00:00
Alright. I'm setting my timer. I'm gonna give myself thirty one minutes to give you ten specific AI business ideas.
00:16
I'm doing this because I see a lot of stuff on YouTube that's like, hey,
00:19
AI is the next big thing.
00:21
And then they're like, you're like, okay. What? How? For me? What should I do with it? And there's no answers. Or AI is gonna kill us all. Like, really? Shit. How? Like, we don't know.
00:32
So I just don't like the
00:34
the just general enthusiasm without the specifics. And so
00:38
this is all about the specifics. And I I think I'm well qualified to do this because I've
00:42
My whole life, I've been an entrepreneur,
00:44
and I've been an idea guy. I ran an idea lab where I was basically funded to just come up with business ideas and then build them for six years.
00:52
I then have a podcast now. This podcast is all about business ideas. I've also invested in the last year, maybe two million dollars into AI company. So I've about a dozen companies that I said yes to plus probably another hundred or so that we passed on. So I've seen a bunch in this AI space. I know what the the best entrepreneur is in Silicon Valley are doing. That's why I live. And so I wanted to share with you my list from number ten to number one. Number one being the best, the biggest opportunity that I see in the in the space
01:18
that
01:19
If I wasn't just chilling out, rich, and happy, and being a dad, I would go and jump in and do these right away. Instead, I'm gonna invest from the side. I hope somebody takes an idea from this list and just goes and does
01:29
But before I tell you the ideas, a quick little history lesson, a quick little trip down memory lane, a little I told you so.
01:36
Three years ago, on this exact podcast,
01:39
I did an episode called is GPT
01:42
the next big thing. I think it was like episode ninety four. We're on like five hundred now. And this was back in July of twenty twenty. So it's like COVID had just hit. People are freaking out.
01:52
But me and Sam got on set podcast. We sent his GPT three the next big thing. We had gotten access to this tool that there was no chat GPT at the time. You had to, like, get a favor from somebody to even be able to try it. And we used it to write rap lyrics, which, of course, being idiots that we are, we thought, oh, that's the best thing we can do with artificial
02:12
intelligence.
02:13
And so we well, we thought it was amazing. We were like, wow. This is really good.
02:17
And we the episode is GPT the next week thing. We're basically saying, yeah. It will be. Now that's twenty twenty. Fast forward today. Open AI is worth ninety billion dollars. They're doing a billion dollars a year. ChatGPT is the fastest growing product in history to hit a hundred million users.
02:32
You know, so I'm not saying that we called it. I'm not saying that we're business geniuses.
02:37
We kinda did, and we kinda are. So, you know, if if you had listened to me then, you probably coulda made a bunch of money.
02:43
Listen to me now because I got for today, I'm gonna share with you ten specific AI business ideas ranging from
02:49
simple
02:53
doable things for somebody who's nontechnical,
02:56
all the way to, like, moonshot,
02:58
really big ideas that,
03:00
I think are
03:02
game changing. And so I'm gonna read you the list from number ten to number one. They include things from
03:09
about, you know, robotics and therapy and celebrities and education
03:14
to porn, to I got everything. And the last one, the very last one I think is the biggest idea.
03:20
That exists
03:21
today. So the biggest
03:23
I think it is the biggest opportunities that exist today for any entrepreneur,
03:26
you know, like,
03:28
when you think about
03:29
Mark Zuckerberg stumbling into sort of like the social networking craze
03:33
or,
03:34
you know, when Steve Jobs created the iPhone that changed everything. There are these sort of change everything moments. And, like, you know, I was a kid when the internet came out. I'm thirty five years old now. So I was, you know, I remember being on the internet as, like, a twelve or thirteen year old.
03:48
Using, like, you know, whatever very basic,
03:50
dial up connections and BBS forums and stuff like that. But it was clear to me the internet was a thing. It's just I was a kid. So I didn't think about how I could bend like, I just wanted to use it. I didn't think about I wasn't an entrepreneur. I was a teenager. Right? I couldn't even spell onto her. Still can't.
04:06
But then when I graduated from college, I graduated in twenty ten. The iPhone had come out the year before I think the app store had come out.
04:13
But I wasn't I didn't have the light bulb on. I didn't really understand that
04:18
there are few times. I think what's that Warren Buffett quote? He's like,
04:23
something like,
04:24
there are moments there are moments every once in a while where their eyes get cloudy and it begins to rain opportunity.
04:32
And when it does, let us not run out spoons, but with bathtubs to to, you know, to catch the opportunity.
04:38
So I didn't really realize when mobile was the big opportunity. It was right in front of my nose. Right? Like, We were working on things. And we had a mobile developer, one guy, and we would, you know, we would, we would try to make a mobile version of our website we didn't realize, yo, mobile's changing everything, and all of a sudden,
04:55
you know, this thing's got a GPS. That means that Uber is possible. Google Maps is possible. This has a camera. So that means that Snapchat and Instagram is are are now possible.
05:04
You know, I'm carrying this with me everywhere. So all of a sudden, WhatsApp is possible.
