An app like an AI resume customizer based on job description will quickly devolve into a million clones. Something with a network and a first-mover advantage would have some staying power even if people clone it. For example an app where you post a job description and it sets up an AI voice agent as a virtual employee ready to be onboarded. once you have thousands of of virtual employees with company email addresses and attending zoom meetings, it will be hard for clones to break into that vertical

Quality and low cost are the hardest things to clone. It's really not about features.

Ideally, you want a lot of clones, but all of them more expensive or inferior quality than you.

That's something that can beat any first-mover advantage.
