Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Kirill Zubovsky (https://x.com/kirillzubovsky) on an episode that will totally change how you think about building a business online.
We dive deep into why directories are making a huge comeback as "the hottest thing" and how AI is making them easier than ever to build and monetize. Kirill walks us through his incredibly fast, AI-augmented development process at QED.AM, demonstrating how he built a live local services directory for plumbers using tools like Grok for brainstorming, Appify for data scraping, and Cursor for website creation.
We also explore groundbreaking concepts like AI SEO (AISCO)—the future of getting your website recommended by AI models—and agentic workflows where multiple AIs collaborate on projects. Kirill shares his insights on automating everything from writing to video content, revealing how you can ship projects weekly with minimal human intervention.
