Today on the podcast, we're talking about Stack Overflow, which is essentially recreating itself into an AI data provider.

I think the reason I want to cover this is because I think we're going to see this exact same trend played out with a ton of different online companies that are struggling with, you know, lower web views, lower usage after Chat Chubit and a lot of these other AI tools came out that

will answer questions for you. Stack Overflow is one that has been reported on extensively and seen

a dramatic drop in usage. But you can also talk about Wikipedia. You can talk about Chegg. You can

talk about a lot of different companies that would, you know, do kind of

questions and answers in specific niche areas. The AI models came in, scraped their whole website,

have all of that baked into their models now, and now the original companies are suffering because

no one really is using them. So we're going to get into the future of some of these

forum type websites and specifically the deal that Stack Overflow has done how it's similar

to other players. And more on the podcast. Before we do, I just wanted to mention if you want to try

any of the AI models that I talk about on the show, I'd love for you to try out my startup,

which is called AIbox.com. You get access to the top 40 different AI models, Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Deepseek, everything, image models, audio models like 11 labs, all for 20 bucks a month in one place on one platform. So if you don't want to have to get a new subscription every time you want to test out a new AI tool, go check out AIbox.ai. There is a link in the description. All right, let's talk about

Stack Overflow. I think this all came out at Microsoft's Ignite Conference. So Stack Overflow

came out and showed a whole bunch of new products that they were going to try to essentially use to

position themselves as a really

useful part of the enterprise AI stack, right? Like every enterprise needs to have a license to this

new stack overflow tool. This is kind of a new take for the company. Stack overflow definitely

struggled after chat GPT came out.

There's a number of articles that just said their web traffic went down significantly, right?

This is traditionally a website where developers would go on and ask coding questions.

I'd say, hey, look, I'm running into this issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this bug in my code?
