LLMs make all sorts of classification problems vastly easier and cheaper to solve.

Of course, that isn't a "transformative AI product", just a regular old product that improves your boring old business metrics. Nothing to base a hype cycle on, sadly.






Agree 100%.

We built a very niche business around data extraction & classification of a particular type of documents. We did not have access to a lot of sample data. Traditional ML/AI failed spectacularly.

LLMs have made this super easy and the product is very successful thanks to it. Customers love it. It is definitely transformative for them.
