Box CEO Aaron Levie argues the trillion dollars of AI value sits in the applied layer — the last mile of getting the technology to actually work for lawyers, sales reps, life-sciences researchers and support teams. The poster adds: every pitch deck puts the value in the model, but the real money is in the boring part — someone sitting with a lawyer until the thing works. That work doesn't scale, which is exactly why it pays.
