The Startup Ideas Podcast

AI Success = Knowing What Questions to Ask
The primary bottleneck in AI effectiveness is not the tool's capability but the user's knowledge of what questions to ask and how to prompt properly
Decision Rule
Invest time learning to ask the right questions rather than learning to use multiple AI tools
How It Works
Domain expertise translates into better prompts, which produce better AI outputs, creating compounding advantages over generic users
Failure Modes
Focusing on tools rather than questions
Asking generic questions and getting generic results
Not iterating on prompts based on domain knowledge
Example Decision
“Instead of learning 10 SEO tools, learn to ask Claude specific questions like 'audit this site for schema markup issues' or 'create location pages with local landmarks'”
