  • This Google Doc Has $10M Startup Ideas in It (My Secret Sauce)

    I share 17 practical methods for generating viable startup ideas in the AI era. The strategies focus on identifying pain points, tedious workflows, and manual processes that could be automated or improved with AI. These techniques can help both aspiring entrepreneurs seeking new ventures and established startup founders looking to expand their product offerings.

    I figured out how to get 5x better results from ChatGPT (Full Tutorial)

    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.

    Timestamps:

    00:00 - Intro
    01:29 - Initial Prompt
    04:04 - Improved Responses after "Jealousy" Prompt

    Key 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 better

    1) 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 needs

    5) 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 version!

    6) BONUS TIP: You don't even have to be 100% honest!

    Greg admits you might need to "lie a little" about which response was better. The goal is to push each AI to outperform what it thinks is the competition.

    Ethical? Debatable. Effective? ABSOLUTELY.

    7) This technique works for EVERYTHING:
    • Writing emails
    • Creating content
    • Drafting proposals
    • Generating creative ideas
    • Coding solutions

    Anywhere you need higher quality AI outputs, the jealousy technique delivers.
