All right, everyone, before we get into the episode, I have a quick announcement. So if you're hearing this, that means you're listening on a podcasting app, like Spotify. And this episode will be a lot better if you go and watch it on YouTube. And the reason being is we had a friend Greg Eisenberg on the pod and we asked him to use AI to come up with a business idea and implement it in only one hour.

And to put the pressure on, we actually had him screen share so we could see exactly what he was doing and it was mind blowing. And so if you're working out, if you're on a run, if you're on the train and you're listening to this via podcasting apps, it's fine. You can still listen and get a lot of value. But if you can go to our YouTube page, my first million and watch this.

And I think it'll make a lot more sense. All right. Enjoy the episode. I think I'm going to blow your mind today.

By the end of this episode, Sam, we're going to see me replace a developer, a sales person, a designer, a marketer, a researcher, a product manager with AI agents. Okay. I'm in. Are you going to tailor this to someone like me who's like a, in the end or thought?

I'm going to tailor this to anyone who is an idea person. So anyone who listens to your podcast, my first million or my podcast is going to have ideas podcast. Anyone who considers themselves an idea person, solo printer, someone who wants a side hustle, someone who wants a business to make money and is interested in trends and ideas. Okay.

I, I'm into this dude. Okay. So we're going to go through six steps. Uh, the first is how to find the right idea and trend.

The second is sketching out the idea. I'm going to talk about the tools I use. I'm also going to give away all the workflows so people can just copy them. We're going to scope out the MVP using a tool called Manis.

We're going to vibe code, uh, prototype using bolt.new. We're going to vibe, market the business and automate it using Lindy AI. And we're going to use a AI agent product manager using idea browser. Because I'm above the age of 30, I feel a little uncomfortable using the word vibe, but do we get a pass?

Can I say the V word? I don't know. Let's yeah. Well, for now, we can both say the V word, even though it's cringent as hell.

All right. I'll try it on. Let's get into it. All right.

So what's the first step? The first step is I'm assuming you don't have an idea. Okay. So let's go find an idea.

So every single day, uh, idea browser.com. This is actually, I created this for myself. Okay. So it basically uses, so every single day, a new idea comes with a trend.

So today's idea is to create an AI SEO agency and it gives you a name L M boost. And it basically says that there's 400 million people, uh, questioning chat, GPT, et cetera. So much to start an agency specializing in LLM large language model SEO. Did your methodology give you this idea for idea browser.com?

A hundred percent. This is basically productized Greg. And like I basically, I run a holding company as my day job and we're constantly incubating and investing in ideas. So we basically said, how can we have an unfair advantage using AI to find the latest trends and ideas?

All right. I'm into this, but there's a twist. So it says we're going to offer a free AI powered audit quiz that instantly shows businesses where they rank in AI searches. Most will be shopping don't exist.

And then we're going to sell premium optimization services to fix it. So for example, like Hampton, I don't know how much of your traffic's organic SEO. Let's say a thousand people a day from search. What people are noticing is that LLM search as a part of organic search is maybe now five or 10%.

Dude, we are just now getting people, we have gotten a bunch of people who have signed up and they found us via chat GPT. Right. So it would be cool if Hampton, for example, would show up more often. I agree.

You know, so this is like a good idea, right? And it gives you like an opportunity score, a problem score. And this uses all AI agents and you can go, you can go in depth and stuff like that. Like it tells you exactly what business model you should use, what your pricing should be, what are competing customers.

It really does all the work for you. You know, the go to market strategies. What is the target audience? It actually scrapes and goes through Facebook groups, YouTube channels like this, Reddit, and it basically it's almost like your AI co-founder in that sense.

One of the cool features is let's just say, you know, let there's a lot of ideas that are really good, but Sam, for example, you might not be the best person to go after this idea. So you can basically go through a founder fit score and say, I'm Sam. I'm the founder of Hampton. I specialize in community.

Is this a good idea for me? And then it uses AI to basically generate an assessment to see if we should actually go and do this idea. Okay. This is awesome.

And do you have a bunch of people and this is a product too. I didn't, I just signed up for it. Do you have a lot of customers for this? I haven't publicly posted about it.

Wow. All right. Yeah. This is awesome.

All right. So give me a six and a half out of 10. Yeah. So it's just your skill alignment.

I actually kind of savage. It's because your skill alignment is for on 10, which I don't disagree with. I agree with. Yeah.

