I just came across a similar post on the Y Combinator reddit. “Don’t let the AI be your product” - its crazy that so many companies rely heavily on other company ecosystems and make that their core product. I was saying on the other subreddit that its not only happened in the AI space but look at Meta and how things changed rapidly for companies that build core products around Whatsapp’s API.
But its a good lesson to build and innovate around systems and try ensure you have your own system that in the off-chance something bad happens, you still have something that people can use and want.
Hope you find your footing and pivot out of this. Make sure to move fast and judging from the number of upvotes, I think a lot of people are rooting for you! So good luck with everything.
If anyone is interested I can link an article I found about startups surviving with the new Open AI releases. Could be relevant.
