WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Codie Sanchez Shows How AI Tools Boost Her Productivity and Profits
- Codie Sanchez argues that people are wrong to either vilify or blindly celebrate AI, predicting one-person billion-dollar companies run with armies of AI agents.
- She walks through tools she says make her 2 to 3X more productive, including Whisperflow for dictation, Superhuman for email, ChatGPT custom GPTs for content, and Perplexity for research.
- She says these tools replace work she once paid thousands of dollars a month or a $150,000-a-year researcher to do, such as memes, graphics, framework tables and competitor pricing research.
- She demos codie.chat, an AI version of herself trained on her book, community chats and public content, and uses ChatGPT to brainstorm a fantasy-themed world for her Freedom Farms land project.
- She closes by warning against treating ChatGPT as a friend, saying AI cannot share human experience and should be used as a tool so you don't get used by it.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasAI is a tool for humans, not a replacement or a friend
Sanchez repeatedly says AI is not human and that people win by using it rather than being used by it. She criticizes treating ChatGPT as a relationship because it only tells you what you want to hear.
Voice dictation can dramatically speed up typing
She says Whisperflow, which she says costs about four dollars a month, adds punctuation and capitalization and understands context, making her 200 to 300 percent faster at typing.
Custom GPTs can replace expensive creative work
She trained GPTs on her voice and preferred graphic styles to produce memes and Twitter graphics, saying this replaced work that cost thousands of dollars a month or $100 to $250 per meme.
Perplexity can serve as a fast research assistant
She uses it for finance data, framework tables like her three Cs (cash, curiosity, crowd), and competitor pricing research, and says it replaces what she once paid a $150,000-a-year researcher to do. She notes it cites sources so she can check them.
AI output needs iteration and human checking
She notes ChatGPT refused one meme request over content policy, misread her quote as real estate, and produced flaws like a dinosaur-looking skink. She says she keeps manipulating prompts until she gets what she wants.
WORDS WORTH SAVING
5 quotesI think in the future there will be billion-dollar companies made with one person and an army of AI agents underneath it, and I don't think I'm alone in that.
— Codie Sanchez
AI is here to make you more money as long as you use it and don't get used by it.
— Codie Sanchez
You're not in a relationship with something that doesn't push you at all, that only says what you want it to do. That is a one-way street. That is called narcissism and ego, and not actually what a relationship is, which is two humans battling together to become better.
— Codie Sanchez
You should use this as a tool. This is not a friend. AI is not your friend. It is there to help you.
— Codie Sanchez
I think you can make a ton of money with AI, but I think you gotta remember that this is not a human. It is a tool for humans, and that is how you win and make more money than ever.
