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.
