AI is your Co-Founder
|
Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm. It's capabilities are way beyond what the average person knows about. It is smarter than the majority of humans already and is capable of doing things better and faster than we can. Plus it doesn't bitch about having to work or do things like all the softy humans out there that just like to bitch and complain. I hope you're not one of those. If you think AI is stupid and can't do basic things, you need to find the closest mirror and start yelling at it about how stupid the person in it really is. Getting the most out of Artificial Intelligence requires having ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE. AI is only going to give you what you ask for. It cannot read your mind (yet). You need to be ultra specific and give it as much context as possible about what you want it to do. Your AI needs to know what persona to take on, the objectives you are trying to accomplish, and the tools and strategies you want it to execute on. Example: Today you are my cracked developer co-founder. You are building a web app that allows users to build customized workout plans based on all of their shared health data and objectives they are trying to achieve. If you just tell it to build me a workout plan app, you're gonna get complete shit. As you should. Stupid prompts to AI deserve stupid results. Again, AI is not the problem. You just need to learn how to use it properly. In our case, we want to use AI to help us build a personal business. From idea generation to revenue generation. This will make building your business much faster and a lot less painful. Your AI cofounder will be able to guide you every step of the way. Here's a good example prompt for having generate ideas based on your interests, skills, and resources. The trick is knowing what you want and what you don't want and knowing what you can and can't do. Example Prompting for personal business ideation: Step 1 - Give it a persona. Tell it who it is, what it's job is, and what it's objectives are. Step 2 - Tell it your skills and interests. If you have a basic business idea already, run with that. Step 3 - Tell it your limitations. Low money, low time availability, online business or offline business, solo business, large startup, can't write code, etc. Be specific. Step 4 - Ask for 5-10 business ideas based on the information provided. Execute prompt. Step 5 - If you find one you're interested in, ask it to diver deeper on said business idea and how it could be built within the constraints you have provided. Step 6 - Iterate on the idea. Ask questions about getting a step by step DETAILED plan to execute on for building that business. Step 7 - Start building This is a very basic example of what to do to get a business idea formed and a plan for building it. I have used this framework several times and have already launched one business this way with another larger business in the works. Using AI used to be an advantage when it comes to building successful businesses. Now it's a baseline requirement. Without it you're starting at a disadvantage. I personally use Grok for everything. It works better for me than any of the others that I've used. That doesn't mean you have to use it. Feel free to use whatever AI feels best for you. I use Grok's Projects functionality so that I can keep the files and context all within there so it keeps track of what we're trying to accomplish and all the data and context I gave it. It's great for keeping things separated and focused on your objectives. If you already have a business idea and just don't know how to get started, AI can help you with that. Tell it your idea in as much details as possible and ask it for a detailed plan on how to get started building it. If you're struggling with AI and not getting what you want, let me know. I can help get you going in the right direction. -John |
