Student-built Studley AI hits 2 million users

The rapid adoption of Studley AI—created outside the traditional venture capital ecosystem—raises urgent questions about whether established tech companies have lost their grip on defining what consumers actually want from artificial intelligence. With major AI firms still struggling to convert users into sustainable business models, the success of a student project suggests the market's hunger for AI applications may be far deeper than current players have realized.
