Last week, I published my view that AI is far more likely to be a productivity revolution than an economic collapse. But what does this mean specifically for marketplaces? Many founders are asking: \u2022    Will LLMs capture discovery? \u2022    Will AI compress take rates? \u2022    Will traffic shift away from platforms? \u2022    How defensible are marketplaces in an AI-native world? In this upcoming episode, I break down: \u2022    Why most fears around AI disintermediating marketplaces are overstated. \u2022    Where AI does threaten marketplace margins. \u2022    The structural advantages marketplaces retain. \u2022    The immediate opportunities AI creates for liquidity, cross-border trade, and profitability. \u2022    What founders should do now. If you\u2019re building, investing in, or operating a marketplace, this episode is for you! ","author_name":"Playing With Unicorns","author_url":"https:\/\/fabricegrinda.com\/","html":"
