I see that lean startup is just search, to find problems to solve. But it's also search to find people's foibles, blind spots and weaknesses when it comes to exchanging money. in some ways all of marketing and business is just this. Do we really want to 10x that?
And a 10x proliferation of 'experimental' products that popup and then probably disappear quickly.
It seems like this is just going to make a huge mess.
At the end of the day, the AI model would produce a prediction of what your modeled users would prefer. The quality of the results would depend a lot on how accurately your users were modeled.
I could see it potentially making an A/B test go faster IF the predictions were accurate.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone is using AI tools for A/B testing and how effective it is compared to conventional tools.
Haha!
As someone who does startup investment advisory, I started cutting through all the “AI for X” hype and asking directly for ARR and pipeline figures. Either your idea has paying customers or it just isn’t worth investing in, AI or not…
consider this amazing piece of advice:
Q: What advice would you give to inventors looking to integrate AI into their creative processes?
Blank: My advice for anyone in any part of their career is: Every six months, spend three days looking at the state of the art for the tools in and around your space.
