Lately I’ve been really interested in how AI can be used for simple real-world automation instead of just content generation. One thing I keep thinking about is how many small businesses still lose opportunities because basic follow-up systems either don’t exist or are overly complicated. Either they aren't configured correctly or are overpriced and business owners don't use it to its full potential. It seems like there’s a huge gap between powerful AI tools and practical day-to-day implementation for normal operators. Right now I’ve mostly been experimenting with workflows, automations, lead response systems, and ways AI can reduce repetitive tasks without making interactions feel robotic. Curious where things go over the next couple years because it feels like we’re still super early.

I spend _____ hours a week on tasks AI could do for me. Fill in the blank below. Just one number. That's it. I'll reply to every single one with the exact AI tool or prompt to fix it. @Shahana Kamalenthiran @Logan R @Sim Bains @David Winholtz @Tyler Woodcock — you're up first. Drop your number.

I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines by now. Anthropic just raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation. Their revenue went from $1 billion to $47 billion in basically no time. It’s crazy numbers, but let's look past the tech-bro hype and talk about what this actually means for our businesses. When a company raises that much cash to buy up datacenters, they aren’t trying to keep AI expensive. They’re doing the exact opposite. They are scaling up so they can completely crash the price of raw intelligence. The cost of high-level AI reasoning is about to plummet to basically zero. If you’re a solopreneur building smart workflows, this is incredible. But if you’re a traditional software company? You should probably be terrified. Think about all those random software tools you pay $50 to $150 a month for. Most of them are just pretty interfaces sitting on top of basic databases. They charge you a premium for features that a single, highly capable AI agent can now do for pennies. When the cost of intelligence hits zero, a massive chunk of the software we use every day becomes obsolete. We’re moving away from buying standard software apps and moving toward building actual "Agents as a Service." The winners next year aren't going to be the people hoarding a massive stack of software subscriptions. It’s going to be the operators who know how to stitch raw, cheap compute into custom digital employees that handle their operations for them. If your plan is to just keep buying off-the-shelf tools and connecting them with basic Zapier links, your business setup is going to feel very outdated, very fast. The barrier to entry to build massive, enterprise-grade systems is dropping to nothing. The only thing that matters now is knowing how to architect them. (Inside the Pro group, we’ve already stopped looking for new software to buy. We’re building native, agentic frameworks designed to take advantage of this new low-cost environment. I’m going to map out our exact architecture blueprint during our private deep dive next week so you can see how it works.)

We’re launching our first ever Weekly AI Hack: Q&A + Hot Seat starting Thursday, June 4th at 9AM EST. Every Thursday at 9AM EST, I’m going live for 1 hour to break down practical AI hacks that actually help you make more money, save time, create content faster, improve systems, and grow your business. This isn’t going to be one of those generic “AI news update” calls. Real business problems.Real live coaching.Real implementation. You’ll be able to ask questions live and we’ll also be doing hot seats where I help members solve actual problems in their business using AI, automation, sales systems, content strategy, operations, or whatever bottleneck you’re dealing with. If you’re serious about staying ahead over the next few years, you need to learn how to actually use AI properly instead of just watching everyone else talk about it online. Link to join:https://www.skool.com/live/MxsHDJBqFbl Mark it in your calendar and make sure you’re there next Thursday at 9AM EST. Also — if you want to be on the hot seat next week, comment below: - What business you’re in - What problem you want help solving I’ll pick a few people live.

I’m in a business where I constantly have to review and approve of screenshots. How can I use AI to make this process easier?
