The AI Product Opportunity Workshop

What founders should build — and what they shouldn't AI has dramatically lowered the cost of building software. Today, a small team can prototype an AI-powered product in days. But that creates a new problem: Just because you can build it doesn't mean you should. Generic AI features are becoming commodities. Foundation models are improving rapidly. And the biggest AI companies can turn yesterday's startup opportunity into tomorrow's platform feature. So where should founders actually focus? Join Streamlogic during TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 for an interactive workshop designed to help founders identify the AI product opportunities that are genuinely worth pursuing. We'll work through a practical framework to answer: Is this a real customer problem? Does AI create meaningful leverage? Should this be an AI feature, workflow or entire product? Will customers actually pay for the improvement? Can a small team build it? What happens if OpenAI, Anthropic or Google ships something similar? Where can real defensibility come from? Can the economics work? How do you get from idea → prototype → first customers? During the workshop, you'll evaluate an AI product opportunity across: Customer painIs the problem important enough to solve? AI leverageDoes AI fundamentally change what's possible? Product valueDoes the customer get a meaningfully better outcome? FeasibilityCan you build it with today's technology? DefensibilityWhat remains valuable when foundation models improve? DistributionCan you actually reach the customers who need it? EconomicsCan the business make money? We'll then turn the strongest opportunity into a practical 90-day roadmap. Bring an AI product idea you're considering — even if it's still rough. We'll help you pressure-test it. Who should attend: founders, startup operators, product leaders, technical co-founders, early-stage investors and anyone exploring what to build in the AI era.
