Key Takeaways
The AI 'PE Playbook' involves acquiring traditional, labor-intensive businesses like property management or BPOs and using AI automation to drastically increase their profit margins.
The next generation of consumers will likely trust AI agents for high-stakes advice in finance and medicine more than human experts because AI can process a deeper breadth of data.
Successful AI productivity tools like Cursor succeed by creating a 'blended' experience that lives where users already spend their time rather than forcing them into a separate chat interface.