So it just goes through this and it gives you some immediate actions to do what you should do. Okay. Maybe we should partner with an AI and SEO expert. You know, maybe you should launch a community driven platform for client engagement.

Anyway, the point of this is this is awesome. Yeah. And there's way, there's way more you can do. You can also, you know, it tells you exactly what your offer should be.

Uh, it gives you different frameworks. Like Alex, remote, he has the value equation, which I really like, this is going to be a huge product that you made. This is really cool. And it, and it's all, yeah, special to this.

And also as this AI assistant, like we can ask it, like, you know, what are the key risks of the business and you can have a full on like chat, GPT for ideas. There is a feature. And we can go to it maybe at the end of the time, where you upload your own idea and it generates a report based on all the data of like YouTube and Reddit and all of AI, basically. But step one is to use this website to get an idea.

That's good. One is you want it, you want it, you want to, you want to build an idea based on a trend, because it's easier. Yeah. So look, fine, you know, use something like idea for Asher.com to get an idea based on a trend and then go.

So that's step one. Hey, really quick. If you're enjoying this episode, the team at HubSpot, they actually went and summarized the entire thing. And so it's in a PDF.

That's really easy to read. So you can refer back to it. All you have to do is click that link below. But this thing is awesome.

I just proofread it and it walks you through Greg's entire five step system from idea to paying customers using nothing but free tools and AI prompts. So you should go and check it out. It's a very easy summarization of this entire episode. Again, the link is below.

All right. Now back to the show. OK, so I think ideas are important. I think that for a lot of people just starting out ideas are unimportant because it's like, just get into something and you'll figure it out.

But I think that if you have a proven track record of like, I execute, so execution or going forward is not a problem for me. And then if you have that personality, ideas are actually incredibly important. I talked to Kevin Ryan, who's a, I believe he's a billionaire, but he's founded MongoDB, which is a 35 or 50 billion dollar company business insider, a guild group, as well. He started all these amazing companies and he started to be his incubator and he told me that ideas are incredibly important.

And he was like, I get one good idea here and I want to make sure it's important and great because I go hard on that idea. And so I have to make sure that I'm going in the right direction. And so I actually have grown to become a believer. The ideas are actually really important to just not just execution if you have a pass of you move forward.

I think you're right. So that's step one. Step two is, OK, I kind of cheated in the sense that you do need a human being involved in this process. It's not 100% with AI.

So step two is you got to sketch out the idea. So I use a tool not affiliated by the way, what's your draw? Have you seen this? No, what is this?

Basically, like everything that as we're talking, I'm going to it. Yeah. Well, I wanted to give away like the stack. I'm going to give away the stack that I use.

So basically it's kind of like a big gem competitor. I think it's free to sign up. And I just wanted to sketch out what this quiz would look like. So because, you know, if you remember, the idea is we need to do two things.

We need that people are going to land on this website. It gave it idea as they gave us the name LMBOOS. We need to learn about the business. So for example, Hampton, you know, what's the URL, what type of customers you want?

Then we need to do research with agents and then we need to check that, you know, is Hampton coming up in chat? You see is Hampton coming up in in cloud is Hampton coming up in grok. And then we need to give it a score. So I just drew this out.

And the reason I drew this out is because I've noticed, and this is a tip for everyone listening, I noticed that when you go to an LLM, I use, I'm using Manus and I can talk about that and you give it an image like that, you're going to get better results. That's crazy. And how long did it take you to draw that up? Like seven minutes.

I hate drawing on computers. Yeah. The beauty about a deal drawn though, I will say is like it makes it for like bad drawers like you and I to just like make these boxes. So it's for us.

It's for us. The jam is also really good. OK, it's TL draw.com. TLDR.com.

Exactly. The next step is to scope out our minimal viable product. Right. So we need to figure out how we actually get to build this thing.

Right. There's so many question marks. And instead of going to a product manager or instead of trying to figuring out the self, you and I are lazy, right? We're just going to go and get AI to do this whole thing for us.

So Sam, have you ever heard of Manus? No, I'm on their website right now. It says Manus is a general AI agent that bridges minds and actions. It doesn't think it delivers results.

It excels at various tasks and work in life and getting everything done while you rest. All right. That sounds great to me. Yeah.

So it's very, you know, people might ask like, how is this different than chat GPT or or or or some of those? And it's almost like a chat GPT supercharged. So I'll go through my prongs, but basically it's almost like we're watching, you know, if people are saying or it literally goes and search the internet for you. And based on that, like learn stuff and then executes on the past.

