For organizations in the East Bay, CA who are interested in learning more about how to use AI -- I'm hosting a free workshop on Aug 13th at noon in Albany.

It is free but you must be a business owner or running an org.

An owner ran this on her own address and found a dense pocket of her exact customers sitting just past her rush-hour reach. Never on her radar.
She pushed hours later two nights a week and pointed ads at who could actually get to her. See your own reach: https://t.co/nqCx6Hu7MX

There are neighborhoods full of your ideal customers who will never walk in, and it has nothing to do with your prices or product.

It's a left turn they won't make at 5pm.

From your counter, a customer who never showed and one who can't reach you look the same. Empty.

Prediction 4-2 US

[Chuck Temple @startuptosold]

Everyone's adopting AI. Almost no one is profiting from it.

88% of companies use it. 39% see it in earnings. 5% capture real value.

The model isn't the problem. We bolt AI on instead of rebuilding the business around it.

We've done this before:

First East Bay AI meetup was great, a room full of real builders and operators.

Everyone wanted less watching, more doing. So #2 you drive it: tell me what to work on, we do it live.

I built this system after watching a focus group video by @IMJustinBrooke. Biggest Takeaway is to never ask the persona for a rating since they will always gather in the middle.

[How To Prompt @HowToPrompt__]

A toothpaste company has quietly killed the entire market research industry and nobody is talking about it.

Colgate published a paper showing you can predict real purchase intent at 90% accuracy by simply asking LLMs to roleplay customers.

And this is beyond insane.

If you ask an AI, "Rate this product from 1 to 5," it gives safe, middle-of-the-road garbage.

So researchers invented a method called Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR).

Instead of asking the AI for a number, they asked it to roleplay.

They gave the LLM a demographic profile. They showed it a product concept. And they asked it to write down its raw, unfiltered thoughts.

Then, they used a semantic model to translate those written thoughts into a numerical score.

The results are staggering.

Tested against 57 real corporate surveys and 9,300 actual human responses, the synthetic AI consumers matched real human buying behavior with 90% reliability.

They perfectly mirrored how different age brackets and income levels react to price changes.

And they provided detailed, qualitative feedback that was deeper and more critical than what actual humans wrote.

This destroys the economics of traditional market research.

You don't need to wait a month to see if a product will sell.

You can simulate 1,000 hyper-targeted customer interviews overnight.

You can A/B test pricing across every demographic instantly.

@garrytan What tool/ repo /company is closest to creating the deeply personal context layer requried for personal AI?

[Chuck Temple @startuptosold]

Starting a free monthly lunch meetup in the East Bay for people who actually use AI to run their own business. Solo founders, builders, operators.

First one: Wed June 10, 12 to 1:30, Albany. I demo my AI orchestrator, then open floor.

I showed my kids a few minutes of Star Wars before a Disneyland trip. They got obsessed. A fifty-year-old movie grabbed them instantly. Why?

I think they can feel which future is actually coming. I wrote about it: https://t.co/uvuEWdOiZT