05:08
You know, this thing has an accelerometer inside. That means that my fitness pal is possible. Right? So the the technology unlocks the opportunity. So
05:17
Now to my specific list
05:19
of ten ideas
05:21
that I think anybody could do. And by the way, well, here's my disclaimer.
05:25
These specific ideas don't matter. I know I'm hyping him up a little bit, but it's not the ideas that matter. Navall has this great quote where he says, You know, you don't read books for the information.
05:35
You read books because books spark ideas in your head. Right? Reading a great book is like,
05:41
you know, lighting a match or starting a bonfire in your brain. And so that's my goal. I wanna start a little bonfire in your brain. I want these ideas to help you get to the real idea. I don't think that these are necessarily gonna be the ones, but I hope that they really stimulate you to think.
05:56
Okay. So
05:57
Let's jump in.
06:02
Number ten.
06:03
Eliminate the weight. Okay. So we think of the internet as this fast place, a place where you can just click and you instantly get what you want. But,
06:11
that's true. Like, the internet just compare normal business, I used to have to drive, go to my car, drive to a store, park, get out, walk in if I wanted to buy something. And now the internet, I get on off duty that shit. I just website
06:22
Click. Boom. It'll be here in two days. Right? That's kind of amazing. So the internet has killed rating in a bunch of different ways, and that's generated billions and billions and billions of dollars of value.
06:33
But all waiting is not gone. There's still some waiting left.
06:38
A lot to tell you about it. So, like, for example, this is, one of my companies is called Sheppard. Right? I'm a minority owner of, of sheppard. I bought a minority stake earlier this year.
06:47
They do a very simple thing. So they find you employees overseas that will cost you eighty percent less than if you're hiring in the US. They're like recruiters that will find the best talent in the Philippines or LatAm that just solves whatever problem you have. Okay. Great. So now when somebody comes to this website and this business works, right, it makes millions of dollars a year, but It also loses, I believe, millions of dollars a year because of one very simple problem, which is that when you click start hiring here,
07:11
it's going to tell you to book a call. It says, great. Tell us some information. And then when you do when once you fill this in, you know, you fill in a small form soon as you do that, then it's going to,
07:21
tell you to book a call. And that book of calls might be two days from now, three days from now, four days from now.
07:27
By then, you're cooled off. Right? Like, you, you know, you you've lost anybody any salesperson knows that, like, you need to strike while the iron's hot. You're gonna have the highest conversion rate in that moment. So let me show you what an AI company is doing that I think is very smart. This is called some company called same day. So I'm not involved in this at all. I just think of their it's a very cool idea.
07:46
So they're like, hey, what if we just had a phone agent, an AI phone agent that could just reply to anybody who calls you right away? So,
07:54
listen to this.
07:56
How can I help you today? Yeah. I got a call from my wife a minute ago. She said there's a bunch of ants coming through our kitchen window. How soon can you guys come out?
08:04
That's the worst. Luckily,
08:06
I can probably have someone out as soon as tomorrow to take care of those ants. Can I get your address to confirm?
08:12
Yeah.
08:14
But can you transfer you to a person?
08:17
Yeah. I can transfer you to a person,
08:19
but you'll be on hold for about nine minutes. Now, I can answer any questions and get you scheduled in under two. How does that sound, Aaron? That sounds good, but what's it gonna cost?
08:30
Oh, of course. I just need to know. Alright. You get the idea.
08:34
I think it's funny they made him have a accent. But,
08:38
you know, he instead of I'm interested and then three day gap, now we get on a Zoom call, and you're trying to remember
08:45
the context, and then we fumble and bubble. How about right when I say I'm interested? A AI sales agent is gonna call me, you know, or or create a voice call right here on the on on the browser.
08:55
And, ask the questions that it needs to do to qualify me as a potential customer as well as answer the questions that you have and even give you a sales pitch. Right? You might look at that and be like, Oh, you know, that it's a little slow the way it talks or it's not as good as a human. And I would tell you two things. Number one, that,
09:11
The conversion rate in the moment, the versus the drop off of people not not, you know, bouncing because they don't wanna book a call or
09:19
not showing up to the call. Like, the show up rate might be sixty five percent to a call. You know, you get these huge drop offs for every step of every additional step in the funnel. So you wanna just remove steps in any funnel. So I believe that a ai sales agent will be
09:34
higher converting than doing it the sort of slower human way. And the second thing is,
09:39
this is v one. Imagine, you know, like, do you remember the v one of anything? The the cell phones or the v even v one of the iPhone compared to what we have now on iPhone fifteen. Like, just wait two years. This is gonna be incredible.
09:52
And it's already good enough to,
09:54
make up for the fact that, you know, you know how many businesses don't even have a phone number or don't answer the phone when you call them. Like, every pest control service or lawn care service or self storage facility or whatever. You name it. You can go and become
10:09
the,
10:10
the AI phone sales guy for every business on the internet. I think that's that's one opportunity that's there for the taking is forget this whole idea of you know, call me. I'll call you back or book a call in a few days and we'll talk. It's no. No. No. It's gonna be. We'll talk right now with my highly trained sales agent who always sticks to the script is always polite, never gets frustrated, never gets sick, never takes a day off.
10:33
That's what's gonna happen here. That that's how that's where this is going.
