For product and engineering teams, building a competitive moat is one of the most critical aspects of your work. But in the age of AI, that moat can evaporate overnight.

When AI upends your product roadmap, you might realize that you need to start from scratch.

Vivun's engineering team faced this exact challenge last year. They knew they needed to build a new AI product to replace their existing platform, but also had to maintain commitments to their customer base to maintain existing revenue. The company's co-founder and CTO, John Bruce, shares lessons and recommendations in this article.

It used to be that 30% of architectural work is asking the right questions, and the other 70% was industry experience and knowledge. Now, AI can provide that other 70%, so we're left with a new equation:

Before: 30% asking right questions + 70% accumulated knowledge = Good architecture
Now: 30% asking right questions + AI-delivered knowledge + Human judgment = Exceptional architecture

According to Andrew Filev from Zencoder, this isn't about AI replacing architects, but rather completing them.

"The architects who will thrive aren’t those with the most memorized patterns or the deepest technical knowledge. They’re the ones who ask the best questions, who know which threads to pull, who can synthesize AI-delivered insights with human judgment and experience," he said.

I spent decades mastering software architecture, only to discover that 70% of my hard-won expertise could now be delivered by AI in seconds.
