Episode notes

The speaker is amazed by the extensive AI capabilities available, which encompass an end-to-end workflow starting from initial questions to customer interviews and creating a product roadmap. The speaker inquires about the architecture and development of the AI models used in the workflow, expressing interest in understanding the intricate processes behind it. Despite lacking a formal computer science background, they have leveraged chat GPT to revolutionize their coding abilities, generating more lines of code within a year and a half than ever before. The speaker indicates that most of the workflow was prototyped and developed with chat GPT, showcasing the platform's transformative impact on their coding practices. They are currently working on automating the process further to enable seamless interactions with AI co-pilots for customers, transitioning from manual work to more efficient automated systems.

Nicholas Thorne is building Squarespace for the AI age. It’s called Audos, and it’s an AI chatbot to help any entrepreneur go from idea to:

- Pitch deck

- Working website

- Custom GPT

- User interviews with real customers

All in just a few minutes. And he did it using ChatGPTapp. It’s AI all the way down—and it’s one of the most impressive AI businesses I’ve ever seen.

Nicholas is a general partner at Prehype, an incubator that launched Barkbox and Ro Health. It’s also where I started Every, so it was great to come full circle.

Nicholas’s job at Prehype is to launch new companies. He’s taken everything he’s learned running an incubator and used it to help entrepreneurs start businesses at scale—with AI.

As we talk, Nicholas walks me through the interactions of Audos’s chatbot with a user live on the show.

Nicholas tells me that he used ChatGPT to prototype most of Audos’s features—despite being non-technical himself. He shares exactly how he did this by showing me how he’s using AI to create a new feature for the product.