So it's like having a hundred agents working for you. But doesn't open AI research do this to? Yeah, but not like first of all, I can watch it happen in real time and give it feedback, which is kind of cool. Well, sorry, opening I has operator to the right.

Yeah, this is like a supercharged version of operator. So while you think this is better than operator, I mean, I'll have to give it to school chair, which is it's Chinese. So like be careful. I mean, I'm not like putting, you know, my financial data and uploading it.

So do they like like put like PS like capitalism is horrible and like, you know, we're going to come and dominate you eventually. Totally. It's, you know, it's there's a subtle, subtle new answer that for sure in the vibe. So but I will say it's extremely good at for this use case.

So I'm going to go through the prompts and we're going to end by the end of this. Section, we're going to have a good idea of like what we're building and all the specs. And I just signed up for as we were talking, is it? It has all these like cool, like research data analysis, all these other like toggles that I couldn't use these.

Uh, do you, does this cost money or is this free free to use initially? They give you like a lot of these. They give you like a, they're like drug dealers, they gave you hooked. And then you have to buy it, you know, then you set to buy credits.

It's a credit system. All right. Okay. I have an account now.

Yeah. And by the way, this was invite only up until recently. So you're unfair advantage. like people listening to this, like get on this now before everyone finds out.

Well, I looked at their traffic. It looked like they went live in March because I had like zero traffic and then in March, they had 23 million site visits. It's insane. Yeah.

Okay. It's a thing. So have you heard of whisper flow? I love whisper flow.

Whisper flows is my favorite A actual. Okay. So I love whisper flow too. I use it on phone and or desktop.

So I literally just whisper flow, by the way, it's a, I think it might be free too. Maybe I paid $100. But basically I click a button on my computer and anywhere where I would normally be typing it transcribed what I'm saying. So I'm just talking all day instead of typing.

Exactly. That's what I did here. It's like, I basically did a prompt where it's like, I'm starting, you took the idea from idea of razzur. I uploaded the image and I'm like, I'm starting an agency for LMSEO.

I just basically explained what I'm doing. I'm not going to go through the full prompt. But the key here is when you're doing the initial prompt, don't forget to say, ask me any questions before you get started. So we have the right strategy for this.

I've noticed that by putting that in there, that small one, you know, one sentence, you're going to get better output. So you were talking to it and got the text and also you attached the image. Yeah. You should attach any, any images or documents that you think are relevant to whatever it is you're trying to do.

Understood. And then, uh, and then so the reply was, this is interesting. Here's a bunch of questions that I have to ask before we get started. Okay.

Yeah. So it, I mean, it asked the right questions. I would say like, who is the target audience for the quiz? What is the main goal for the person?

Uh, was the key differentiators between traditional SEO and LMSEO. So it asked these questions and then, you know, I use whisper flow. As you can see, like it's so casual. I'm using whisper flow just to respond.

Okay. Uh, wow. So, wow, it's coming up. It's, it's, it gets even crazier.

So, you know, I say things like the ultimate business goal to be given, to give them a benchmark for where they're ranking at LMS now. And then we provide a service for helping them level up their LMSEO, which was in services. So I'm basically giving some more information. Wait, would you, and would you ask it to critique the idea?

Oh, yeah. I do that all the time. So you'll be like, does this make sense or do you think it should be different? Like, can I just say it?

Like my goal is to scale to a hundred million revenue in 10 years. Dude, sometimes I'll take an idea from idea browser. I'll put it in and then, you know, ask it to critique it. And then through the conversation with Manus, I'm like, you know, I don't want to do this anymore.

And this is better. You think, because I do the same thing with OpenAI, but with my own company. So with OpenAI or chat, you can upload like my financials. I'll upload like a book that I like, like, for example, I could be like a warm buffet book and I'll be like, ask Warren, what would Warren say about this?

How would Warren solve these problems that I'm facing? Yeah, that's, that's a really good actually hack for using any of these LMS is like, pretend your XYZ person you look up to. What, how would, how would, um, would Warren Buffett start this? Why, why not?

Which John for his business? Why, why not? Yeah. Or sometimes I'll be like pretend that you're a BCG or McKinsey consultant and you're like cold hearted and all about operations.

