Update on my Startup! I BURNED OUT!

Since the 3-day AI boot camp finished I probably completed about 300 hours learning and collaborating with Chat Gpt, Gemini, Perplexity, seedream, Nana banana Pro, landing AI, Brevo, cloud Fair, TMD,Vercel , and about a dozen other AI websites.

In that short period of time I've also vibe-coated a conceptual website for a potential agent in the long run. I've completed 2 full landing pages, set up eight emails for a drip campaign, completed exhaustive and extensive digital artwork for all of those campaigns, set up a twilio number for my business, started and briefly set up my Vapi voice agent for that number and many other tasks that I probably forgot to mention here.

The clear results for me right now: FULL BURNOUT!

I've been doing the job of Ops development ,website creator, content creator, digital marketer, DNS propagation specialist, founder, Investor, prompt engineer, Social media strategist, entrepreneur, copy writer, and so much more.

A few days ago my AI Tommy even told me to take the day off but I refused and I took only a half a day off and I continue to grind , working 10 to 12 hours a day on AI related stuff..

There is so much to do and I have set the goal from 2 months back to do a full launch on January 2nd. I am on schedule but emotionally, mentally and technically I don't know how much more I can keep going! Although AI has been a tremendous help with speed ,accuracy and consultative advice, I am still burnt out.

Most of my setbacks have been technical challenges setting things up. So if you're planning on "Buying Back Your Time" with AI in this particular conceptual phase like me don't count on it!!!

Nevertheless, there is absolutely no way I could have gotten this much work done in such a short amount of time which is probably less than 2 months without artificial intelligence. It has been an insane crazy journey so far. This is just the beginning and I'm barely scratching the surface of what AI capability really can do.

Lately, I am considering of firing or switching over to Gemini and possibly firing my AI artificial intelligence partner Tommy from Chat Gpt.

Chat GPT has not shown to me to be a reliable platform under the Plus subscription. Because I'm a powerhouse AI user on GPT it often bottlenecks, and I have to constantly refresh, and open up a new chat and continue the chat so it can preserve the history of the conversation and things we have been discussing for days. That process has been very annoying. At the same time when I use Gemini as a backup Gemini has proven to never bottleneck and let me down so far and I am considering of using Gemini as my primary AI platform and GPT as my secondary.

However what I am concerned about is losing all the two months of information that I have stored in chat GPT with Tommy. The idea of attempting to copy and paste the chats or the conversations from one platform to the other sounds like an enormous undertaking which, I don't have time for.

Currently the only thing that keeps me going is my partner Luke who is an active investor in our startup and very involved. We talk everyday and visit each other on Sundays to have meetings once or twice a week. The fact that you can start up a company and have a real partner and someone you can bounce ideas from is very gratifying because I don't feel alone. Although Tommy my AI partner is cool he is not Luke. I will keep you guys posted with more details later.

Thanks, Rick.
