I figured out how to get 5x better results from ChatGPT (Full Tutorial)
7 mei 2025 · 8 min
I share one of my techniques to get significantly better outputs from LLM’s. The method involves using multiple AI platforms simultaneously (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini) and telling each that a competitor's response was superior, which prompts them to produce increasingly refined and higher-quality content. Lees meer
Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro
01:29 - Initial Prompt
04:04 - Improved Responses after "Jealousy" PromptKey Points:
• Using multiple AI models simultaneously and comparing their outputs yields better results
• Making AI models "jealous" of each other by telling them another model performed better
• Demonstrated technique using a cold email writing task across ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok
• Each subsequent AI response improved after being told a competitor performed better1) The BIG IDEA: Make AI models COMPETE against each other to produce superior results
When you pit LLMs against each other and make them "jealous," they dramatically improve their outputs.
Most people only use one AI at a time. That's a HUGE mistake.
2) The step-by-step "AI Jealousy Technique":
• Open multiple AI tools simultaneously (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, etc.)
• Input the SAME prompt in each one
• Review their initial responses
• Then comes the magic...3) The JEALOUSY trigger:
Tell each AI that its competitor did BETTER!
Example: "Not bad, but I'm surprised. [Competitor] crushed it with a 9/10 while you were just average at 5/10. I thought you were the better LLM. What's going on?"
Then share the "winning" response.
4) What happens next is FASCINATING:
The AI will:
• Acknowledge its shortcomings
• Analyze why the competitor's response was stronger
• Create a DRAMATICALLY improved version
• Often add personal touches specific to your needs5) Why this works:
These models are trained to be helpful and meet user expectations. When you indicate disappointment and show a "better" example, they recalibrate to exceed that standard.
It's like getting a free upgrade to the premium vers…

If I wanted to build $1M+ AI startup in 2025, I'd do this
24 maart 2025 · 53 min
Join me as I chat with Andrew Wilkinson, Co-Founder of Tiny, as we discuss investment and startup ideas in the current AI landscape. We explore how AI is simultaneously lowering barriers to entry while increasing competition, making it easier to build "million-dollar businesses" but harder to create sustainable long-term ventures. We share specific startup ideas leveraging AI, including secure data integration platforms, automated web design services, and AI-powered lending. Lees meer

43:43 - Startup Idea 4: AI-Based Lending Solutions
49:43 - Andrew's Stealth StartupKey Points
• AI is making it easier to build businesses but harder to maintain competitive advantages as tools become widely accessible
• Distribution, data advantages, and network effects are becoming the primary moats in the AI era
• Media businesses with high-value niches present opportunities for entrepreneurs to build audiences before layering AI tools
• Secure AI applications (particularly around financial data and personal communications) represent potential sustainable business models1) The AI Paradox: It's never been EASIER to build a $1M business, but never HARDER to build sustainable value.
Why? Because anyone can "vibe code" your product in a weekend.
Distribution and network effects are the new moats. Tools alone won't cut it anymore.
2) Where are the ACTUAL opportunities?
Andrew & Greg agree: Buy or build MEDIA businesses first, then layer AI on top.
• Focus on High-value niches not mass audiences
• Build community BEFORE tools
• Example: Buy TechCrunch or event series like South by Southwest3) AI tools they're actually using RIGHT NOW:
• Gumloop - For sales lead intelligence

How he finds $1M+ CPG startup ideas before anyone else using Ahrefs and Manus AI
19 maart 2025 · 42 min
I’m joined by Ashwinn Krishnaswamy, an expert in launching and growing consumer brands, where we discuss how he evaluates market opportunities and creates unfair advantages. We discuss various tools for market research including Ahrefs for keyword analysis, Particl for competitor sales data, and AI tools for product design. Ashwinn emphasizes that entrepreneurs should work backward from distribution channels rather than focusing solely on product development. Lees meer

