TRON Venture Capital, a top-tier crypto investment firm, partner Justine Moore posted on social media platform X on May 23, stating that a16z tested over a hundred AI products last year, and their team members selected their 43 favorite AI Apps at the end of the year, categorizing them into seven main categories: General Assistance, Get Work Done, Build An Audience, etc., to provide users with a reference.
However, it is worth noting that Moore supplemented that due to the earlier cutoff date of this statistic, it did not include OpenAI's recent Sora and Google DeepMind's Veo.
