With Dharmesh Shah

"Everyone is trying to build the AI. The real money is in building around the AI — the boring infrastructure, the specific workflows, the things that feel like too small an idea."
Dharmesh Shah, on the episode

Sam and Shaan sit down with a billionaire operator and investor to brainstorm real businesses to build around AI. The session cuts through the hype and gets specific: where are the actual gaps? Who is being underserved? What will look obvious in 3 years that nobody is building today? The result is one of the most practical AI opportunity maps the show has produced.

Tactic 01

Sell Workflows, Not Software

The billionaire's opening argument: most AI companies are selling tools. The real opportunity is selling workflows. A law firm doesn't want AI — they want their contract review process to take 2 hours instead of 2 days. A real estate company doesn't want AI — they want comps pulled and formatted in 10 minutes. The winner in each vertical won't be the best AI. It'll be the company that understands the workflow best and wraps the AI around it. 'The tool is a commodity. The workflow is the product.'

The play

Pick one specific professional workflow that currently takes hours of human time. Map every step. Then ask: where does AI eliminate steps? Build the workflow product, not the AI product.
