Short answer: David Petrou says modernizing existing software and greenfield projects fit best. He calls React bloated and slow for this era and says agents can build bespoke front ends with less third-party code.

Jordan Metzner [14:32]: Okay. I gotcha. And I think, yeah, as you mentioned, like the prosumer market. Is there any kind of verticals where you think kind of these or like types of businesses where it's kind of an optimal use case?
David Petrou [14:42]: Yeah. I mean, the there's a lot of things that seem to come up. One is just modernizing existing software. So things that just need to be upgraded and brought into cloud or clunky pieces of code that you want a better front end. What's very interesting about the space that we're in right now, again, getting back to my point before about how software development is going to change dramatically with these tools, is that the types of SDKs and libraries that we've had in the past don't necessarily make sense today. Take something like front end development, like React programming. React's great if you're a person and a human. It also is incredibly bloated and can be slow. Now an agent that cuts through all of these layers can modernize, front ends and modernize different experiences in a very bespoke personalized way that is faster, has a better user experience, less bloat, and requires less third party code. So it's this type of rethinking the entire software development life cycle and the software development stack that we're doing at Wheelie.
David Petrou [16:05]: So I would say if you are a company willing to experiment with either modernizing some old code or you have a greenfield project and you want to experience how can you maximally use agentic coding without the baggage of any prior dependencies that you have, then Wheelie, I would say, would be a great place to start.
Narrator [16:29]: Every company knows they need AI. Almost none know where to start. We do. Ryz Labs works inside your org to identify real use cases and ship them end to end. Not innovation theater.
