Now that Dan Shipper has recorded 34 episodes of AI & I, we thought it was an opportune time to revisit some of the best advice shared for using AI. Rhea Purohit created this guide, filled with actionable tips from Ben Tossell of Ben’s Bites and Steph Smith of the a16z Podcast, about how you can use AI to mine the internet for business ideas.

Steph Smith and Ben Tossell are using AI to discover the right opportunities and capitalize on them without burning through money or time. On AI & I , Dan Shipper interviewed the two, prompting them to articulate their thesis.

He’s also an experienced founder whose no-code platform Makerpad was acquired by Zapier. (Every recently partnered with Ben’s Bites to offer paid subscribers a bundle of AI writing, courses, and software.)
