Podbit · Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast
The original 1956 AI project at Dartmouth tried to codify all logic into rules and failed spectacularly. It wasn't until 2012's AlexNet paper that researchers switched to copying how the brain works — and accidentally built something they can no longer see inside.

Milo describes 'Am I?' as a documentary about AI consciousness anchored by his friendship with Cam, a college buddy who became one of the world's foremost AI consciousness researchers. Cam's urgent pitch: this conversation is about to explode, and if they don't start documenting it now, it will be old news before the film is done. The compromise was a podcast running alongside filming. When they finished the cut and secured unexpected funding from Daniel Brockman — described as a 'skitzed-out dude from Thailand' with cat ears and a taste for Coronas — marketing agencies told them their budget was laughably small. The billboard idea struck Milo at 6 AM while exhausted, and the rest is podcast history. The conversation opens up to why AI's emotional charge makes nuance so hard.
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.
