Stanford Prof Chris Manning: Frontier AI Brings Surprisingly Little Enterprise Value
shangbinfeng · x · 2026-08-13
Stanford Professor Chris Manning points out that while recent AI breakthroughs in coding and math are astounding, the actual economic value advanced AI brings to most enterprises remains shockingly low.
To bridge this gap, startup Hone is focusing on re-organizing work around organizational outcomes rather than individual tasks. Hone builds AI that continuously creates, orchestrates, and improves agents and software to own outcomes over weeks and months. The team consists of early contributors from Cognition, OpenAI, and Ramp.
