Shaan Puri used AI music generator Suno to create a folk/Americana character named Noah Flan — the off-brand Noah Kahan — who sings potty training anthems for his daughter. The result: 'Let It Flow,' a surprisingly catchy song that actually worked. He's now building an entire library of AI-generated songs for parenting milestones.

At Fly Fish, Sam encounters Jack's Dining Room — a 22-year-old food creator with tens of millions of followers and a brand ecosystem called YesChef spanning guides, festivals, a run club, and thousand-dollar private jet culinary experiences attended by Machine Gun Kelly and Leonardo DiCaprio. Sam is immediately struck not by the business model but by the asset underneath it: trust. [1] — Sam Parr "As AI floods the internet with fake content, trust becomes the scarcest resource.

Sam argues podcasters like himself and Shaan are well-positioned because audiences know they are real humans. But Jack has something rarer: food trust at scale. Every one of Jack's 10 million likes is a person who would drive an hour to try a restaurant he recommended. Sam's pitch: build Jack's List — a Yelp competitor where Jack's single pick in any city is the answer, with no noise, no fake reviews. Jack hedges; Sam offers to build it himself and give Jack 10-20%.
As AI floods the internet with fake content, trust becomes the scarcest resource. Food creator Jack's Dining Room has built a goldmine of it — millions of followers who trust his restaurant picks. Sam Parr pitched him to build a Yelp competitor powered by a single trusted voice: one list, one pick per city, no noise. Jack passed. Sam offered to build it himself.
Food creator Jack's Dining Room, aged 22-23, has tens of millions of followers and a full ecosystem of brands under YesChef.
Shaan argues that as AI-generated deepfakes flood the internet, trust will become the scarcest and most valuable resource of the next decade.
AI can now generate hyper-realistic influencer characters with consistent faces, jewelry, and style — and flood social media with them indefinitely. Within 12 months, we're heading into peak fakeness. When everything is easy to fake, the people who are verifiably real become exponentially more valuable.
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.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
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.
