Greg Isenberg shared this post on linkedin today saying everyone is now a startup founder. There are tools everywhere that allow a person or small team to compete like only big companies could before. It's exactly what I've been feeling but not everyone wants to put their hands in the guts of LLMs and roll their own and you don't need to.
I haven't been through the list exhaustively but the thing I'd add is Perplexity. I dropped his post into Perplexity and asked it to give me the urls and descriptions of all the apps mentioned. Voila!
