You're Using AI Wrong. Here's How to Fix It

🚨MY NEWSLETTER https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribe 🚨 Join me, Nik ( https://x.com/CoFoundersNik ), as I interview Amanda Orson ( https://x.com/amandaorson ), a serial entrepreneur who has successfully scaled her company, Galleon, a real estate marketplace, to $60,000 a month in monthly recurring revenue by deeply leveraging AI, rather than a massive team. In this episode, we dive into the next frontier of AI: moving beyond basic efficiency to genuinely agentic applications that act as a Socratic mirror or even a board member for your business. We discuss how to get AI to prompt you with critical questions, rather than just validating your existing ideas, which is crucial for high-leverage decision-making. Amanda also shares her practical approach, including how she sets up AI projects in platforms like Claude and ChatGPT, using powerful tools like her strategic context prompt and the game-changing anti-sycophant prompt to ensure unbiased feedback. Questions This Episode Answers: • What is agentic AI and how does it fundamentally differ from standard LLMs? • How can you configure AI to provide unbiased, challenging feedback for critical business decisions? • What's the most effective way to set up AI projects in tools like Claude or ChatGPT for persistent, strategic support? • How can strategic context prompts be used to ensure AI understands your unique business details and challenges? • Is it possible to "interview" specific experts or historical figures through AI by training it with their transcripts or writings?
