Had a random idea for a better dog bowl 🐶

Instead of letting it die in my Notes app, I dropped it into @napkin_ai.

Now I’ve got structure, a testable MVP, and momentum.

What’s your last forgotten idea?

AI isn’t coming for your job. It’s coming for your comfort zone. You either use AI to validate faster or promise to catch up later. The gap grows weekly. My newsletter shows how to test ideas before you spend $1. Read: lnkd.in/g_nVFXsF

You’re not overworked, you’re under-focused.
Most founders stay “busy,” but motion ≠ momentum.
Ask ChatGPT: “What 3 tasks today create the most momentum?”
Clarity wins. Do what matters first.

Before you build, ask: What are my competitors missing?
AI can map the market and expose the gaps.
Try:List top 10 [industry] products + key features. What’s missing?” That’s your edge. Comment “MAP” or DM me

Most inventions fail from too many features, not bad ideas. Extra buttons = extra cost + delay. Use AI to simplify:
ChatGPT: “Rank features by cost vs value.”
Perplexity: “What do users actually care about?”

❌ Don’t waste $2K making a “perfect” prototype.
✅ A prototype just needs to teach you something.

Use AI:
ChatGPT → “What’s the cheapest way to test [feature]?”
Perplexity → See how others solved it.

Most people don’t fail. They just never start.

Fear delays the idea. Then AI shows up… and doubles it.
