You can basically apply my startup method:
(I used it for most of my 24 projects)

1. Build b2b tool for yourself & be your own customer.

2. Share publicly how you use it with great details.

3. Produce educational content around your topic with your own examples. People will start following you and ask for advice.

4. Offer early-stage founders a bundle: You + Your Tool. (I gave my users a free SEO audit and marketing help in the early days of ListingBott, SeoBot, and Index Rusher).

5. Repeat 2-4 until you get to 10-50 clients.

6. Now that you have enough happy early adopters, they will spread the word, and you’ll have organic growth.

7. There are two potential failure points here:

  • You can’t really satisfy yourself when using your own product. Iterate until satisfied.
  • you don’t know enough about the topic to give valuable advice to your early adopters. So, learn and practice more.

P.S. I didn't mention SEO, Directories, and other marketing channels because I've covered them in my other posts. If interested, browse my "highlights".

So…this is wild.

In five seconds, you can create a fully linked wikipedia page on any topic in the entire universe.

@perplexity_ai just dropped a new feature to Pro users called “Perplexity Pages”.

Type in a topic, it automatically creates a webpage for it, with links and sources, you can publish it, share the link around, other people can access it, and other people can ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS to the page. View count and followup count are public.

Bit strange that these models are trained on wikipedia though…

Here’s the one I made, check it out:

GPT-4 just surpassed adult human performance at THEORY OF MIND tasks (basically, mind reading)

And this is just GPT-4! Imagine GPT-5... and, if we're still here to see it, GPT-6.

Soon, AIs will think we're as slow as plants. PLANTS.

And… um… most people don't know this, but we still have almost NO IDEA what's going on in their minds?

....and they're getting smarter MUCH faster than we're learning to see what's in their heads?

...and we're whizzing by every fire alarm we have?

Do you feel... good... about our ability to stay in control of this species forever, when they're 1000x smarter than us?

...when they soon outnumber us 100000 to 1 (because it costs ~$0 to make a copy)?

...when 2 of the 3 most cited AI scientists of all time think AIs may be sentient? And might rebel and slaughter us all? Within 4 YEARS?

Do you feel... good... about the fact that humanity is currently allocating near zero resources to this problem?
