Summary
In this episode, Jacob sits down with Peter Deng, General Partner at Felicis and former Product Leader at OpenAI, Facebook, and Uber. Peter shares his insider perspective on building ChatGPT Enterprise in just seven weeks and leading voice mode development at OpenAI. The conversation covers everything from why traditional SaaS pricing models are broken for AI products to how evals became the new product specs, the "AI under your fingernails" test for founding teams, and why current agents are massively overhyped. They also explore how consumer AI will fragment across multiple winners rather than consolidate into a single super app, the coming integration between ChatGPT and apps like Uber, and why voice AI will unlock entirely new categories of applications. Plus, insights on the changing dynamics between foundation models and startups, and what it really takes to build defensible AI companies. It's a comprehensive look at AI product strategy from someone who's been at the center of the industry's biggest breakthroughs.