10:39
Okay. Idea number nine. Therapy for everybody. So
10:43
therapy used to be pretty taboo and every year, becoming less and less so. Every year, more and more people are going to therapy, and there are multiple billion dollar therapy startups that just connect you with a therapist.
10:56
However,
10:57
that's still only a fraction of the opportunity. How do you make this a hundred times more accessible? Right? Like, I think Most people could probably benefit from having somebody to talk to,
11:07
having somebody who's there for them, supportive, ask good questions, gives good advice,
11:12
That seems like something that's gonna help every couple, every individual person, every executive,
11:16
etcetera.
11:18
And, the biggest barrier to this is now is cost
11:22
and sort of like the friction or privacy that's involved. It's almost like,
11:26
remember how hymns came out and they were like, You know what, erectile dysfunction is a big deal. It's a big problem, but people don't wanna go to the doctor, admit this to another person, and then have to go to a pharmacy and say, hey, can I get my pills, please?
11:40
Instead, what if it was, you could just telemedicine, you could diagnosed online, get the prescription really quickly from the comfort of your own home without going anywhere. And then we'll deliver it to your doorstep in very discreet packaging, and there you go. And Hims and Road did this and built billion dollar companies just on that one that one way of increasing access. Well, I think for therapy, you gotta do two. I think you gotta decrease the cost and increase the privacy. So solution,
12:02
put an AI therapist in everyone's pocket. You train it on a hundred million hours of therapy, you know, with transcript,
12:10
and, and conversations that that that exist or could exist.
12:14
And,
12:15
and you provide the service to to everybody, even people who can't afford a hundred dollar an hour or two hundred dollar an hour, our therapist,
12:22
you know, you drop the cost of that by a hundred x. So how do I get this for ten dollars a month or five dollars a month? That's the that's the big opportunity. And how do I in doing so? You would a hundred x the number of people that get this benefit. Right? It's a win win. And, you know, I don't know the exact specifics. Like, you know, you may need
12:39
it's gonna take some time to train this to be good. There may be some things like, you know, the difference between creating drugs or a supplement, like, you have to get If you do, like, either clinical trials and get FDA approval, or you just create a vitamin and you can, like, sell that online tomorrow.
12:53
You know, it might have to be framed less medically and more like coach. I'm not sure. But the idea of providing therapy for everybody is a big idea.
13:06
Number eight, robots that automate warehousing.
13:09
So I, for my e commerce business, was running a warehouse for, I don't know, a year, a year and a half, we had, I don't know, ten thousand or fifteen thousand square foot facility here in California, and we had ten, twenty people there.
13:22
Absolute pain in the ass. Affirm rate, nobody liked it. They didn't like working there. We didn't like having people there. We didn't like running the thing. It was slow. It was expensive. It was bad in, like, pretty much every single way. Then you look at Amazon. And Amazon has invested billions of dollars. I've read anything from ten billion dollars all the way up to a hundred as an estimate of how much they've invested in r and d around
13:41
their warehouse automation.
13:43
Back in the mid two thousands, they bought a company for almost a billion dollars, Kiva, and Kiva systems. And those are those little sleds. You can see these insane videos online. The sled, basically, like,
13:53
goes into the warehouse finds the set of boxes that somebody ordered something from, picks it up, drives back. And these are all, like, there's hundreds of these going at once, and they're all, like, part of one big brain. So they know how to never bump into each other.
14:06
And so they then they drive all the way up to a human who's sitting in a chair who just pulls the item out of the box, puts it in the package. And, that's, you know, what the Amazon product And this is a perfect example of my
14:16
export framework. So my export business framework is basically the way to generate business ideas, which is you look at any big company And you see, what did they spend millions of dollars building a homebrew solution for? Something that, works for them and made their life better. And then can you export that idea as a product that any company could use without having to spend the money on the R and D?
14:37
Tons of examples of this. Simple one, launch darkly.
14:41
Billion dollar company now. They were working at Facebook. Facebook had a feature that they had built intern a product they had built built internally spent a bunch of engineering resources building, which was a way
14:52
to launch new features under feature flags, meaning you launch a feature. It's in the app, you can turn it on for five percent of the population. If if it's bug free, then you can turn it on for twenty five percent of the population. Or if it starts to have a bug, you can Turn it off quickly, remotely from your server. So idea of feature flags. They productized it, took it out there and said, hey, the thing that Facebook uses for their app, you should use in your app. And, of course, it works. So I think somebody's gonna do that here with Amazon's warehouse technology.
15:18
I'll just give you a crazy stat. Just to this stat is the business plan for this business. Right? I talked about this idea of one chart businesses, one stat businesses.
15:26
It's a single stat that basically
15:29
encapsulates the entire opportunity, which is that today,
15:32
two percent of all warehouses use robotics.
15:36
Right? So two percent of all fulfillment warehouses are using robots today.
15:40
That number's going very close to a hundred percent. So just the shift from what's gonna take it from two percent to a hundred percent. You could just sit down and brainstorm. What is that gonna take? Is it neurobotics technology? Is it better sales,
15:51
you know, better sales and development process?
