Why would you say that? - Capto Weekly #45

Last week’s newsletter shocked a number of you. Most because we ditched our humility, but notably a number of others because we shared our belief in the existence of an AI bubble.

“Why would an AI company say there’s a bubble?” - - Uhm, well yea, because it is and we basically have been saying so for almost a year now.

We don’t really care what price Anthropic’s stock IPOs at the end next week...

The bubble we’ve been referring to are the fancy demos by endless new vendors, influencer engagement bait, DIY projects that spread like a sickness, and obscene overspending by companies that are chasing it all.

The abundance of hyperlinks above is intentional because they are just the start of the receipts we have to match our claims...

Now our newsfeeds are catching up...

Companies are pulling back on AI, navigating a flood of errors and low-quality work. Budgets are being cut. And countless daily reports of AI spend struggling to return the productivity gains expected.

In summary, we at Capto are looking beyond the “bubble burst” - by continually doubling down on what we’ve seen work: Custom-built for unique processes, developed iteratively, using AI calls only when they’re needed, accurate and secure, that stay reliably in-production and producing measurable results.

When the bubble pops? Will your AI burst with it?
Talk to us about how to avoid.

• So then why not do it? Go ahead. We’ll wait. Praising candid talk on LinkedIn is a big part of what we created this section of our newsletter for. h/t Gabe Larsen

• Not enough material in the main section at top? A reward for those who made it all this way - even Anthropic’s own engineers are telling you not to build more agents. h/t Rujuta Singh
