In this episode, I’m joined by Jacqueline Raich, CEO and founder of Primer – a beauty-tech startup designing a smart mirror powered by AI. Unlike the aesthetic filters on your phone’s photo apps, this physical mirror coaches you to achieve the look you want through customized makeup tutorials. As Jacqueline describes, it’s akin to applying makeup in the style of paint-by-numbers where your face becomes the canvas.
In our conversation, we discuss the origin story of Primer, the impact it will have on the beauty industry as well as its potential to help all people be more confident and comfortable applying makeup. Beyond the story of Primer, we discuss the challenges of being a first-time founder, and we share some generative AI tips like how to tweak prompts for ChatGPT and strategically leverage it as a thought partner.
