THE APPETIZER

So before I go into everything Ai. in the world, I figured I might as well kick us off with something a bit more human and motivating….. It started with me realizing that IT IS ALREADY MARCH PEOPLE! I simply cannot believe it. SOoOoO….. I started digging as to why time seems to now be moving so fast the older I get…. Well it turns out, it's SCIENCE. A dose of science that is actually inspiring. The TLDR - The less we create new memories, the faster time goes by. When you’re growing up, everyday seems like a new experience, which loaded our brains to train them to adapt to new ones. The more we see the same things, the faster time goes by….. 

So if that is not motivation to go out and do something different, idk what is. Go out there, do something new, make a new friend, create a new experience, launch that new company. 

And as always, enjoy my sauce,

THE MAIN COURSE

How to become irreplaceable with ai. 

AI, EVERYTHING, ALL AT ONCE, EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. 

Please remember for the main course that none of this newsletter has EVER been touched by Ai. That is my promise to you, forever and always. 😘

SHOULD YOU BE AFRIAD OF AI REPLACING YOU? 

Simply N.O. However, there is the reality of the state of the world….. 

• Yes: There have been a series of corporate layoffs due to “investments in ai”. 

• Yes: Ai can work faster and more efficiently than any human could ever hope to. 

• Yes: ai could potentially take over the world…..

• But not OUR world ☝. Why? Because I am about to show you how to become an Ai. Superhuman

THE BASICS: 

For those of you that are already Ai. professionals, you can skip this part because you already know the download. For those of you who are just starting your Ai. journey out, I have outlined the key lingo to know to pretend to know what you are talking about. 

Key AI Terminology:

• GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers): These are AI models trained to understand and generate human-like text. Think of them as advanced autocomplete on steroids, capable of drafting essays, answering questions, and even cracking jokes.

• Wrappers: Applications or interfaces that enhance the functionality of existing AI models, making them more accessible or tailored to specific tasks.

• LLMs (Large Language Models): Expansive AI models trained on vast amounts of text data, enabling them to perform a wide range of language-related tasks, from translation to content creation.

• Tokens: The smallest units of text (often parts of words or punctuation) that an AI model processes. By breaking language into these bite-sized chunks, models can more effectively understand context and generate coherent responses.

🛠️ AI TOOLS

🤖 AI MODELS

Wrappers: 

Think of these like the app store but for your ai software of choice. The boosted add-on’s to supercharge your productivity and to build your own unique model to wield your new superhuman strength. To make it easy for yah I have listed out some of my favorites below: '

🚀 AI WRAPPERS

🤖 Leveraging AI as an Entrepreneur

Running a startup feels like piloting a plane you're still building mid-flight. Thankfully, you now have AI as your co-pilot. Without the extra overhead or having to deal with employees. 

Here’s how to use it to put your growth on autopilot:

Automate the Mundane (Seriously, Just Stop Doing It Yourself)
Stop wasting valuable brainpower on repetitive tasks.

• Zapier lets you link apps together, automating tasks like customer onboarding, social posts, and invoicing—giving you more time to handle the things robots can’t (like deciding where to go for happy hour).

Deep Market Research (Know Your Customer Better Than They Know Themselves)
Gone are the days of spending weeks sifting through data. Thanks to OpenAI’s new Advanced Data Analysis (ADA) features, you can:

• Instantly crunch massive datasets, revealing hidden market trends.

• Test hypotheses in seconds (without ever opening an Excel spreadsheet again).

• Predict consumer behavior and stay ahead of the curve—because if you're on time, you're late.

The one caveat is that it does require their $200/mo subscription and I will tell you first hand…. It is WORTH IT. 

Sales & Outreach Automation (Make yourself into a one person salesforce)
AI transforms sales from a chore into a science. It can take you from just one person trying to knock down the door of revenue to an army acting in unison. 

Leverage tools like: 

• Apollo.io for AI-assisted sales flow automation, personalized outreach, and intelligent lead scoring.

• Lavender.ai to write emails people actually want to open without sounding like a 1980s infomercial.

• Taplio for automated engagement on Linkedin for your top prospects. 

Build an MVP - (Even if You Can't Code)

With AI, coding becomes optional (seriously):

• GitHub Copilot generates code snippets and completes your coding thoughts—even if your coding experience peaked at MySpace HTML.

• Bubble (a no-code builder) combined with ChatGPT prompts lets you create fully-functional apps and websites, allowing you to go from zero to Zuckerberg in record time.

• Lovable (a no-code builder) that instantly can generate an entire app / webapp in minutes with simple prompts. 

Personalized Marketing & Content Creation (Become a Content Machine)
You don’t need an army of marketers, camera equipment, and a content squad  to be an influencer anymore….you just need the right tools:

• Jasper AI creates hyper-targeted marketing copy that converts.

• Midjourney and DALL·E produce stunning visuals without hiring a design team.

• Use Beehiiv AI to auto-generate engaging newsletter content that feels human (or at least more human than your ex).

Enhanced Customer Support (Your 24/7 AI Assistant)
Humans need sleep; AI doesn’t:

• Deploy AI chatbots (Intercom or Drift) to manage customer queries around the clock. Your customers feel heard, and you avoid late-night stress sessions trying to troubleshoot lost passwords.

