a16z’s Olivia Moore on the state of consumer AI

What changed

I wrote this week about the bleak economics of consumer AI — but where some see a crisis, others see an opportunity. Olivia Moore covers consumer AI as a partner at Andreessen Horowitz — and on Monday, she released a report on the top 100 consumer AI apps. ChatGPT is still the biggest player by a mile, but smaller players like Suno and ElevenLabs are showing real staying power.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
