Definely's co-founders discovered that solving enterprise problems in legacy industries requires embedding real users with lived experience into product teams, ensuring technology serves established workflows rather than disrupting them. The AI companies that will survive the coming disillusionment focus on transparent, user-centric solutions requiring minimal behavioral change, not those with the most advanced models.
