In this episode, @NikonomicsPodcast shares what he learned from 30+ conversations with entrepreneurs using AI in their businesses—what tools they’re using, what’s actually working, and some surprising patterns that came up. We also talk about how he built a full workflow using Google CoLab and OpenAI to analyze all the data. I also share my experiment with a real-world billboard ad for the podcast, how I’m testing taglines with Facebook ads, and different ways I’m tracking the results. We even get into some fun ideas around using AI for things like relationship advice and business mediation.