15:54
Is it, consulting practice? What are the different ways you could take that two to a hundred. I think that's just one big opportunity.
16:03
Alright. Number seven.
16:06
Similar to what I just said consulting, McKinsey for AI.
16:09
So
16:11
technologies come, but they don't
16:13
it's not evenly distributed. It doesn't just get everywhere all at once. Right? There's still, like, I don't know, four million people would dial up internet using AOL. We get online right now in the in the United States. And so, it takes time for these technologies to sort of propagate through the through the community, through the population. And so AI
16:29
AI does all this amazing stuff. It can help businesses become more efficient or smart, more intelligent serve their customers better, but it's not just gonna, like, appear overnight in every company,
16:38
at all. No way. And so
16:40
I think
16:42
Somebody can build a killer combo of
16:45
conferences,
16:46
content, and consulting, the three c's. Package those together.
16:49
And build something. So here's what I would do. If I'm working at McKinsey, right, I'm one of these, you know, fancy pants, smart people who works at kit gets a job at McKinsey.
16:58
And
16:59
You have two choices. You're either gonna grind the McKinsey ladder for, like, the next, I don't know, five to ten years
17:05
with the end goal of maybe becoming a partner someday and making a million bucks a year.
17:09
Or
17:11
door number two. Quit your job tomorrow and launch a AI specific consulting practice.
17:17
That is going to identify
17:19
one type of customer. Maybe it's a mid market industrial companies or it's lawyer law firms or dental practices or whatever.
17:26
And identify
17:28
AI market fit. So identify one AI
17:31
tool or process
17:33
that would help one type of customer
17:35
and start there. Start consulting there. You can build a multimillion dollar service business from there and stack more and more. And, basically, in the same ten years instead of just grinding it out at McKinsey, just spend five years doing this on AI, building the AI consulting company and sell it back to McKinsey for a hundred or a thousand x to payout.
17:52
You know, you I believe that there's gonna be billion dollar consulting companies that are specifically just about AI, that the big consulting companies, Deloitte,
18:01
PwC,
18:01
Mackenzie, etcetera.
18:03
They're gonna need to buy.
18:05
They're gonna acquire practices that that do this. And so I think if you have the the the chops to do it, conferences, content, and consulting. I think a a combo of those three
18:15
would work. And specifically around conferences,
18:17
what I don't mean is
18:20
I think everybody wants to do is create the AI conference.
18:23
And that that's cool. Somebody's gonna do that, but that's also very crowded.
18:26
Instead, I think the easier opportunity is to create the
18:30
AI for x conference.
18:32
So AI for health care comrades. Hey, health care. You work you you have a health care company?
18:37
We have a conference that's specifically about
18:39
marrying
18:41
the best AI companies and startups and and experts
18:44
to healthcare companies like you and seeing how you guys are gonna be using AI in the next three years in order to build a better company. And I think you could do that with every every niche, every industry, every industry could have this. So you could do this in health care. You could do this in,
19:00
whatever. You could do this in farming. You could do this in any any
19:03
industry, any vertical industry you could you could create conferences around that. So I think that's separately just a good idea.
19:13
Alright. Next one. Camio. Okay. So
19:16
Camio was this app that got really popular because it lets you buy
19:21
shout outs and greetings from celebrities. Great.
19:24
But if we just step back for a second, like influencers and celebrities make money off their name, their face, their voice, all that.
19:32
And today, if they wanna do that, they have to cut these deals with companies. They have to agree, Hey, you're gonna have to fly out to Tucson, and we're gonna film this commercial, and you're gonna be here on settle day.
19:43
You have to read these lines, and it's it's pain in the ass, and that's why you have to charge a bunch of money for Well,
19:49
now that AI is here, we have something called deep fake technology, which basically means you can make a fake video
19:55
of anyone's face. You've probably
19:58
seen
19:58
the, the deep fake Tom Cruise
20:01
or you've seen the deep fake
20:04
music video that's that was made where the guy's shape face was shifting from one celebrity to the next.
20:09
Indiana Jones, I think he used deep tech to have like the young Indiana versus the the old Harrison Ford's, Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones,
20:17
the fakes are getting really, really good.
20:19
And,
20:21
so this is an opportunity. Now here's the pro here's where everyone gets it wrong.
20:25
People think entrepreneurs think I talked to a lot of startups that do this pitching me for investment, and they're like, we're gonna make this defect tech. It's gonna be great. This is not a tech problem really right now. It's actually a rights problem. So what somebody needs to do The move here is not to go all in on product, but to go all in
20:41
on biz dev, which is a total narrative violation. Nobody says, hey, go all in on biz dev, but that's what you need to do for this business. What you gotta do is create some sort of digital likeness
20:51
license.
20:52
You need to go to athletes and celebrities, everybody CAA represents and WME gotta go to them. You gotta get partner with them and basically say, hey, I'd like to sign up to be your rights provider, rights holder, and provider, and license
21:05
licensing technology
21:07
for you so that anytime a brand comes and wants to use your name and face in voice,
21:12
they can do so. And you can get paid for it. They can have the official
21:16
training data for you. They can have your signature and your rights. That saying you're you're allowed to use my face and my voice to do this. And then after you have the rights, once you and then this is beautiful, by the way, because
21:27
We all know in businesses,
21:29
the value of a business is in the defensibility.
