Startups that adopted Co-Pilot as their development model are already doomed to lose to those that shifted to Auto-Pilot.
I can already hear the usual response:
“Ha, Shlomo… this isn’t possible yet, the AI isn’t there yet.”
If you get that message from your developers, or worse, from founders you’re considering investing in, run away as fast as you can.
Why am I so sure?
Because even a short, hands-on exposure to true AI Auto-Pilot mode is mind-blowing.
The challenge is not technical, it’s mental.
R&D leaders must rewire their mindset to let AI do everything autonomously.
No team member should:
o Write code manually
o Define architecture by themselves
o Draft specs
o Plan development cycles
o Test or deploy manually
--> Nada.
The startup that cracks this model, where AI is the doer, not the helper, will outperform every Co-Piloting startup still stuck in human-first workflows.
And yes… it is possible.
How do I know it?
I’m doing it! It was a challenge to find how, and it’s an ongoing challenge, as things evolve daily, but those who set this as their goal do it every day.
