Unpopular opinion: AI can't replace what I actually need right now

Don't get me wrong... AI is incredible. I use it daily.

It's helped me build systems, write copy, strategize launches, create content.

I have access to all the tools, all the best GPTs, all the prompts and frameworks.

But here's what AI can't do:

It can't look at ALL of my stuff...my offers, my community, my email sequences, my ad copy, my revenue streams, my launch calendar and say "here's the blind spot you're missing because I've been exactly where you are."

It can't see the blind spots I don't even know exist.

And before you say it can, hear me out....

It can't bring the pattern recognition or the nuanced feedback that only comes from someone who's actually built what I'm trying to build.

Who's made the mistakes I'm about to make.

Who can see the patterns I can't see because I'm too close to it.

I'm not lacking information. I'm not lacking tools. I'm not even lacking execution (honestly, I'm pretty good at taking action).

AI gives me information. But sometimes I don't need more information.

What I am lacking is perspective. The kind that only comes from human genius who's been where I am and can see what I can't see because I'm too deep in it.

And before you say "hire a coach"... if I'm being honest, I'm kind of over the group coaching model right now.

I see the value in masterminds and group calls, I do.

You get to hear other people's coaching, see what's working for them, build community.

But there comes a point where you're just like...

I don't want to wait my turn on a group call hoping my question gets answered in 10 minutes.

I don't want to give a quick snapshot or share my screen for 5 minutes and get surface-level feedback.

I want someone to actually DIG IN.

Look at my offers. Look at my positioning. Look at my content. Look at my numbers.

Look at what's working and what's not.

And tell me exactly what lever to pull next.

Not a 6-month coaching container.

Not a $15K mastermind.

Just... their eyes on my stuff. Their expertise applied to my specific situation.

1-2 hours of focused, intensive strategy where they tell me what THEY would do if this were their business.

I know everyone's obsessed with scaling and leveraging time right now. I get it. And I feel that too.

But I also feel like this obsession with group EVERYTHING has created a gap.

There's a pocket of entrepreneurs who are past the beginner basics, who have systems and offers and revenue, but who just need someone who's a few steps ahead to look at their entire ecosystem and say "here's what you're missing."

Not surface level. Not generic advice. Not *just* proximity. Not group coaching energy.

Just: Let me show you everything I've built.

Tell me what you see that I don't. Tell me what you'd do next that doesn't require a group call.

Maybe I'm alone in this. But I don't think I am.

Anyone else feeling this?

Anyone else craving this kind of specific, intensive, human-genius-applied-to-YOUR-stuff support?

Asking for a friend, because I can't find this anywhere without either a $20K price tag or committing to a long-term coaching program where I'm sitting on calls I don't want to be on waiting for my 10-min turn.

P.S. Not ranting, just genuinely curious if anyone else is feeling this too. 😅