Explain to me how that personality type would execute on this problem or whatever. Yeah, that's a good hack. People should definitely do that. Okay.

So, uh, manis is awesome, but you're saying that manis for what you're doing right now, this is better than chat GPT. Oh, yeah. It's, it's night and day. It's actually night and day.

Wow. Okay. So, so chat GPT is not going to do this, for example, like it's like, you know, we're clarifying some stuff. It literally creates a to do list for the project.

This is like literally like what a project manager, product manager would do. Uh, okay. This is insane. Right.

So phase one, research and planning, clarify quiz objectives, you know, phase two, question and prompt development, create detailed quiz questions, draft specific clear and actionable questions for each category, phase three, validation and finalization, validate questions and prompt with users. And then the delivery report and send quiz materials to user, provide the finalize quiz materials to the user. It's basically putting an entire project plan for what I'm doing with manis. Right now.

Wow. I think all of my employees need to know how to do all this. Yeah. Send this to everyone.

Send this to everyone. It's just going to make you a lot more productive. So what was the second question? So the first thing that you did was you explained the business and then what was going to ask you a bunch of questions to answer the questions and then what?

So we got the project plan and then it goes and gets to work. It's your product manager, your AI product manager. And it actually goes and creates the two things that we actually need. Cause remember, we're trying to product, we're trying to create like, essentially a SAS software to basically score how a company like Hampton is going to, you know, come out in a, uh, LLM in a chat TPT.

So we need two things. We need to, what are the questions that we need to ask the business and how do we test on the different LLMs and, and, and I don't know how to do that. So that's why we're going to, we asked Madison to do it and Madison figured it out for us. Holy shit.

So what you're looking at Sam is the quiz, detailed questions that we can make as like almost like a type form on our product. What's the name of our product? It's called L M boost. All right.

So you go to llmboost.com and right on the first page, you see a quiz and you're going to start taking that quiz. Yeah, we're going to, inside, we're going to, like, I'm going to actually show you how I buy, go to it in like four minutes and we're going to actually go through that product out there. Okay. How's your heart rate right now?

I feel like I'm taking notes and I'm like, I need everyone at my company to know exactly how to do this. And I'm like, do I hire a Greg? Like, how do I teach all of my, or am I like, do I just have to get this and I have to teach everyone, like, as my job is, as the boss, just to be like teaching people how to use AI, is that it? I don't think this is something that you can outsource.

Yeah. So then you're saying that I need to get good at this and then I need to teach people. I mean, unfortunately, wow. Okay.

The unfair advantage and the returns that you're going to get by understanding these tools is just worth it. Like, why would you want to outsource it? Well, because I'm not an expert in it, but I guess I have to come in expert. But how do you stay on top of all of this?

It's my job, you know, my job to stay on top of this stuff. I know. But tell me how did you know, man, this is awesome. Because I'm an nerd, dude.

I'm such a, such a cop out. Like, you play on Twitter all day. Are you in? Like, what are you doing?

I do have tweet notifications for like some creators that I like and that I'm, you know, following everything that's new, that's coming out. And I'm also what I say, I'm a nerd. I love playing with the tools, not just like, but you're just hearing this through word of mouth, word of mouth being just like just the trades. You're reading the trades.

Yeah, you're reading the trades, you know, it's the trades is that some, it's not a PC weekly anymore. It's a guy on Twitter. And then I would say like what I like about the podcast and you probably like this too, is that it's an opportunity to actually learn in public. So I'm just learning in public podcast.

All right. Um, well, this is cool. What? So we got these two quizzes and exactly, you know, how we can, yeah, we have that, uh, basically the quiz for the business and then we have the prompt testing for the LMS.

But when I went through it, I actually felt that this was too long. Like no one's going to answer a thousand questions. So I basically said, is there anyone to make the quiz shorter? It's huge quiz.

And then I also I downloaded a LLM SEO mini course from the vibe marketer.com. It's another, you know, whatever it's a course. And I just uploaded the content to make it even better because I was reading, I'm a nerd and I was reading this stuff. And I was like, I want to make sure that we have this course and all this content in here.

So I just basically, the point here is you can paste anything into your for contacts, PDFs, documents and something like that. This was a free course. This was a pay. I paid, well, it's a co-founder mind started this course.

Okay. So you got for free, but it's a paid course and, uh, is this the thing on school? Uh, it's a thing on school. Yeah.

Okay. Got it. So it's 150 bucks and you got some course and you put it in there. I should.

