Plaid 前 CTO 关掉年入近百万美元的 AI 税务产品,转型做了 Town

Jean-Denis Greze 曾任 Plaid CTO,他的 AI 税务产品第一年带来近 100 万美元收入,第二年预计 250 万到 300 万美元,但他仍决定关停,理由是在 AI 时代现有大公司可以用同样的技术更快服务自己的客户。转型后的产品 Town 是一个基于邮件和日历工作的 AI 助手,Ben Horowitz 称它改变了他的生活。访谈还讨论了 Town 与 OpenAI、Anthropic 的竞争关系,以及为什么 forward deployed engineer 模式会随 AI 变强而失效。
