Beyond the Robots: Is Boring Software the Smart AI Play?
Let’s be honest, the artificial intelligence gold rush has felt a bit like a circus. We’ve been bombarded with tales of thinking machines and world-changing chatbots, but for the serious investor, it all feels a bit, well, speculative. I’ve always found that the real money is often made in the most unglamorous corners of the market. And right now, that corner looks an awful lot like enterprise software.

It signals a fundamental shift. This isn't about futuristic promises, it's about selling clever code to businesses that actually improves their bottom line, today.