So it's like, thank you. And then it goes, I'm going to review the transcripts and refine the, uh, the prompts and the quiz questions. So then it goes, my plan and doesn't it sound like a human? My plan is to analyze the transcript you provided to extract key insights relevant to LMS, you know, and how business are found LMS and then it's going to work on the strategies to shorten, consolidate the quiz and then it's going to revise both the quiz questions and the prompt template.

It's like such a, it's, it's so pleasant dealing with an employee like this. All right. Yeah. It's going to be like, Hey, my grandma died.

I got to go to the funeral and Tampa. I'll be back in two weeks and then it's like going to take a 10 day vacation. Man is, take notifications. Oh, okay.

Cool. So it is a great employee. So it goes and does it for us. We've got the files to review and I want to give away one more tip on man.

So, or actually we're sitting in the island. So we talked about this in the beginning, you know, we're lazy, right? So how do we, I know what I want to do next now that I have a quiz. It's like, I want to go vibe code.

I want to build this product, but I need to know what is the best prompt. Yeah. To prompt in this case, I'm using bolt.new. And so the best thing you can do is actually ask a man is chat.

You can see what is the best prompt. So say, I say, can you create a prompt that I can give my to AI developer that I would use to generate this landing page with a multi step funnel that ask the LM questions, include all the necessary fields that I need to have and have a clean, modern design. By the way, this is another huge hack is to ask it the prompt that you should ask it. It might be the biggest hack of using LMS.

Like, well, is ask for the prompt. You will never be able to up prompt the person, the guy, you know, the software that sees all the prompts. So I also use Kubera. You know, Kubera.

Okay. You'd be, I use the product. I love Kubera. I'm not affiliated with that at all, but I know the founder and it's like a net worth tracker.

So it doesn't, it's just like mint or whatever. You could just track all your finances and they have an AI check of the integration. And then I was like, all right, what questions do you think I should ask you on happiness, on life strategy, whatever? Like, tell me some questions you think I should ask you.

And it gave me a list of all the questions that I should ask it. I never even thought of. And I started having a conversation with it. It was really amazing.

And so asking the LM what you should ask it is shockingly useful. Amen, brother. So we asked it. I'm going to go open it up just to show you what that prompt looks like.

It's a super long prompt. So it goes through the project goal. It's like develop a high converting landing page and integrate a multi step quiz funnel. And this is the prompt that you're going to give to bolt dot new, which is the thing that's going to make the website.

Correct. Yeah. Wow. So it's a really long prompt.

Yeah. Like really long, like obviously you and I would have never done this. Yeah, that would have taken a week. Like a term paper.

Look at this, dude. Yeah. Wow. Okay.

So thank you, man, us and the people's Republic of China. And we then move on to a Silicon Valley startup called bolt.new. And I will show you how I one prompted the website. So it is bolt dot new.

The same thing as cursor, lovable and all this other stuff. There's both on you, lovable, cursor and I mean, there's a lot of them now. Windsurf is another one that just I think got acquired for three billion. I don't know if you saw that.

Yeah, I did. That was the same thing. Yeah, it's like a similar thing. So cursor and windsurf are for more technical people.

Lovable and bold are for non-textable people who want to ship software. And why do you prefer this one over lovable? You know, I started using this first. I find it.

I find the outputs to be really good, but use whatever works for you. Understood. Okay. So you typed in or you copied that huge thing in there and then I get this webpage.

Okay. And it says you're caught by the way, I'm not like creating copy here, right? You know, I'm not doing anything. I literally one shot at it and says, your customers are searching for you on LMs, but you're not there.

Sad face. Our free quiz helps you understand your visibility and chat to you to be perplexity and other AI models and what to do about it. Take the free LMSCO quiz now. Oh my God.

Okay. So click in your words, a guy, not bad. This is more than not bad. Your customers.

Yeah. I mean, that's it's the best. Sam, you're the human to the best, but you know, the close second. But I like how it says there's even a there's even a testimonial from a CEO of a major internet company.

You want to know something? I would leave that in there. Why? I would just leave it as we're seeing here's the testimonial.

We're seeing a much higher conversion rate from perspective users coming from organic LMM traffic versus organic search from the CEO of a major internet company. I think the CEO of a major internet company has probably said that before. So it's not it's not wrong to keep that in there. It's like to find major.

