Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

I think the second thing that starts to become important is distribution.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

It's going to be harder and harder to stand out.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

You have to be hyper, hyper viral in order to do that.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

So existing distribution, I think, may start to benefit people.

And I think the third thing is, what is the insight that you have, the really specific take that speaks to something about the world that doesn't currently exist, which is what building anything is, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

You don't build something that's already there.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And the interesting thing is that all of those, many of those things correlate to one thing, which is customers, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

Because customers can be a source of data.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

They can be a source of insight.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

They express what their problems are.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And they are also your distribution angle.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

So one idea I'm noodling with is the importance of that customer centricity.

And hopefully, you know, within the premium members of Exponential View over the year, you'll start to see the fruits of some of that.

So when baking is trivial,

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

The question is, what is still hard?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

What is still valuable in that context?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

So you can think back to the economist's framework, which is you look for the complement.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My outlook for 2026: orchestration, the human edge and the AI bubble

And one of the ways I now think about this and within this anchor is the idea of orchestration.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

If you are not

building something directly yourself and it really feels to me that certainly for the class of code that we might have written and certainly within anthropic right the these these incredible developers of the class of code they are writing well you don't have to do that anymore so what are you doing and and the answer is that we are we're orchestrating um and as any
