Vertical AI
Vertical AI describes AI products built for one industry, with the workflow, data and compliance requirements of that sector built in rather than left to the customer.
Why It Matters
Vertical products can charge more and are harder to displace than general tools, which is why much venture money has moved from horizontal assistants to sector-specific systems.
