LangChain founder Harrison Chase shared and endorsed a contrarian bet: the AI feed will be the dominant product form factor of 2027.
The core argument:
- Most people don't know what to prompt, and they won't prompt their way into complicated agentic workflows. Chat asks users for digital labor: figure out what AI can do, explain the task, provide context, repeat — too high a bar for billions of daily agent users.
- People already spend hours in feeds (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn). They know how to scroll, discover something useful, and act on it.
- The winning shape is an intelligent system that knows you and brings the next useful action: the email you need to answer, already drafted; the latest sales numbers, ready to explore.
Chase says he gave a similar take to his team last week and will soon share some basic experiments he vibe coded around the idea, calling it an area with lots to explore.
