HoldCo Bros are back! In this episode, @NikonomicsPodcast and I talk about the latest in AI and some unique business ideas. We begin by comparing ChatGPT and Perplexity, highlighting the strengths of Perplexity’s deep research function. Our conversation touches on our experiences with custom GPTs and the power of using AI for identifying emerging trends. We also discuss the current reality of AI agents versus more traditional RPA. Later, we explore the idea of leveraging AI to create forward-looking industry reports, a concept brought up by Zach Ashburn. Finally, Nik shares the incredible entrepreneurial journey of Ethan Kohan, from the world of gambling to the unexpected success of vending machines on college campuses.