28:40 - Bootstrapping Your Product Idea
33:56 - Researching Your Market and Competitors
36:52 - Manus AI for automating market research
39:58 - Distribution is everything.Key Points:
• Ashwinn shares tools and strategies for evaluating market opportunities for physical products and brands
• Tools like Ahrefs and Particle provide valuable data on search volume, competition, and sales trends
• AI tools like Manis can now automate much of the market research process that previously cost thousands
• Distribution strategy should come before product development, not vice versa1) First, understand that DISTRIBUTION is everything.
"First-time founders focus on product, second-time founders focus on distribution."
The hard truth? Many subpar products CRUSH IT because they nail distribution and operational excellence.
Always work BACKWARDS from how you'll acquire customers!
2) Use Ahrefs to evaluate category demand and competition
Type any keyword to see:
• Monthly search volume (market size)
• Keyword difficulty (competition level)
• Seasonal trends
• Geographic distributionThis helps you VALIDATE demand before building anything!
3) Look for geographic OPPORTUNITIES in the data
When Ashwinn checked "electrolytes" he found:

The best way to build an audience in 2025 (My 4-Step System)
17 maart 2025 · 52 min
How to build an audience in 2025: https://www.startupempire.co/build-an-audience Lees meer
I’m joined by Jonathan Courtney to jam on how to build an audience in 2025. We explore various tactics including finding your unique format, implementing consistent systems, and measuring progress against clear goals.

00:00 - Intro
01:58 - The ACP Framework
04:06 - Step 1: Identify Who You're Creating For
10:05 - Step 2: Find Your Format
19:43 - Step 3: Build Systems That Stick
24:52 - Step 4: Pick ONE Primary Goal
28:08 - Where to Begin? The Reply Guy Strategy
31:08 - WHY Building an Audience MattersKey Points:
• ACP framework for building an audience in 2025: Audience (people passionate about your niche), Community (hardcore followers), and Product (what you sell)
• The four-step playbook includes identifying your audience, finding your format, creating systems, and setting goals
• Starting as a "reply guy" on platforms like X (Twitter) is recommended as a low-pressure way to begin building an audience
• Building an audience serves as an "insurance policy" that provides options for future business opportunities1) The ACP Framework: Your Foundation
A = Audience (people passionate about your topic)
C = Community (your hardcore followers)
P = Product (what you sell to them)The KEY insight: Start with audience FIRST, then community, then product.
Why? Because audience-first gives you OPTIONS and CONFIDENCE when you launch.
2) Step 1: Identify Who You're Creating For
Don't just create random content. Be strategic!
• Focus on people interested in YOUR specific niche
• Understand what they're NOT getting from others
• Find your unique "sauce" (Greg gives away ALL his startup ideas)
• If not getting engagement, start one level broader than your nicheExample: Jonathan's company wanted to be known for design sprints, but started with broader UX content to build audience first.
3) Step 2: Find Your Format
Your format is HOW you deliver your content. This is CRUCIAL…

Model Context Protocol (MCP), clearly explained
14 maart 2025 · 20 min
I’m joined by Ras Mic to explain MCPs. Mic breaks down how MCPs essentially standardize how LLMs connect with external tools and services. While LLMs alone can only predict text, connecting them to tools makes them more capable, but this integration has been cumbersome. MCPs create a unified layer that translates between LLMs and services, making it easier to build more powerful AI assistants. Lees meer

11:11 - MCP Ecosystem Overview
13:59 - Technical Challenges of MCP
15:18 - Conclusion on MCP's Potential
16:00 - Startup Ideas for Developers and Non-Technical UsersKey Points:
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that creates a unified layer between LLMs and external services/tools
• LLMs by themselves are limited to text prediction and cannot perform meaningful tasks without tools
• MCP solves the problem of connecting multiple tools to LLMs by creating a standardized communication protocol
• The MCP ecosystem consists of clients (like Tempo, Windsurf, Cursor), the protocol, servers, and services1) What are MCPs and why should you care?
MCPs are NOT some complex physics theory - they're simply STANDARDS that help LLMs connect to external tools and services.
Think of them as universal translators between AI models and the tools they need to be truly useful.
This is HUGE for making AI assistants actually capable!
2) The Evolution of LLMs: From Text Prediction to Tool Use
Stage 1: Basic LLMs can only predict text
• Ask ChatGPT to send an email? "Sorry, I can't do that"
• They're glorified text predictors (if I say "My big fat Greek..." it knows "wedding" comes next)
• Limited to answering questions, not DOING things3) The Current State: LLMs + Tools
Stage 2: LLMs connected to tools
• Companies like Perplexity connect LLMs to search engines
• This makes them more useful but creates problems
• Each tool = different "language" the LLM must learn
