На первый взгляд AI-native звучит как очередной красивый ярлык для компаний, где всем выдали ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor и пару внутренних ботов. Но если смотреть не на инструменты, а на то, как реально работает компания, картина становится интереснее.Оказывается, значительная часть нашей работы — это не создание продукта и даже не принятие решений.
