Episode notes
AI Lowers The Build Bar
- AI drastically lowers the activation barrier so bespoke, purpose-built tools can be created in minutes instead of weeks.\n- That lets creators improve existing products rapidly rather than chase novel but dubious new apps.
Improve, Don't Just Ship New Apps
- The revolutionary value of AI is speeding upkeep and improvement of existing products, not just launching new shiny apps.\n- Fixing many small paper-cuts in a product compounds into far greater value than a generic chat UI.

- Spend as much time on distribution and selling as you spend on coding your product.\n- Use AI to accelerate business tasks (audience, ads, viral hooks) as much as development work.
