Ask HN: Is there any scope of building a non AI startup?

I run a small dev tool company. I was looking to start my next project. But it seems like there is no point of building dev tools now since nothing apart from AI is getting any traction.

Should I just swallow my interests and do something related to AI? Or do you think a subscription management API can be a useful product?

I think you’re asking the wrong question. Startups (and companies in general) exist to solve a need. AI is a tool that solves a set of problems. Ymif you can solve a wide population’s problems without AI, then do it.