Yeah. Ah, person has said that. I don't know if they've said it about LLM boost.com, but like a person has said that for sure. So let's get into the quiz.

So it creates the quiz. Wait, so did you do any work before this? Cause I'm on bolt.new right now. It takes like a few minutes to make the website if you're using the free account, like I am right?

I'm sure I have a free account. Maybe I have a paid account. Okay. So while we were talking, I just said make a personality quiz website and I got a webpage that like I just clicked start now.

Right. And it works. The website works. Yeah, it's crazy.

It's absolutely crazy. Okay. Awesome. Yeah.

So there's this thing that you can literally just say English to and software comes out of it, which is bonkers. And so it says what type of business do you want to operate? Let's just say like a service business. Do you have a website for your or we can just do like you actually we can do Hampton would be a service business.

Yeah. Yeah. Do you have a website? Yes.

I do. How often do you publish new weekly weekly or more often? What topics is your content to be covered? How to guides like this is relevant.

I'll do a case studies. Go to case studies. Click place studies. You can click both.

Oh, wow. Okay. But before today, how familiar were you with LMS? Oh, somewhat familiar.

Okay. Do you use do you or your team use a I chose like Chatey for business all the time? Yeah. Are your competitors visible in AI search to your knowledge?

I am not sure. How important is SEO for your business currently? It's somewhat important. Join Hampton.com.

People don't search CEO communities, but but in LMS, they'll ask it CEO questions and it would be amazing if we were recommended. Put your name, some par company named Hampton. Look at this. Look at this.

I want the report. I'm like, they put a little privacy thing. That's a small detail that I that again, so they should put like the Chinese emoji flag at the end. And that's like the symbol for gotcha totally made in China.

Privacy that we respect your privacy will only use information. Use your information to send you your quiz results and related LMS, the information. We will never share information with their parties. This is the little details that if you don't use manis or an L M like that and ask it to do the prom for you, you will miss.

Boom. So in 24 hours, Sam, you're going to get a personalized LMS, your score, your going to analysis of your current AI search visibility, you're going to get specific recommendations for improvement and additional resources to help you to help optimize your business for L M visibility. We just built a sass in like 30 minutes. Well, but it's not doing that.

Is it going to do the work for me? It's not you have to then hire the person to like the consultant. Like, so who's going to do a personalized LMS, your score? This software.

So what man is created the the all I have to do to get it to to for this to work. All I have to do is a bolt has these like integrations. So let me see my analysis, analyze me, baby. I have to just put in all I have to do is get a chat GPT API key and hook it up and I'll get I can get your score.

How hard will that be? In under an hour, you can have chat GPT analyze the data and you know, you would probably want to have an integration with super base. So you know, super base? No, dude.

Okay. So a super base is it's just it's a database. So this is just the front end, right? In simpler English words, I would say it's just the thing that is showing it, but you need to hook it up to a database, a place where you can store the data.

And you can also, and if you want to take payments, you're going to want to add strike as well. Okay. So, and the way that you would create this report for me is by doing what? So in the manis details, it tells you exactly what we should prompt chat GPT, perplexity, all that stuff.

And we just need an API key because it will cost money to actually use the intelligence of those of those LMS. But what would we ask chat GPT? So we can actually go back to manis and see that. So here's the testing.

So section one, brand and company info problems to check if an LMS can accurately retrieve basic information about the company and its offerings. So if you actually filled so Hampton, just so it would take your information, your quiz information and then a company name would say Hampton. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. So it's going to take all that quiz information and it's going to just put it in all these questions and then we're going to have agents basically figure this out for us and it's going to open a score. And the agents would be chat GPT.

Yeah. And they would be, I would be asking chat GPT itself. How does join Hampton rank? Yeah.

Well, you'd actually, you would probably the prompt would be, yeah, the prompt would be like, what can you tell me about Hampton? Then it would, then the output would go to super base, this is getting the technical, but then the output would go to super base and it would say, this is what we learned about Hampton and then chat GPT or open AI would say, okay, based on that, it performed well, not well, you know, we're going to give it a score of 70 on 100. And then now you have that score. So super base is the one that's giving the score.

Super base is what stores the data. Open AI, chat GPT is what crunches the numbers. Manus is what's given us the questions that we should ask and chat GPT is the one that is analyzing if it ranks well. And then what would I have to do better to rank well?

That's a great question. So that's where it's you basically send people the report and you say, like, you scored really well here, you didn't score well here. We can help you. Like that's the business model.

