• •Runs locally on MacBook - no internet required for 'world's intelligence in your pocket'
• •Training requires massive compute, but inference can run on consumer hardware
• •Enables offline AI for construction sites, basements, planes without connectivity
• •Privacy benefits: data stays on device, not sent to external servers
• •Mobile apps can embed models directly, eliminating API calls to OpenAI

Aaron Levie from Box argues AI agents are no longer competing in the software TAM but targeting the entire white-collar labor force. The playbook: deep context engineering for specific verticals plus seamless UX integration into existing workflows.

• •Total addressable market shifts from software budgets to entire labor force salaries
• •Vertical-specific platforms will win by doing everything for one industry seamlessly
• •Big corporations lack technical capability to implement AI - need solutions providers
• •Service business opportunity: consultants who orchestrate AI tools for automation
• •Software becoming deflationary while targeting much larger labor cost budgets