21:32
And the defensibility here is not the technology.
21:34
It's the rights ownership. So if you can go lock up the There's a land grab right now. If you can go lock up the rights
21:39
to the right names and faces and voices,
21:43
and you own that. Right? You either license it from them, and then you sub license it out, or you create the product that they use to manage their rights and licenses.
21:53
You have a moat because there's people only want celebrities, celebrities to do this. And so,
21:58
whoever gets them first wins,
22:00
And after that, you can either buy technology, partner with technology, do whatever you want to actually deliver
22:05
this deep fake stuff. And so you know, in the future, when LeBron James does a McDonald's commercial, he's not gonna have to go fly
22:12
to Georgia and film that commercial. They're just gonna
22:16
set put in an API request,
22:19
pay the money, get the license to his face as voice as whatever. They're gonna be able to script it. He's gonna be able to sign off for approval. That's it. Like, that's how the whole process is gonna go. He's gonna make more money with less time. That's where that's going.
22:34
So idea number five is the opposite of that, the anti cameo. So
22:39
I was on TikTok yesterday, and I saw this video of mister Beast giving away iPhones.
22:44
Now
22:45
your boy's not a dummy, so I know he's not actually doing that. This was a deep But a lot of people didn't know that. They were clicking on it. And in fact, mister Beast tweeted this out was like, hey.
22:54
A lot of people are seeing this, and this is f ed up. How can I get rid of Like, how do I stop this? This is terrible. You're using my face in ways that I definitely don't want.
23:04
Similarly, I saw know, Taylor Swift is all the rage right now because she's dating Travis Kelsey.
23:09
Somebody used mid journey or one of the AI
23:12
image tools.
23:14
To make photos
23:16
of Taylor Swift, like smoke and weed or whatever. Like, they put her in a bunch of compromising situations that you wouldn't want. Be in. She doesn't want to be in. That's bad for her brand, but now it's easy for anybody to just deep fake that. And so,
23:29
You need an anti cameo. So the so protection.
23:32
So the take down and protection and detection and monitoring service for all these celebrities to say, hey, We are scouring the web to make sure your face is not showing up in defect porn or in ads that you're not actually in endorsing and things like that.
23:48
That's gonna become a no brainer business. It's a it's a consequence of how good this technology is. And by the way,
23:54
for all my crypto haters out there, this is a great blockchain use There's a company doing this that,
24:00
basically, what they do is they say, yeah, we're gonna basically let you create,
24:04
every everyone who who is a celebrity or whatever. Anybody, any company, you have a private key. And so anytime there's media out there, You can sign the sign the media with your private keys that only you've controlled
24:16
to say, yes, this is real. I actually said this. I actually vouch for this. I actually created this. I actually endorsed this.
24:24
And what's gonna happen is that in the future, media that doesn't have that's digital signature,
24:29
is gonna be seen as untrustworthy. And so what they did with the blockchain was very smart, was they
24:34
let anybody create their keys, their digital signatures so that they can sign off on these. And have it encoded that, yes, I indeed did say this. Do say this. I endorse this. I allowed for this. So that's gonna be a big deal.
24:51
Alright. Number four.
24:54
AI tutors.
24:55
So, education is obviously a big space. How amazing would it be if everybody had their own AI tutor? So everybody had a patient,
25:03
infinitely intelligent,
25:06
tutor who's going to
25:08
let them just take a picture of the problem that you're trying to solve. You can ask me to explain it. You can ask me for in more examples. You can ask me to go slower. You can ask me to go faster.
25:18
You can
25:19
I the tutor can quiz you after they've explained it to you to make sure that you understand the concept?
25:24
The tutor can draw diagrams. The tutor can animate diagrams
25:27
faster than any human tutor could.
25:30
Better than anyone could on a chalkboard.
25:32
And, and ultimately, they can keep track of what you have mastery on and where you need work, and it can kind of customize a curriculum
25:38
that fits you versus just you going by the book of whatever whatever the herd is trying to learn right now. And so I think an amazing thing that's gonna happen is that we're gonna get these AI tutors that are really gonna help,
25:51
you know, help teach you. And I think this is one of the big use cases of chat GPT today. It's like, sort of like homework shortcuts. But I think part of those shortcuts are gonna be not just do it for you, but,
26:01
explain it Explain it to me if I wanna learn. Right? And so you're not gonna be able to force people to learn, but for the people who do wanna learn, I think an AI tutor is gonna be a a kind of a game changer. I know for me, I used to love watching Khan Academy videos anytime I had a question because Sal Khan is just an amazing teacher. He could teach millions of people because he's patient. He's clear.
26:20
He, has a very good little drawing setup.
26:23
This is what's gonna happen with AI. We're gonna have Salcon for all of us. Some that are funny. Some that are good at math. Some that are good at,
26:30
really slow explanations. Some that are very advanced and very keep you on your toes. Gonna have different AI tutors to choose from. Okay. Number
26:42
three.
