AI demands company reinvention

In this German‑language commentary, the speaker argues that merely tacking AI features onto an existing marketing page or product is insufficient. True AI adoption requires a fundamental re‑thinking of the business and its mission. He outlines three strategic options: (1) retrofit the current product with AI using existing assets, (2) build a brand‑new, AI‑native venture that pursues the same mission from scratch, or (3) sell the existing company and start a new generation elsewhere. The decision, he stresses, is not a simple yes/no answer but depends on the specific product, the value of legacy assets, and the founder’s commitment to the mission. If reflection shows that the legacy constraints outweigh benefits, the recommendation is to find a buyer and launch a fresh AI‑native effort.
