1. Full-stack AI Companies - instead of making AI agents for other companies, create competitors to those companies and "hire" AI agents for yourself.
2. Designer-organized Companies - I see this as UI becoming a competitive advantage over similar AI wrappers.
3. Voice AI - working with voice is interesting, but it seems all previous attempts like Siri, OpenAI voice mode, etc. have failed.
4. AI for Scientific Advancement - tools for scientific research.
5. AI Personal Assistant - the most anticipated area for me personally, but I think it’s just a super bloody ocean. Every time I work on my assistant, I convince myself that in a year or two, giants like OpenAI will simply push it out of the market, but YC thinks otherwise.
6. Healthcare AI - everything is pretty clear here.
7. AI Personal Tutor for Everyone - an even more obvious direction. It’s clear that education has already changed with AI - it will only get bigger from here.
8. Software Tools To Make Robots - shovels for building robots, this is interesting.
9. AI Residential Security - home security.
10. Internal Agent Builder - shovels for building agents.
11. AI Research Labs.
12. AI for Personal Finance.
