Issue 008: I'm co-founding an MVP with RicoGPT (GPT-4)

And: I gave it a £1500 budget to take over tech. Here's the juicy details.

Hey crew👋 this is Woze - your AI & Immersive technology guide. Had to make this into an issue cause I wanted to share it with you guys and couldn’t wait until next Wednesday

In today’s issue we'll cover:

1) My recent LinkedIn post & short Twitter thread

2) and How I’m co-founding an MVP alongside GPT-4

Grab your boards, and let’s ride the waves of the day 🏄‍♂️

1) My recent LinkedIn & Twitter posts

It took my own body to signal the habits I had for the past weeks would not help me, moving forward.

Those habits got so bad that it affect most areas of my life like a contagion.

The consequences for these habits resulted in:

  1. Bad decisions

  2. Inconsistency

  3. Health effects

  4. and neglect of other life areas (ex. family, friends etc)

Let’s take bad decisions for example.

The past few months I've ran on fumes.

Straining myself with 20 hours of work, on 3-4 hours of sleep.

Heck, there were even a couple ~48 hour days too.

I even added coffee to the mix, when I don’t even drink it - I'm not even The Coffee Guy!!

Traces for some of these, like inconsistency, can be seen from my online profiles in the past 3 months.

Tweeted about sticking to increasing content but never stuck to it🙃

Bad decisions x inconsistency² = ☢️☢️☢️

Note: Now this email makes it ‘even’ since this week was originally meant to be week #008, but delayed since I missed a week of Woze.

But because of the self realisation I had the other day, I’ve been able to pull myself of the gutter, and have shed that version of ‘me’.

And man did I miss feeling like ‘myself‘.

Losing yourself for the sake of making progressing on your mission/journey is not worth it.

With that said.

To remove the old, I gotta replace with the new.

This means new habits/commitments.

I trialled a new workflow and it felt good.

I may post an update on how it goes (1-3 months? who knows)

But yeah, let’s get straight into what you really clicked this email for 😂

2) Co-founding an MVP with RicoGPT (GPT-4) 🍇

While scrolling on twitter, long after sending out issue #007 I came across this post by Jackson G Fall (@jacksonfall) on Twitter.

Like many others, I decided to give this prompt a try - with a little grandiose.

I gave RicoGPT, or should I say a budget of £1500 and that it has a 24yo developer named “pUnK” at its disposal to carry out its directives. Here’s the prompt:

And the results of this prompt are mind-blowing 😂 You could say I’m a GPT puppet now.

Having fun with this experiment. Who knows where it might go.

Anyways, this is what RicoGPT responded with:

RicoGPT’s response.

I responded with:

My response.

RicoGPT proceeded to assign me with the first task:

RicoGPT’s second response

Finding its response exciting, what did I do? I went on and actually carried out market research.

I spent about 2 hours doing research, jotting down my notes in Notion, and my notepad too, then packaging it up nicely and presented my ideas and findings.

RicoGPT selected a hybrid of two ideas I presented, and we’re now in the pre-MVP stage. It has since provided a highly detailed specification for the MVP, a project timeline, technology stack plus more - also the next task I am to do.

If you have ChatGPT Plus, I’d suggest you give it a try. If not, you can send me a prompt you’d like for my to run and I’ll present it in the next issue!

Btw, which one do you prefer between A or B? Vote in the poll below.

Option A:

Option A

vs

Option B:

Option B (current)

Anyways, have a great weekend 🍇

See you next Wednesday :)
