Introducing the Gen AI Market Map!🌎 We’ve decided to map out this emerging frontier, thanks to all the contributions and feedback we’ve received. This space is moving quickly – this map is a living document, so keep the suggestions coming! Who else should we include?

This map is still far from complete & far from perfect. We had the difficult task of filtering through a long list of amazing companies and narrowing it down to this set. I'm sure I made mistakes along the way. If there's something I overlooked, please DM me!

We've tried to keep this map high signal:noise and only included apps where generative AI (defined as LLMs or other unsupervised learning + generative) is core to the product experience. We also couldn't fit every single image or copy generation app.

These apps provide an interesting glimpse into what the future may hold. Once you see a machine produce complex functioning code or brilliant images, it’s hard to imagine a future where machines don’t play a fundamental role in how we work and create.

We are entering a new era of human-machine co-creation. If we allow ourselves to dream, then it’s easy to imagine a future where Generative AI is deeply embedded in how we work, create and play. 👽🤠 Excited to share our musings on the space here: sequoiacap.com/article/genera

Design - from interiors/architecture to software to physical products - is up for reinvention. Moodboarding, inspiration, iteration should become drastically faster and better. Less time wasted pushing pixels or organizing artifacts manually. is a nice example here.

Prediction: As AI changes many professions, the human craft will be become more highly valued. As the cost of essentials go down, we'll pay a premium for the story behind a well-crafted object, the human touch, the love that went into it.

We've updated the timeline to reflect more recent conversations with very smart people. In all likelihood, this Gen AI future is coming faster than we originally wrote. Keep the feedback coming! 🦾
