpenAI in the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
