Stop! Don't Build an AI App Confession time: I order from Uber Eats / DoorDash every day, especially after late nights at work. More often than not, I fall asleep scrolling through endless options, comparing restaurants, delivery times, ratings, and menu items. Imagine if Uber Eats or DoorDash had an AI that I could simply tell: - What I'm in the mood for - The exact ingredients I want - My price range - How soon I need it delivered And it already knows my allergies and preferences. This AI could do the heavy lifting, curating the exact result I need. It would dramatically reduce the time I spend scrolling and comparing, getting me to my desired outcome faster and with less effort. Here's the kicker: You don't need to build an AI app. You need to build an AI-enabled app. The best way to know where to integrate AI into your existing app (or app idea) is to identify: 1. Where your users want to go and be 2. What they don't want to do Then, see how AI can serve as the bridge to help them get there. It's not about replacing your app with AI. It's about enhancing your app's ability to solve problems and create value for your users. Are you sitting on an app idea or struggling with user engagement? Let's talk. Your solution might just need a strategic AI touch to transform user experience from frustration to delight. Shout out to Ibukunoluwa Adebayo , he properly coined that phrase “AI is an enabler”, which consisely expresses the strategy I have been advising Product Builders to emulate since this new AI wave . #AIIntegration #AppDevelopment #UserExperience #Innovation

From Chaos to Clarity A client came to me with a common problem. Their online store was a mess. Slow. Hard to use. Sales dropping. My team and I got to work: 1. Rebuilt the site. Made it fast and easy to use. 2. Added AI to recommend products customers actually want. 3. Put in a chatbot to answer questions 24/7. The results? Site's quick now. Customers find what they need. Sales are up. Support team's not swamped anymore. Best part? The client's face when they saw the new site. They said it finally felt like the business they'd always imagined. This is why I do what I do. It's not about fancy tech. It's about helping businesses thrive online. Got a website that's holding you back? Wonder if AI could help your business? Let's talk. I've seen what's possible, and it's pretty exciting. #WebDev #AI #EcommerceSuccess #DigitalGrowth

"How We Got Our Client at ThinkNodes" It started with a coffee and a story of frustration—a visionary entrepreneur who’d lost nearly $100,000 and a year to an overseas dev shop without anything to show for it. This was our turning point at ThinkNodes. He shared, we listened. His dream wasn’t just a project; it felt like a mission we had to accept. The challenge? Dramatically cut costs and speed up development, tasks that seemed Herculean given his past experiences. But at ThinkNodes, we thrive on challenges. We took a deep dive, crafting a plan that not only slashed his costs by 70% but also set a realistic, accelerated roadmap for his product. More than just planning, we built a dedicated team from scratch—full-time, passionate professionals aligned with his vision. This wasn’t just about saving money or time; it was about restoring faith in what's possible with the right people by your side. Our first client’s leap of faith in us became the cornerstone of ThinkNodes. It’s a testament to our belief that with the right strategy, team, and dedication, we can turn any setback into a comeback. To anyone out there sitting on a vision, weighed down by past setbacks, let’s talk. Your dream might just need a new roadmap and a team that believes in it as much as you do. #TechStartups #ProductDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #BusinessTransformation #StartupLife #TechInnovation #ThinkNodes #CuttingCosts #AcceleratedGrowth

APPLE’s Vision Pro and AI? Just the beginning. The next wave? BCI - Brain Computer Interface.*l It’s what giants like Neuralink are diving into, and yes, my startup Seebility is right in the mix, but we’re dialing in on **Non-Invasive methods**. Here’s our vision: We're not just aiming to bridge minds and machines; our goal is to majorly make the totally blind see again by unlocking the direct transmission of visual data to the visual cortex. No surgeries, just breakthroughs that open up the world in ways we’ve only imagined. Stay tuned. With Seebility, we’re not just chasing the future; we're actively crafting it to make the integration of mind and technology accessible, simple, and safe for everyone. #Seebility #BrainComputerInterface #NonInvasiveBCI #Innovation #VisualRestoration

As I delve deeper into the recent developments at Meta, particularly their substantial investment in GPUs for AI advancements, a thought-provoking question emerges: Do we really need GPUs at all, especially as big tech firms increasingly open-source their AI models? Mark Zuckerberg's ambitious endeavor to equip Meta with around 350,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs by the end of 2024 underlines the traditional importance of GPUs in AI development. However, this drive for powerful GPUs might be just one piece of the puzzle. In a world where powerful AI models are becoming open-sourced, the focus may shift from owning the most advanced GPUs to having access to scalable and efficient compute infrastructure. This infrastructure would not only support the fine-tuning of these sophisticated AI models but also enable their seamless hosting. The real challenge and opportunity might lie in developing or accessing versatile compute platforms that can adapt to the varying demands of different AI models, especially for startups and smaller tech firms. This brings us to an intriguing crossroads in the AI industry. As open-source models democratize AI development, the emphasis on compute infrastructure opens up new avenues. It prompts us to reconsider our strategies and investments in technology. So, here's a question for all AI enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and tech experts in my network: In this rapidly evolving landscape, do we need to reevaluate our dependence on GPUs? Could the future of AI hinge more on flexible, scalable compute solutions than on specific hardware like GPUs? I'm keen to hear your thoughts on this evolving dynamic in the AI world and what it means for the future of tech innovation and entrepreneurship. #AI #FutureOfCompute #TechInnovation #OpenSourceAI #Entrepreneurship