We can help you, you know, get better LLM SEO for $2,000 a month. Here's a package for $5,000 a month. Here's a package. Well, I know, but if I bought the $2,000 package, what would it be doing?

Oh, 80% here's the thing that no one says. 80% of or 90% of good LMSCO is just good regular SEO. So getting backlinks, backlinks. Another thing that's really worth doing is in a world where you have tools like Replit, I think you had them on the show of Bolt, you know, creating calculators and software.

That's also a high quality signal for a lot of these LMS. All right. This is building my mind. I think the next piece is going to blow your mind even more.

OK, do it. So you might be thinking, OK, cool, Greg. You build something and it's a prototype. But the hardest part about getting a business to $1 million a year in revenue, or $2 million a year is getting customers.

How the hell have you got customers? Well, let's do what I call vibe marketing. So I'm using a tool called Lindy, Lindy.ai. Today, we're going to go through two to three Lindy workflows that you can copy that can help you get your customers on autopilot.

OK, so I'm showing this by the way, I'm showing this so that you can copy it. It's just so that people listening to this in their own businesses and their own ideas could be thinking about, OK, how can I use a tool like this? That's what I'm doing with all these tools. You don't need to use madness.

You don't need to use, you know, bolts. You don't need to use ideas. You don't need to use any of these Lindy, but just think like this. So this is a flow that I use for our design agency, LCA, those designed for AI interfaces or an AI age that has literally made us millions of dollars and it could be used for LMS to the way it works is this.

I take my tweets, I create content on Twitter. I post it to LinkedIn. OK, I literally just copy and paste it. Then if I have a post on LinkedIn, it looks at who comments and likes it.

Then it puts all that data. So Sam Par might like in comments, say like cool, cool post. It goes into that database and it gives me data enrichment. So I basically it says, Sam Paro, he lives in New York, Hampton, he's got 5000 followers, whatever it is.

So it decides if a lead is qualified or not. It says LM scores the prospect based on zero to five based on our secret sauce. It's the criteria. If the lead is qualified, we actually get their email and phone number on prospect.

And so we have to have a prospect account. We have a post prospect account. Yes. So it'll give me your email and then it updates it and then we have a Slack channel that says Sam Par potential customer just commented.

And for us, like for our business, we are average our average deal size is a million dollars. So we're only trying to find like CEO, like these are less of customers. Like it's the GM of Nike. It's the president drop box, right?

And you make content that the GM or whoever like and like a dude. All right. I almost didn't want to share this. What videos, what video titles do you have that are all about marketing things like this?

All my vibe marketing stuff. I just did like a presentation on vibe marketing. I go through like a bunch of workflows. Watch that.

It's a good primer. Start with that. Oh my God. It's already getting homework.

So you're making me weak at the knees, Greg. We are nerds, dude. This is making us weak at the knees. Yeah.

It is. The next thing is going to make you like super weak. Just because I know how much money I have to spend doing this normally and how much work and how tedious it is like people who have like dude before, I literally have a person coming through this like going through my likes. OK, so check this out.

So we notify the potential prospects. And then what happens is we have a salesperson. If the salesperson hearts the message, it automatically sends them a text message or email. Wait, hearts?

What does heart mean? Like heart, like a heart if they are asking you how to define something and you're just saying the word over and over again. So you know, you know, the symbol of love. Yeah, but where is there a symbol of love?

I'm like, like, I'm slack. Wait, OK, so that's where you're OK. So I post something on LinkedIn, the GM of Salesforce. So I want to sell to clicks it and says, you go Sam or whatever.

You rock, Sam. I get notified in Slack that he said you go girl and then someone on my team click heart and then what then that person gets a personalized email or text message. Oh my God. Yeah, insane, right?

What's email say? It's personalized. I, you know, you might say, I don't know. Like how does it look?

Hey, like saw saw that, you know, imagine this, right? Let's just use the example of, you know, we'll use LCA like design. So let's just say check out this and we just designed Dropbox dash. It's an AI version of Dropbox.

And then I noticed that the, or it notices that the VP of product of Shopify likes it. So personalized email goes out and says, Hey, Shopify, like, how can we transition? Shopify from a cloud company to an AI company? I'd love to jam with you on it.

I saw that you liked my coast. That's crazy. Crazy. But wait, even crazier is the next thing I'm going to show you.

