Yes this! The observation that being specific versus general in the problems you want to solve is a better start-up plan is true for all startups ever, not just ones that use LLMs to solve them. Anecdotal/personal startup experiences support this strongly and I read enough on here to know that I am not alone…


What's the balance between being specific in a way that's positive and allows you to solve good problems, and not getting pigeonhold and not being able to pivot? I wonder if companies who pivot are the norm or if you just here of the most popular cases.
