AI

“When AI comes into the mix though, now an automation gets so much more valuable, right? Because your automation can be Infinitely smarter than anything you could do previously with, you know, scripts and stuff like that. So that has dramatically increased the …”

“And they're not defensive because it's the AI telling you. It's not your manager telling you where you're like, okay, is this going to bet my job? This is the AI saying like, make a left turn or right turn. And you're like, okay, totally makes sense. I'm not e…”

“Get the script to where I felt really good about it, and then at the last point, I would say, given what we did in this session to improve the prompt, output the next version of the prompt. And so now I've done this about 20 or 30 times, and so now I have a th…”

“We're all using AI to do everything from coding to writing to editing to design to marketing, all that stuff. And if you're not doing it with AI first, you're kind of weird which I think is the reverse of how things are in pretty much every other company.”

“Well, I mean, my, one thing I would say just specifically to the truism you just said, is I really just think it is, like, Bullshit. And like, basically every executive is like on one hand being like, how can I use AI in my company? On the other hand is saying…”

“To that I say, basically, if you have a free or near free junior employee and you can't, and you have unlimited versions of this, you could spin up infinite numbers of these near free junior employees. If you can't find a way to generate leverage from that, th…”

“Because every time AI changes, some new model's gonna launch, and then the same people who you did work for a year ago are gonna like, ah, shit, we need to do more work here, right?”

“And one of the things I've realized working around engineers now is engineers are living in the future. Like they are seeing the greatest leverage of AI relative to all areas of knowledge work.”

“Yes, you do not need to create millions of pages for every single question. You need to generally answer the question... It's grouping and theming them. And the AI is indeed smart enough to just find the answer. So you don't need it explicitly verbatim exact m…”

“One to four, which is high volume, low value content will get automated. And everything above that five to 10 will need experts enabled by AI. I can say safe to say that with AI now it's one to seven or one to eight, and we keep getting better and better.”

“I would say for anyone looking to use AI to start a company to displace what was traditionally done very manually by humans, first, see what they're doing really understand it then, two, do it yourself. As you bring on your first customers. So do the work your…”

“This is the other place where AI is really exciting, is it's not just helpful as a tool inside your workflows. It's also really helpful for building workflows, because building workflows is kind of hard. Like, not everyone thinks in systems, thinks in structur…”

“AI allows you to put brains in your business in places that was really hard to put brains in the past. It was very manual, very expensive, and mostly, especially for small business, you're just like, I'm just not going to do it.”

“I have found that AI is an exceptionally good coach. It is infinitely patient. It is neutral. It just observes what it sees and it tells you what it thinks it has observed.”

“It's an entirely different thing to build a product for other people to use it, like, you know, the, you know, with sort of some sort of symbols of quality and consistency, right? So again, you actually mentioned this, right? You go in, you do it, and eventual…”

“The typical way that SaaS-type businesses, like software-style businesses, were built, scaled, and sold in the past 10 years was not going to be the same formula that was going to work in this new age because AI requires a ton more professional services, almos…”

“In the last year, people are now sharpening up their budgets. They're sharpening their pencils, and they're like, okay, we know AI is effective. We know it's a hundred percent going to be transformative. How? Like, what are the specific workflows, outcomes, RO…”

“So I try to trust AI more than my own vibe sometimes.”

“I'm such love with this note taking app because I just didn't think to create it. There's so many note taking apps. And suddenly I said, I'm just going to do it. And within 15 minutes I had my ideal note. Notepad.”

“I think maybe in like a year it'll be able to do that. But right now you still got to kind of approach it like a programmer”

“The notion of abstraction layers, I think are at risk from AI. So what do I mean by that? Whereas I previously like use a SAS tool that does a certain thing to achieve a goal. Now I just asked the AI to build it from scratch. And it's like, I'm not gonna repla…”

“What is AI, you know, allow anyone with agency can go and do something. That's still a very small percentage of the population. It's still not most people. It's not everyone. It's not even most people. It's like a subset similar to who could do it before, you …”

“It was way too early. And frankly, I still don't think it's a solved. I still don't think that AI has kind of solved that. And I still do all my support by hand, although I am building out something to kind of Help with that automatically.”

“We've considered, and I say we, cause like I have a group of people I work with now considered, should we go and buy a company and then transform it with AI? But I mean, it's scale, right? Is there something really big that you should work with because they al…”

“I think it's going to persist or some subset of software persist. Obviously some will get eaten away by AI, but if something works and it's already been battle tested for security and a bunch of other stuff, and it integrates with a bunch of things. If it's ch…”

“First cold email is something that like works less and less because people are flooded with it with AI.”

“Humans will be the best at doing that because the AI is, the training model is always in the past, right? So they know what worked pre-AI a lot of the time versus what works right now is different.”
