Favorite AI? Believe it or not, all GPTs are not alike. Some are better at image creation. Some are better at business branding comprehensively. Weird but true. Claude? For me, can't wait for me to leave. hahaha. Like, "Okay, you're done now, right? Goodbye." Cold prompt in AI Mode Chrome? Never wants me to leave. "Do you want fries with that?" after every answer. hahaha. Keeps going. Keeps offering. Won't let me go. But here's what just happened recently... I did a deep dive with deep search. Gave it the core of my branding. The core of what I was trying to achieve. Sales pitch. Elevator pitch. Newbie appeal. Founder appeal. What it responded with almost got me teary-eyed. No labcoat arrogance. No "you're doing it wrong." No boxing in. No leading with negative. No poem format. No em-dashes. No "I am God you are not" mode. Just pure plain English. It went from what I asked... and scaled it to: - Here is your presentation - Here is your email strategy - Here is your unique platform strategy On and on. Talking in real language. Giving me fresh perspectives from so many angles. It really inspired me. We don't know what we don't know. And you may have another experience to share on a different platform. I would love to hear it. So... what's your favorite AI? What's the one that surprised you? The one that got it right? The one that made you think, "Wait... did it just... get me?" Drop it below.

For the past few years, I've been learning and working in marketing, mainly copywriting, email marketing, creative strategy, and analyzing what makes marketing convert. Like a lot of people starting out, I spent a long time thinking about questions like: - What service should I offer? - How should I position myself? - How do I get more clients? The problem is... I realized I was making it all about me. So I've decided to take a step back. Instead of asking, "What can I sell?" I want to ask, "What do businesses actually need?" My goal isn't to find the next trendy service or chase quick money. I want to build a business that's genuinely valuable for the companies it works with, one that's built around solving real problems, not just selling skills I happen to have. That's why I'm doing this research. If you own or work in an online business (SaaS, ecommerce, agency, creator business, education, AI, etc.), I'd really appreciate your perspective. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these questions: 1. What do businesses say they need? What are they actively looking for or hiring for? 2. What do businesses actually need? What problems do you think are being overlooked, misunderstood, or underestimated? 3. Looking 3–5 years ahead, what do you think online businesses will need most to stay competitive? I'm not asking because I'm trying to pitch anyone. In fact, I'm doing the opposite. I want to spend the next few months deeply understanding the market before I decide what kind of company I want to build and where I can create the most value. I know there are founders, operators, marketers, and agency owners in this community with years of experience. Even if your answer is based purely on your own experience, I'd genuinely love to hear it. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate anyone willing to share their perspective.

Most people just download PDFs, feel productive for five minutes, and never actually read them. This is exactly why we moved our resources into Floment (floment.ai). Instead of static guides, it gives clients an active, shared workspace where they actually map out their daily tasks and run sprints. If they get stuck, they can use the built-in AI right inside their task cards to brainstorm or outline their next step, keeping them focused on raw execution. If you want your students to stop hoarding files and actually start building, give it a look.

A year ago, you could quickly write a PDF with ChatGPT and sell it. Today, students hate copy-pasted AI writing. If we want our courses and programs to sell, we have to stop using AI for cheap shortcuts. Instead of just generating more text for them to read, how are you using AI to actually help your students execute and get results? Let's share ideas.