26:43
Call center accent changes. This is a fun one. So,
26:47
a lot of customer service help, as we know, is offshore. It's cheaper. That's why businesses do it. However, there's one big cost that. You know, people get enraged when you call, you know, you're calling Dell for help and, you know, all of a sudden, you're getting Arjune in India who says, hey, hey, it's Arjune from Dell, and he's got the accent, and he doesn't quite understand what you're saying. The connection isn't great. Blah blah blah. Well, there's companies right now that are doing AI accent removal. So what they're doing is
27:14
they
27:15
the got origins in India But when he talks, he sounds like Adam in, you know, California.
27:21
Because on the fly, they're able to adjust
27:24
using AI, his voice so that he doesn't have the accent. And so think about it. If you're a company, would you not pay an extra, whatever, five percent, ten percent to be able to remove accents from all of your your customer support people so that,
27:40
you know, you have higher NPS, higher
27:42
higher customer service scores and less less issues and complaints, of course. Of course, you will. And so,
27:49
now you you multiply that across a very big industry of customer support. And that's the that's that's one really specific way that you take this techno technology unlock.
27:59
Of, you know, being able to imitate anyone's voice, and you apply it in a business context.
28:08
So number two.
28:10
I had to do it.
28:12
I had to do it. You know me.
28:14
I'm the guy who's been telling you that only fans was gonna be a big business for for years now.
28:19
Ai porn. Oh, aka the fantasy factory. So porn is one of the biggest markets in the world.
28:25
Historically, porn has been a early adopter of new technology. So video streaming, you know, early on was used for porn.
28:32
Online payments early on was used for porn. And so porn has been an early adopter of many new technologies.
28:39
And I think there's a big benefit for AI porn. So first, I think on the consumer side, you're gonna have on the demand side,
28:45
you have infinite personalization to your Have you ever gone to a porn site and seen how many categories there are? There's, like, a trillion categories. Why? Because there's a trillion fantasies that people have that they're looking for. And,
28:57
You know what? Whatever however number of categories they have, there's probably actually room for a hundred times more. Right? Because that's just what they're able to service. That's not actually the limitations of what people want or what interested in. And so infinite personalization
29:11
is is the first thing. So what exactly is your thing? We can provide that to you. That's gonna beat out somebody else who just says, here's what I have. Do you like it? Right? So it's like the difference between, you know, going to blockbuster back in the day and seeing twenty five movies on the shelf versus Netflix or Amazon, which have an infinite shelf.
29:31
It's the difference between, you know,
29:33
watching, you know, one episode of America's funniest home videos versus opening up TikTok anytime you want, spiping getting personalized
29:39
entertainment, bite sized entertainment for you in an infinite for an infinite scroll. Right? Like, it's one is a lot more powerful and and and,
29:48
and and
29:49
will satisfy demand much better.
29:52
Okay. Then the supply side,
29:54
AI porn, I believe, is more ethical. So, you know, just the, like, the way we have plant based proteins and cruelty free makeup and vegan leather.
30:01
No humans are gonna be harmed in the production of this video. Right? Like, I think that,
30:05
the idea that we could
30:07
satisfy the demand for porn without
30:10
subjecting people to the lifestyle of being a porn professional
30:14
is is that what they call themselves porn for porn?
30:17
I like how they don't call themselves porn professional, porn stars. I like that.
30:22
I'm a business star, not an entrepreneur.
30:25
Yeah, so I think that's gonna happen. And then I think for the companies, it drops your cogs down. Right? So, like, You don't have to worry about,
30:33
all the takedown notices and and copyright issues and lawsuits that you're gonna have that you have from,
30:38
from people uploading stolen works or having to share revenue with all the production companies.
30:44
The it's gonna drop down to whatever the cost is of the GPU to create the thing. Right? That's that's what it's gonna drop down to. And so
30:51
I believe, you know, if you ever go wanna go down a rabbit hole, go look up the company MindGeek in Canada, They own all the porn sites. That's a, you know, a multi, multi billion dollar conglomerate. Just ship spinning off tons and tons of cash.
31:04
Somebody's gonna do somebody's gonna go after that market with AI, and I think they will win because, again,
31:11
way more powerful tool to satisfy demand
31:14
Way lower cogs and more ethical supply, that's a winning formula.
31:19
This data is wrong every freaking time.
31:22
Have you heard of HubSpot?
31:24
HubSpot is a CRM platform where everything is fully integrated. Well, I can see the client's whole history, calls, support tickets, emails, and here's a test from three days ago, I totally missed.
31:36
Hubspot, grow better.
31:43
Alright. Now we're here. Number one.
31:45
This is it. This is the winner of my list. Okay. This is the number one biggest opportunity, and I hate to be that guy. That's, like, this is the biggest opportunity of our lifetimes. Right? Like timeshare guy.
31:55
All the timeshare guys who are now YouTubers who are just selling the biggest the biggest next big thing.
32:00
But in those games, I think it's actually warranted. I mean,
32:03
AI is a big, pretty freaking deal. Right? Like, you gotta be nuts to be denying that at this point. And,
32:09
within AI, this is what I genuinely believe is the biggest opportunity. So let me just rewind for a second. If you think about the previous waves, I count four waves
32:18
in my lifetime
32:19
of
32:20
giant sort of inflections or opportunities, the the sort of, like, the big gold rush moments, the huge tidal waves that you could go surf as an entrepreneur. So the first one was early internet. Right? And now you have what they used to call the Information Super Highway. If you remember that Dorothy phrase, But it was right. Information was the thing, the ability to find anything.
