Vending Machine?
I grabbed all the comments
from Cody Sanchez's vending machine video.
And put them into ChatGpt.
Then asked it to highlight the main concerns/challenges the viewers had (hell island).
Then I asked it to give me ebook & mini course recommendations based on the comments.
Then I asked it for ideas for AI tools that would complement the ebooks/courses.
Here's the results:
