AI Consulting Ideas: Y Combinator Podcast
Byjack
Major takeaways from video:
- 50% of YC focused on AI, but not because they focus on AI, but because they focus on smart good founders, and many smart people are focusing on AI
- Tarpits are things that seem really exciting for a lot of founders, but actually isn’t that great…might be hard to solve the real problem
- Example tarpits for AI: copilot, chat interfaces
- Use UX and software, and instead of chat interface, add in LLMs in background
- Boring is often good
- Example of boring: AI that is able to search government contracts and apply for relevant ones
- If someone doesn’t want to buy your AI product, try to compete with the market itself
- For example: if you develop a product for a industry and they won’t buy it, see if you can build your own company in that industry and see if you can beat them
- I think this is KEY for consulting for big ideas like I want to do (solve their biggest issue) I need to think of ideas that would run them out of business if I made a company enhanced with AI
- Specific is important: don’t do a catchall, include a lot of business logic
- Prompting and GPT wrappers is the future: SAAS is basically a MySQL wrapper
- AI security is the future
UNIT THREE: Planning (day 4)
Byjack
Art Challenge
Create a beautiful website and business card that will inspire magic and creativity in a way that I don’t have to explain to people what I mean create it for my younger self
Creating it like a gift for all my future clients
Business card is a gift and does not need to be similar to my website
Website is hogwarts, the business card is the invitation
Business cards will be trading cards:
-paintbrush
-pen
-writers block
-plot armor
-chiruscuru
Website will start as a powerpoint story -> website layouts
Worlds are waiting to be created
Villian imagined, dragons born, heroes conceived
AI Challenge
My way to get into the industry is simple. I need to learn node.js, react.js and maybe AWS in order to have a foundation to create whatever app that I want to.
Once I have those three or so elements, all manner of apps are possible
Learning Time: Young Founders and Opensource AI Ideas
Byjack
I’ve been feeling extremely behind in AI and entrepreneurship and I’ve been feeling a desire to catch up.
But at the same time, I don’t want to get too overwhelmed and manic about my learning process and want to take it one step at a time.
Here is a catchup on the latest videos I’ve watched:
Workpost 30: Refocus
Byjack
My mind feels wild
Like a disordered pair of weeds
Blowing in the wind
They seek home
Somewhere to rest their aching knots
And yet
I cannot find any purchase
The loose threads of my mind struggle
To connect into anything cohesive
Today I was feeling confused about a question:
Why do I no longer feel any motivation to do coaching? Is it because I’m scared to propose a $20,000 product? Am I scared to start a community?
And so I went for a walk. On my walk, I determined that it was because I desire to focus more than anything. Currently, I am focusing on posting for 50 days on LinkedIn and it’s taking a lot of energy. I need to be able to have fewer things on my plate.
However, when I sat down to write this journal. I realized that I’ve lost my way in these posts. I no longer do the hard work to grow and articulate how I am feeling. When I did, my poem revealed to me that I feel extremely lost and scattered in my mind. I’ve forgotten the helpful intentions I use to set myself into the mode of preparing my day:
- You are in my house
- Take your time, be patient
- Be ok with silence
- Take risks
- My house is a place where anything is possible
- Connection theory + flow theory
When I immerse myself in these intentions, I feel the distinct taste of possibility coming back to me and my world is opened wide enough to do the planning that I want to do in these posts.
Today I want to continue the work of yesterday and I want to focus on three things:
- AI project
- Linkedin post process
- To do list
LLM Prompting Guide (Prompt Engineering)
Byjack
Main parts of a prompt:
- task
- context
- persona
- exemplars
- tone
- format
*The most important might be exemplars, I feel like this probably the best way to give people and bots and idea of what you have in your mind.
Workpost 56: Stagnating
Byjack
I feel like I’m stagnating in all areas of life.
I feel frustration as aching in my chest cavity and stomach.
I am helpless wound coming up. I am overwhelmed. I feel hopeless. I feel undermotivated. I am lost.
I am tired.
I discovered some things yesterday. I realized that I was obsessed about getting the brand and vision correct, but my goals for my consulting project are actually much more simple:
- Get experience in creating funnels/pipelines that are simple, effective, easy to maintain
- Make my client’s company cooler and inspire the people within to do more
The brand and vision just serve as a tactical basis for getting the funnel right because having no vision leads to pretty shitty, unclear websites and ads and makes decision making much harder than it needs to be.
Another thing I recognize is that mission, vision, and values are all things that need to evolve and change as what I want becomes clearer and clearer.
