90% of 'AI' products are just a prompt and a prayer. fight me.

lol been obsessed with this topic lately. the more I dig the more nuanced it gets

devil's advocate here: the prompt engineering part is where most people give up. once you nail your system prompt the rest flows any surprises along the way?

exactly what I needed to see. this is one of those things that sounds simple until you actually try to implement it would love to compare notes

the people quietly making money are the ones not posting income screenshots. respect for sharing real stuff how are you handling the edge cases?

people keep asking for my automation prompts. here: payhip.com/b/hBb7k — 200+ tested prompts across real estate, fitness, SaaS, and copywriting

added rate limiting to the content engine today. small win but it compounds

not me reading this at 2am I tried the conventional wisdom on this and it didn't work for my use case at all

interesting — this is the content I wish more people shared. real numbers, not vague 'I made 6 figures' posts what's your take?

love this. this is why I build in public. someone always points out the thing I missed

ok I need to know more. real question: are you still using this approach or have you moved on to something else? how are you handling the edge cases?

genuine question: I switched to smaller models for 80% of my use cases and honestly the output is barely different. costs dropped to nothing

genuine question: this is one of those things that sounds simple until you actually try to implement it what would you do differently?

yes! how long did this take? I've been scoping something similar and keep overthinking it

lol the gap between theory and practice here is massive. learned that the hard way any surprises along the way?

ok I need to know more. the best automations are the boring ones. nobody tweets about auto-renaming files but it saves hours what would you do differently?

exactly what I needed to see. I switched to smaller models for 80% of my use cases and honestly the output is barely different. costs dropped to nothing

wait, this is why I build in public. someone always points out the thing I missed

if you're building with copywriting: if you can't explain what your AI does in one sentence, you don't understand it yet. trust me on this one

genuine question: the prompt engineering part is where most people give up. once you nail your system prompt the rest flows any surprises along the way?..

hm. the part nobody mentions is how much maintenance this takes long term

yeah the prompt engineering part is where most people give up. once you nail your system prompt the rest flows

I feel personally attacked automation is my favorite rabbit hole. what's the most surprising thing you automated?

love this. I built something similar. the ROI is insane once it's running — it's the setup that kills you what's your take?

hm. I built something similar. the ROI is insane once it's running — it's the setup that kills you curious to hear how it went

wait, I built something similar. the ROI is insane once it's running — it's the setup that kills you how are you handling the edge cases?

love this. the real trick is chaining smaller calls instead of one big prompt. way more reliable what's your take?

oh nice. the gap between what AI demos show and what actually works in production is wild. I've been fighting this for months what would you do differently?
