Someone just rebuilt the core Adobe creative suite with Claude and released it for free.
If a single engineer can duplicate decades of proprietary R&D over a weekend with AI, your code syntax is no longer your moat.
When the marginal cost of code collapses to zero, where does true defensibility live?
Swipe through this 16-slide strategic teardown to unpack:
👉 The 6 structural moats that remain untouchable by AI
👉 Why selling “results” beats selling “software subscriptions”

### The 6 Moats That Still Hold:
1. **Obsession with the Problem:** Finding the messy real-world edge cases AI prompts miss.
2. **Selling Finished Results:** Clients pay for business outcomes, not another dashboard seat.
3. **Operational Execution Data:** Proprietary workflow logs earned exclusively by doing the work.
4. **Enterprise Connections & Trust:** Compliance, MSAs, and executive accountability.
5. **Vibrant Community:** People stay for peer identity and belonging, not UI buttons.
6. **Owned Distribution:** Attention and audience access eat features for breakfast.