And I know I keep saying that, but this is, this is going to blow your mind. It's a bit more complicated. So bear with me for a second. And then I'm going to show you, by the way, I don't want to forget, I'm going to show you how you can find some of these workflows.

So what if, and by the way, both these things we can use for LMS, what if you can have an email negotiator as a AI agent? So basically what if you can have someone negotiate on behalf of you automatically using AI? So you're like, like, for example, if I'm like, I'm, I'm apartment shopping right now. And like, it could like email apartments that I like.

Well, no, so let's just say, let's use the example of LMS. Just because we were talking about it. So let's just say on LMS, we created a pricing page and it was like, there's three packages for SEO, $3,000, $1,000, $5,000 a month. And then contact us.

You know, someone clicks contact us. They're like, Hey, I'll pay up front, but I want to discount. No problem. So it goes in.

So it gets, we get the email and then it checks the knowledge base. So a knowledge base could be anything from like notion, Google Drive, Dropbox, a website, even. And so you do have to do some upfront human work of like saying, okay, if someone, you know, contacts us and wants a discount, you know, we don't want to, we won't go lower than 10% or 15%. If it finds a response, it automatically responds to the inbound lead.

Now it gives it an objective. So the prompts here, you can see on the right hand side. So the prompt is your job is to negotiate with the emailer and respond to their questions until decision is made in regards to the partnership opportunity. Did you write those prompts?

So Lindy has a template section that recommend people go and check them out. You can actually just copy these, some of these workflows and prompts. So it goes, Hey, first name, appreciate the interest. We only discount 10% for fall deals, editors are busiest type of collapse.

Let me know what you decide. You know, keep responses to one to two sentences, never make offerings. So this is insane. Do all of your employees know how to do all this stuff incredibly well?

I mean, dude, we're like incubating AI products and have agencies for this stuff. So yes, how many, how many police do you have? We're probably like 55, 60. And if you didn't have this stuff, how much bigger would it like?

I want to know how much you're saving doing this. Oh, we're probably saving. Well, first of all, we're doing, we're doing things out at a speed and scale. We wouldn't be able to do with human beings realistically.

So there's money that we had left on the table, like millions of dollars a year that per year, especially on the LCA side, like these big partnerships yield. Like it's so important that you reach out to someone like five minutes, 10 minutes, 25 minutes after they are engaged or else. They might even forget about you. You know what I mean?

Like in that LinkedIn example. So I would say we're probably saving $5 million a year plus. Damn, yeah. Could I just hire like, are there agencies that like, or I wish that like I had a full time staff member who just did this stuff, who just audited everything that we do.

And was like, let's automate it. You know, I don't mean to plug all my stuff, but you can go to marketing.com. That's what you guys do. Like very small, like, I don't know how many clients, couple, a couple dozen clients.

Yeah. We spend more time building software and technology that automates this, but I just want you to come on every week and just show me how to do everything like this. Professor Greg. This is kind of cool.

So you can, I don't know if you know this, Sam, but you can, you can actually use, I call it, clod people, American, it's called Claude. I can't remember. I call it, but you can use clod, clod, clod. Is that, is that Canadian in French?

You call it, you use called, clod, not, not, not, not. Claude. OK. You can use, clod to basically call a phone number and have a full on community, you know, voice, voice, I've been the recipient of those.

I think those are horrible. They're 85% there, but it's worth playing with it because Lindy was like, not at 66 months ago, it was like 20% there and now it's closed. So I don't know if I would use it to, you know, reach out to customers, but Sam, this is what you should do. You create a 1-800 number.

It's like 1-800 joint hands in people call it and you ask for feedback. So we call it, you know, you get feedback and someone says, I had an amazing experience with Hampton. It was awesome and it's anonymous feedback. Then it gets stored in a database.

So we stored an air table and then we let our team know and summarize the call. And this is using Twilio air table and then we posted Slack. So we know every single day we're getting feedback around what people are saying about some of our products and services. We should do that for MFM.

You should 100%. You should totally do it. I can build it for you too. You'll let's do it.

I want to build that one sometime. I want MFM hotline that people call and can say whatever and we make a segment out of it. Yeah, easy, easy. So those are three workflows worth considering.

Now I have to make mention there are other tools that you could use besides Lindy, there's Gamlu and there's N8N. Do these names are funky, Gamlu, super bass, these are some interesting names. I like things that are really easy to do. Like I like that there's templates on Lindy.