💼 Leveraging AI as a W2 Employee

To all of you W2’s out there. I love yah. But man, you need to stop working so hard. 

Half the time (50%).... no one is paying attention, the other 25% of the time you are most likely just in slack or email and then the last 25% your looking at meme’s. Lets focus on optimizing that first 50% to make everyone leave you alone and think you are the most productive employee at the office. 

Get out of your inbox: (And Never Write "Per My Last Email" Again)
Stop wasting hours crafting the perfect corporate email:

• Grammarly GO or Superhuman AI drafts polished, professional responses in seconds, making you look more competent than your boss. (No promises on the raise, though).

Powerpoints Are Overrated. (Stop the late night stupid formatting fixes)
Forget pulling all-nighters on PowerPoint decks:

• Beautiful.AI generates sleek, AI-powered presentations in minutes.

• Gamma AI turns simple prompts into stunning visuals, saving your creativity for something more important….like your Fantasy Football lineup or a good meme. 

Be more productive…. Work less. (But no one will know) 

AI tools are your secret sauce to efficiency, allowing you to focus on tasks that actually require your brainpower:

• Use Notion AI to summarize lengthy documents, automate task management, and keep you organized when your manager inevitably isn't.

• Motion leverages AI-driven calendars to optimize your schedule, giving you more hours to scroll through LinkedIn looking at jobs you don’t plan to apply for.

Become a Data God. (Just watch out for all the incoming requests)
Who needs a degree in data science when you’ve got:

• OpenAI’s Advanced Data Analysis (ADA) which analyzes and visualizes massive datasets, so you can walk into meetings looking like an overpaid Mckinsey Consultant. 

• Tableau GPT Integration to turn those raw numbers into actionable dashboards. 

Release your inner Mark Twain (And save your keyboard)
Unless you are gifted with the writing gene, stop trying to sound smart. 

• Copy.ai creates engaging internal memos, reports, and updates in a fraction of the time, ensuring your emails don’t end up in the Slack channel titled "Emails We Hate."

• Jasper AI crafts engaging LinkedIn content, boosting your professional presence so recruiters start sliding into your DMs.

Automate the Boring Stuff (To Spend More Time Doing…Anything Else)
Free yourself from repetitive, mind-numbing tasks:

• Zapier or Make.com seamlessly integrates your daily apps (Google Sheets, Outlook, Salesforce), automating tasks that make you question your life choices.

FINAL THOUGHTS 

PHEW…. That was a lot. But as promised I have some special goodies for you. All you have to do to get them is respond to this email with “SAUCED UP” and I will send you two life changing ai resources to double down on everything I just told yah about. 

1. A comprehensive directory of AI tools and models. 

2. A list of 500 of the best prompts for GPT for all scenarios. 

PATTY’S PICKS

What you have all been waiting for: Ok so instead of me just saying imagine a Michellein version of “X” this time we got on dished up for you. Bet you can’t guess the bill though….Oh yeah I forgot to also add… it’s the best burger in San Diego. 

Enter TANNERS PRIME: The long awaited, much needed, best burger in San Diego: 

⭐️ Official Patty’s Picks Rating: 8.9

Why?

Because when a chef like: Brandon Roders  leaves the French Laundry to start a burger joint you simply just go. Yes, there will be a line. Yes, it is a far drive… Yes it is worth it. 

Patty’s Go To: 

At the price point of basically the price of an entree at a fine dining restaurant you can order the entire menu. So if you’re going with anyone other than just yourself, I recommend just ordering the entire damn thing. Take bites, enjoy, or gorge yourself till tomorrow. You won’t regret it.

Final Verdict

📍 Tanners Prime Burgers | Oceanside, California 🔗 Website

DOMAIN DADDY:

The Domain: www.OneLonelyLoad.com

Get your head out of the gutter….. And if you laughed at this you are obligated to let me know you did by emailing me back to let me know you did. 

The Idea:

This isn’t just laundry, it’s an existential metaphor.
It’s the human desire to be fresh, to be clean, to be never have just one lonely load…. 

Of laundry. 

The Market?

Laundry brands with massive marketing budgets and a sense of humor. Looking at you, Tide. Or Gain. Or literally any brand whose marketing teams are tired of explaining why their detergent removes stains better than the other guys'. Because who wouldn’t watch this oddly soothing livestream at 3 AM, waiting for something…..anything……to happen?

It’s laundry as performance art. It’s detergent as a cultural movement. It’s boredom elevated to brand brilliance.

The Tagline:

"The most compelling load of laundry you'll ever watch."

The Final Pitch:

Advertising doesn’t always need celebrities, explosions, or mascots. Sometimes, all you need is one lonely load and a world wondering, “Wait, seriously?” Give your brand the simplest, quirkiest, most hypnotic campaign ever, and watch as people inexplicably tune in, waiting for the rinse cycle like it’s the finale of Succession.

You know you want this. Your marketing team definitely wants this.
Someone call Tide…..it's time to wash away the competition.

See you at Art Basel with this one.
