Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Amanda Orson (https://x.com/amandaorson), a serial entrepreneur who has successfully scaled her company, Galleon, a real estate marketplace, to $60,000 a month in monthly recurring revenue by deeply leveraging AI, rather than a massive team.

In this episode, we dive into the next frontier of AI: moving beyond basic efficiency to genuinely agentic applications that act as a Socratic mirror or even a board member for your business. We discuss how to get AI to prompt you with critical questions, rather than just validating your existing ideas, which is crucial for high-leverage decision-making.

Amanda also shares her practical approach, including how she sets up AI projects in platforms like Claude and ChatGPT, using powerful tools like her strategic context prompt and the game-changing anti-sycophant prompt to ensure unbiased feedback.

Questions This Episode Answers:

• What is agentic AI and how does it fundamentally differ from standard LLMs?

• How can you configure AI to provide unbiased, challenging feedback for critical business decisions?

• What's the most effective way to set up AI projects in tools like Claude or ChatGPT for persistent, strategic support?

• How can strategic context prompts be used to ensure AI understands your unique business details and challenges?

• Is it possible to "interview" specific experts or historical figures through AI by training it with their transcripts or writings?

Enjoy the conversation!