32:41
And there's really two big winners. So Google and Amazon were the two biggest winners of the information
32:46
find anything
32:47
paradigm.
32:48
And what you could do is, you know, Google lets you go find any information, and Amazon lets you go find any stuff And those two created a trillion dollars or more more than a trillion dollars, almost two trillion dollars of value just on those two companies alone out of the information way.
33:03
Second wave you then got was communication. So it started with email, but then quickly became all social networking social media. So Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Snapchat,
33:12
pinterest, WhatsApp, YouTube, all of that. Right? So the ability for people to communicate with each other.
33:18
And this even extended, by the way, to, like, Riders connected communicating with drivers, right, and Uber, basically, the ability to say, I need a ride. And somebody'll say, I have a ride for you. Right? That connecting the dot human coordination and communication
33:30
was the big second wave. And again,
33:32
a trillion dollars plus of market value created out of that communication wave that
33:37
came.
33:38
Okay. Then what's come next? And then you had the value wave. And this was now we're talking,
33:43
early twenty tens up to, like, basically the last decade. Twenty ten to twenty twenty.
33:48
And this is
33:49
crypto. So Bitcoin, Ethereum, just those two alone are a trillion dollars of value that got created. Right? The best investment you could make since that the year I graduated twenty ten would have been into Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those are that is the best asset that that was created them as high performer.
34:06
And, again, so we had digital information,
34:09
then we had digital communication,
34:11
then we had digital value,
34:14
And so, you know, the ability to have a digital money and digital value. And so now what's the next one? The what's number four? Right? Coming into the twenty twenties, going for twenty twenty or twenty thirty, what's gonna be the next one? I believe it's digital intelligence. So that's AI.
34:28
Okay. So who's gonna be the Bitcoin? Who's gonna be the Google? Who's gonna be the Facebook? Of the intelligence
34:33
Well, so far, we've seen, you know, Nvidia make chips. They've done extremely well. We've seen OpenAI become almost a hundred billion dollar company,
34:41
by training these models that you can use for AI applications.
34:45
And I think those are great, but I think there's gonna be more. And the one that I think is missing,
34:51
is,
34:53
you know, I had two kind of that I was thinking about. The first one was self driving cars because I'm like, okay. That's a you know, driving is a huge part of of human life. And when that goes self driving, you're gonna have safer, more efficient, more comfortable, more entertainment,
35:07
You're gonna have a better ride experience, and that's gonna obviously change the way that cars work. Right? Cars are parked ninety percent of the time, but when they're self driving, you're gonna park a car and you're gonna say, go make me money car, and the car's gonna go drive around and be an Uber for people picking people up. Right? So just a game changer in terms of how this works. We're gonna need less cars, which means we need less parking, which means we need different roads and city structures. There's a whole bunch of things that can change.
35:31
As I was thinking about that, I thought about a bigger opportunity.
35:35
The bigger opportunity is
35:37
actually related. I was like, oh man, self driving cars are gonna be great because you just get in the car and you just say your destination.
35:44
And then the car is gonna figure out all the things to do to get you to your goal. So I just say I'm trying to, hey, take me to Starbucks. It's gonna say, great. Look up the nearest Starbucks. Find the address and put the address to navigation. Turn the car on. Shift years from park to drive. Accelerate, stop at the stop sign, signal, turn, shift lanes, exit the highway, whatever. Right? All of the middle steps is gonna create a list, and it's gonna do them. And what I realized was that's not gonna stop at just cars that the biggest opportunity is
36:12
the self doing to do list just like we have the self driving car.
36:17
And what's the self doing to do list? The self doing to do list is gonna be
36:21
well, all of our productivity today comes from basically the following
36:25
the following system.
36:26
Person thinks about what they want, goal,
36:29
then they create a list of actions that they think will move them in the direction of that goal, and then they do those action. And the the extent to which you hit your goals is based on your ability to, like, know what you want, create the list of things you need to do to get there and then actually do the list. I think what AI is gonna do is actually change how that works.
36:48
It's actually going to let you just say what you want.
36:51
AI will then generate the list,
36:53
and then it'll just do it. And so and we've seen this, by the way. So the what this is called is, right now, they're calling this agents. And agents might end up being the information superhighway, like a a word, you know, that that gets phased out over time. But
37:07
here's the the simple model. We've all used chat GPT where you type something in and it gives you an answer. And the better question you ask, the better answer it'll give you or the You have to know what to prompt it to do. It's if you don't do anything, it's just gonna sit there. It's gonna do absolutely nothing for you.
37:20
Whereas,
37:21
there's a new model.
37:23
Called AI agents. What AI agents are based on is that you don't need to tell it you don't need to ask it specific questions or give it specific instructions for a task. All you need to do is tell the AI what you want as your goal. And what you want as your goal
37:37
is,
37:38
let's just take an example.
