Develop a plug-and-play AI recommendation engine that enables small creator platforms (like Gumroad) or indie developers to offer sophisticated content discovery features, traditionally only available to large tech companies. This democratizes recommendation capabilities.
Advancements in AI (specifically Transformer models) make complex recommendation systems accessible and affordable, requiring far fewer engineers and allowing indie platforms to compete with tech giants.

in practicality is that a startup like gumroad or really an indie developer can now compete with YouTube on YouTube recommendations which four years ago or even two years ago would not have been the case right basically gumroad could not have really entered the discovery we had to kind of Outsource it to Twitter and Facebook and you and you know all these other services because there's just no way that a tiny company could do recommendations at scale... now I see the problem and I'm like actually yeah I plan a tweet tomorrow that we we want to hire one ml engineer who to basically build recommendations for government like I don't think it'll take more than one person.
