No one cares if your app is AI powered

literally no one cares that your app is "ai-powered" people pay for products to save time, get paid, escape reality or feel something.

Greg Eisenberg nails it: no one pays for “AI.” They pay for results. Too many startups lead with “we use AI” like it’s a magic spell. Spoiler: users only care if it saves time, makes money, or makes them feel something.

Why it works

  • Customers buy outcomes, not features
  • “AI” is an ingredient, not the dish
  • Clear value beats fancy tech every time
  • Position around benefit, not buzzword

Examples

  • Grammarly sells “write better,” not “AI grammar checking”
  • Midjourney markets “create stunning art”
  • Notion AI: “finish your work faster”
  • Jasper: “write your marketing copy 10x faster”
    All benefits, no AI fluff.