37:40
Hey,
37:41
I run a
37:43
e commerce business, and I wanna reduce,
37:47
my inventory waste. Okay. So I'm gonna reduce my I'm gonna make my inventory more efficient.
37:52
So the AI could then generate a list of things to do. Analyze the, inventory to find the highest fast movers and slow movers. And then it will take the, slow movers and it will put them on sale. It will take the fast movers and it will analyze, you know, what you're lacking,
38:08
you know, where there's more demand than than you have supply in stock. It'll put create a purchase order, send the purchase order to the factory. And get the next order delivered for you. So you could see in theory
38:18
how
38:19
you'd be able to just say a goal and have the AI create a list and then do it. Another,
38:25
you know, silly example, let's say I wanted to lose fifteen pounds. Well, we all know to lose fifteen pounds. What you need to do is
38:31
You need to, you know,
38:33
burn more calories than you're going to to consume.
38:36
Well, in theory, AI is gonna be able to help you do that. So you're gonna say I wanna lose weight, and it's gonna say
38:41
We are gonna take your current weight. We're gonna then create a calorie meal plan of, how many calories you're supposed to intake per day and how many you're supposed to burn per day. Gonna create a workout plan for you. It's gonna create a, a meal plan for you. It's gonna then take the meal plan. It's gonna create, break that down into break the recipes down into ingredients. It's gonna go on to instacart. It's gonna order the ingredients to your house for you.
39:02
And, you know, there you go. Right? So it's gonna take you as far as can. It's not gonna be able to do every single thing in the real world until you have a robot sitting in your house. That's gonna then take those groceries and it's gonna prepare the meal for you. Right? Like Jetson style. And we're talking about in the future, but, like,
39:17
this is the future. Like, I mean,
39:20
dude, I used to have This I'm holding up my phone, like, my cell phone right now that I can use to run my business to entertain myself endlessly for hours to play video games, to navigate to all around the world. Like, I can I can pay for things on this? I don't need my wallet. It's insane. Right? This thing this thing is insane to twelve year old me. Twelve year old me is not that long ago. That's twenty years ago or whatever. It's like, t twelve year old me would be mind blown because twelve year old me had just gotten their first computer in their house. We used to have a computer room.
39:49
It was like a room in our house called the computer room. And whoever wanted to use a computer had to go to the computer when you're in the computer room, then we got the internet through a CD from AOL.
39:58
And then when we had that, you used to have to pick and choose. Do you want to be able to receive phone calls as a house or do you wanna be on the internet? Because if somebody picked up the phone when you were on the internet, you would like disconnect from the internet and they would hear crazy internet sounds.
40:11
Like, You it was insane. Like, you know, the the way that we were when I, you know, when I started on the internet to what now holding my iPhone fifteen Pro Max with, you know, wireless internet while I'm driving or on an airplane
40:23
is mind blowing. And so all I'm asking you to do is just sort of think twenty years in the future. The idea that we're gonna have, you know, our
40:31
Jetson's robot in our house, and we're gonna be able to tell her to do list just what our wishes and dreams are. And then it's gonna create the list and do them. That's the big idea.
40:39
That is the big idea. That is the idea that is mind blowing. That's also the idea that scares people, by the way, because
40:46
you know, the thought experiment is someone says, hey, I wanna
40:50
maximize,
40:51
you know, what's it? The paperclip example. I wanna maximize the production of paperclips or sales paperclips, and it's like, okay.
40:58
Great. The AI, it got your goal, and it doesn't care what comes in the way. Right? It's gonna start shredding cars to create scrap metal to produce more paper clips. Right? It will it will do anything to hit that goal. And so that's the scary part about AI. And now I'm not the guy to do the AI safety conversation and the AI ethics conversation. That's not me.
41:17
I'm an idea guy.
41:18
I'm thinking about how technology can do really cool things that will improve people's lives. And then, of course, as we do them, we're gonna need to put in guide, you know, guardrails and guidelines and be able to not, you know, crush all of civilization in the process. But, that's kind of a debbie downer. I'm not really looking to get into that conversation. What I'm excited about is a future where
41:38
work gets done for you. That's what's gonna come from the intelligence wave that's different than the value wave, the communication wave, or the information wave. The intelligence wave is gonna do intelligent things. It's gonna use its brain for you. Right? It's got this right side of the AI brain that could do creative shit It can draw. It can write. It can sing. It can make songs. It can rap. It can do anything. And then on the left side, it's got this like informational analytical brain that can You dump in a PDF and it'll summarize it for you in a second. It'll generate a P and L for your business. It'll give you advice, a strategic advice on your taxes. Right? Like, It could do all these things that are highly, let's say, left brain. And so now we have this AI intelligence brain and the ideas that I came up with or just my first pass at what's gonna come from this. I wanna hear what you're gonna do. I mean, I'm investing in this space. If you're doing something cool, reach out to me, sean at seanpourri dot com, I wanna hear what your ideas are. And I wanna hear what you think about these. Go in the YouTube comments and let me know because
42:32
that's it. Those are my ideas from ten to one. I hope you liked it. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope I started a little bonfire in your brain. Alright. I'm out of here.
00:00 43:01
