What it means
An AI Wrapper is a software product that is essentially a thin layer over a major model like GPT-4. It might provide a nice design, specific prompts, or convenient features, but the 'brain' is rented from a big AI lab.
Why it matters
Many new AI startups are 'wrappers'. While useful, they depend entirely on the underlying provider. Recognizing them helps users understand what they are actually paying for.
