AI Focus Groups?
I use AI focus groups in my daily meditation! It's now part of my process. It's how I start my day on a bounce and not stuck in the grind of execution. How in the hell did AI get so far into the world that it's part of meditation?

This week’s newsletter comes with a bit of a pivot in how I approach Low Code CTO. I am not including any new low-code solutions. It’s about someone who has changed my approach in a meaningful way. I'm still writing about low-code—it's a deep passion—but I've also stepped more fully into helping build the Launch by Lunch community.
The benefits of community are amazing. And it's helped my meditation practice each morning. So, a lot of the learnings will end up here. Lazy me.
Also, when I say founders, I mean myself and other founders.
AI Marketing Master Class!
First, this week, someone special in the Launch by Lunch community is hosting an expert session: Ian Venskus. He’s an AI marketing strategist preparing to launch a new venture. He has a process where he builds virtual focus groups and exercises these virtual experts to gain insights into an idea or direction.
This process uses ChatGPT and explores some of the edges of the AI and LLM world. By prompting GPT to use sub-experts, Ian harnesses the statistical power of the model in a unique way—it allows the LLM to return different perspectives, almost like running a panel of advisors who aren’t you.
His approach has impacted every project since I had a series of conversations with him and was introduced to his approach.
