Are you looking to validate a market idea? If so, are you thinking of more of a consumer use case? You mentioned Cursor, so it sound like you're maybe thinking more enterprise, but embedded ads are basically not a thing in the enterprise. Most solutions offer freemium mostly as a loss-leader, but this isn't AI specific IMO.

You're right, embedded ads don’t work in enterprise, and freemium often serves as a loss-leader there. We're looking to validate the market, possibly for consumer use cases, while testing if freemium can drive early adoption or loyalty. Do you think it has potential in consumer AI, or is premium-only the better approach?
