Root Causes
Jasper AI (formerly Jarvis) was an AI writing assistant that reached $1.5B valuation by helping marketers generate content. When OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, Jasper's core value proposition was commoditized overnight. Anyone could generate marketing copy for free. Despite raising $143M and pivoting to enterprise, Jasper couldn't differentiate from free alternatives and saw revenue decline sharply through 2024-2025.
