🤖AI Revolution: Transforming Software Development, SaaS Pricing, and Marketing Strategies
In the wake of new USA taxation to goods from all over the world (yap, we follow that as well) last 2 weeks were packed with AI news across industries...and nope we\re not talking about Ghibli trend.
Are you into Ghibli? Think it’s awesome? What about copyright implications? Worried about those? No. Then why not allow PirateBay to work?
AI is shaking things up in software development, making coding faster and easier. For example, JPMorgan Chase saw its software engineers become 20% more efficient with AI coding helpers. Plus, AI is switching up SaaS pricing—think less "pay per person" and more "pay for what you use" or "pay for what you get."
It's also a game-changer for SEO and marketing, helping businesses fine-tune content, predict what people will search for, and make everything feel more personal to users.
Happy reading.
