The Creative Process Has Changed

My use of AI tools increases month over month. My deep-dive into AI in 2023 and into 2024 has proven to me that AI is more than just a mere augment to workflow and productivity… it’s fundamentally changing what ‘creativity’ looks like.

1. Analogue business building is a known-known. We’ve covered this before. It is merely the increase in cycle-time of execution to results that is the necessary action to uncover the unknowns.
2. Digital business business building is a known known too. This is why fully digital conferences like the Full Stack Business Builder conference have emerged: Bring experts to the world frequently.

Can You Fully Develop a Digital Business with AI?

This was the question to solve, and the answer is yes.

By the time we’re a quarter through 2025, this entire list will change and evolve into even better tools and platforms… but for now, this is how you fully build-out-and-launch a digital business idea using AI:

1. Scrape AngelList, ProductHunt, and TechCrunch using Bright Data’s web unlocker to understand all of the current project ideas out there.
2. Feed data into Claude and GPT-4 for multi-model trend analysis and gap identification to understand where opportunities exist.
3. Use Ahrefs to find high-volume, low-competition keywords in emerging niches. Trend analysis will help here. Market sentiment going UP is always good.
4. Leverage Exploding Topics Pro for early trend detection. More market trends data. Don’t miss out on social data.
5. Use Gummysearch to find trending Subreddits (and painpoints, solution requests). Search topics are great. Find basement dwellers willing to actually spend the time commenting and socializing market trends and growth…
6. Analyze Fiverr API for trending freelance service requests. Services follow demand. Think of how large the Salesforce secondary market is…
7. Deploy SerpApi to analyze Google’s “People Also Ask” for unmet needs. Check out Ask the Public as well.
8. Use Roam Research with Elicit Al integration for enhanced note-taking and research. Summarizing findings in large data sets gives actionable hypothesis to execute on.
9. Use SpyFu to find your competitors’ most profitable keywords. You’re not re-inventing the wheel here. You’re rapidly building an app into an existing market that has KPIs that you can take advantage of.
10. Generate industry-specific ideas with Anthropic’s Claude Al. You can cycle through tons of solid feature-rich ideas here.
11. Validate concepts with SurveyMonkey’s Audience panel. Get feedback quickly!
12. Analyze competitors with SimilarWeb’s digital marketing intelligence. They know.
13. Use Google Patents to scrape recent filings in emerging tech. I had an opportunity to invest in a startup with a patent. I’ll do it again. They have defensibility worth investing in … usually.
14. Feed patent data into GPT-4 for plain English summaries. Find the permutations of what exists out there!
15. Leverage PatSnap’s Al for technology trend forecasting. Know more about where the market is headed.
16. Use Semantic Scholar to scrape latest research papers. There are experts who know more than you about your market. Tap into their knowledge or reach out to them directly for more information. They may end up wanting to help you build it…
17. Implement Iris.ai for Al-powered research exploration. This allows you to know who else is out there researching your domain or industry.
18. Use Everlaw’s Al to analyze upcoming legislative changes. This should always be a consideration.
19. Use Glimpse to track cultural shifts and predict future demand. Check out their global search functionality.
20. Prototype with Webflow’s advanced interactions and animations. Why hire engineers when you can make it yourself?
21. Test landing pages with Unbounce’s Smart Traffic Al. There are tons of AI landing page builders out there now. Just search for them.
22. Run micro-tests on Reddit and Twitter using Phantombuster. More cycle-time of feedback!
23. Analyze feedback with Viable’s Al-powered insights platform. Why read each one when you can summarize?
24. Use RapidAPI to analyze trending and newly released APls. More data pipelines into you.
25. Implement ThingSpeak to collect and analyze loT sensor data. If you have hardware considerations and scale.
26. Use Midjourney, and DALL-E 3 for product concept visualization (or use humans at DesignScientist.com). There are even more than this. Infinite possibilities here.
27. Leverage Nexus Al for complex system analysis and opportunity mapping. This will help you build out your pitch deck.
28. Use Premise for real-time, on-the-ground data collection globally. Keep track of trends here.
29. Implement Marbox’s Vision SDK for AR-enhanced location services. You’ll want to utilize location services for your applications. Worth.
30. Use OpenCorporates API to track new business registrations in emerging sectors. It’s time to get ready to create your entity if you’re going to execute.

*Per usual, I have not linked any of these sites due to spam implications.

The TL;DR is this – you can now fully build out your digital product/service/idea with AI and tools.

I can do all of this in less than a week (mostly due to feedback cycle-time).

I’m helping startups use AI and in 2025 I’ll be bringing in AI speakers to help startups build faster in the community. ← I’ll see you there.

I can’t wait.

All the best,
ps
