I've lost the battle

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

I’ve lost the battle, but not the war with building custom AI Agents to create assets as products.

I just can’t get it to replicate the same kind of output as the Custom GPTs.

I’ve recorded a video below, but I’ll kick off with the difference in one area of one of these AI Assistants.

So, for the $1 Product Strategy Advisor Custom GPT, the output for each stage is like the below…

“1. Front-End Offer – $1
Title: “Client Magnet Scripts”
What it solves: Freelancers struggle to start sales conversations with leads. This swipe file gives them 10 proven outreach templates that get replies within 24 hours.
✅ Micro-problem: “I don’t know what to say to land clients.”✅ Format: Plug-and-play scripts✅ Perceived Value: $49+✅ Speed: Use in 10 minutes, get replies in 1 day
Belief Shift Created: “If this $1 script gets me leads, what else do they have?”

The same training material through the Assistants API churns out the below.

“Offer detailed analysis and plan for scaling aligned with a proven model.”

In short, it’s crap.

If you've got any experience in building these so that there's actually decent output, or have any ooiinters for me, I'd love to hear them.

And if you want to see a video of me running through it stage by stage, click below.

Let’s not dress this up. If your revenue didn’t grow this year, it wasn’t... ... the algorithm... your niche... buyer psychology magically shifting overnight.... “summer slowdown” or “Q4 fatigue”. It was your model. The game changed, and most people didn’t. Case in point for this. I know a guy whose entire business is webinars. He sells them, teaches them, built his whole identity on them. This year? His numbers tanked and he intrduced a new "$47 webinar" to validate serious buyers. I know...

So I just did a breakdown analysis for the GM+ crowd (you can join us with a special BFCM deal here). It was a funnel teardown of a chap running LinkedIn ads, and to be blunt... the approach is awful. This guy has made pretty much all of the mistakes you can make... Ads that generate curiosity but zero serious intent No clarity on what he’s actually selling An application that doesn’t explain the next steps Running the whole thing at “50 percent off”, which only attracts bargain hunters He’s...
