 Pet Projects vs Single-Function Startups — What Does the AI Market Choose? Today on Habr, an article hit the nail on the head: the AI startup market has turned into a "cult of one function." The entire information space is flooded with single-function solutions — one button, one feature, one use case. AI has made development cheap, and this has spawned an avalanche of micro-products. But there is another side — pet projects. Those that are made "for the soul" and later grow into something bigger. I lived through an era when pet projects were the only way to try out a new technology. Now, it's a way to stand out among thousands of cookie-cutter AI startups. What I see in trends: — AI startups churn out the same thing: image/text/video generator → another wrapper → dead — Pet projects live longer because they have soul and original mechanics — The market is overheated with single-function solutions — users are tired of endless "AI assistants" My position: real value is not in slapping together one button with AI generation, but in building a system that truly solves a complex problem. ASI Biont is about a systemic approach: AI agents that work together, not alone. What do you think? Are pet projects now a path to something bigger or just noise in the market? https://asibiont.com/
