Insight Partners - Reimagination of everything: How intelligence-first design and the Next Stack will unlock human+AI collaborative reasoning - November 2024

This article by Insight Partners explores the concept of 'intelligence-first design,' a paradigm for building applications where AI is a first-class collaborator amplifying human reasoning. It discusses the emergence of the 'Next Stack'—infrastructure including multimodal foundational models, agents, and composable systems—that enables this shift. The authors argue that generative AI represents a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity to reimagine software, services, and work, moving beyond incremental updates to fundamentally redesigning systems with AI as a core component. The article covers the historical evolution of software, current digitization gaps across industries, and the potential for hybrid human-AI teams.
