The a16z Show · What Makes a Consumer AI Product Stick? | Josh Elman · 19 Sep 2026 podcast

intriguing in the first moment when people actually adopt it, do they really use it and stop doing other things?

Do they spread the word about it?

And then do they stick long term?

I mean, the the first thing is actually thinking it's never been easier to get consumers' attention.

There are so many channels that we're paying attention to.

You know, things that rise up on TikTok or Instagram reels or YouTube go viral very, very quickly because people get excited about something new.

So the idea of having something that if as long as it's so compelling, people want to check it out.

I've seen people grow really, really fast just by getting in front of people.

What's harder, I think, is to your plan.

Getting me not just to try something, but to actually stick.

It has to be such a good product doing that one thing really well out of the box that I either stop doing something else or I turn more behaviors over to it.

And we have a lot that we already have in our digital life.

And so and we already have a lot that we have in our real lives.

But even, you know, I used to say there's so many things that can move from real life to digital life.

And COVID again sort of showed me what that saturation point is.

Now as a product, you have to figure out some new wedge into somebody's digital life if you're a digital product.

And then becoming so good that it becomes a habit and that you can pull other people in.

You don't just have to get that one person.

You have to get more and more and more people.
