Podbit · The Rest Is Politics
A member of Burnham's staff told Rory Stewart that Burnham simply isn't interested in AI. For Rory, that is 'completely devastating' — because AI is the closest thing to a magic growth lever that any incoming PM could pull.

Alastair relays Malcolm Turnbull's live reaction from Australia — the speech was broadcast live on Australian TV, a remarkable indicator of international interest in a backbench MP. Turnbull's verdict: Burnham offers a politics of disruption that will appeal to angry Reform voters, while still being grounded in substance rather than pure populism. Peter Hyman's Substack provides the episode's most quotable framing: where Farage offers victimhood, Burnham offers agency; where Farage offers scapegoats, Burnham offers common purpose. Alastair then defends Burnham's choice not to take press questions after the speech, arguing it allowed serious media coverage to land without being immediately derailed by gotcha moments. Rory teases that Alastair himself previously attacked Boris and Rishi for the same tactic, prompting a spirited denial.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
