Drawing parallels to the early days of the automobile, I break down the shift from individual models and agent harnesses to unified platforms that bring together humans, AI agents, context and data. I walk through my seven-part framework for evaluating AI platforms and score what the major AI labs and startups offer right now. Finally, I cover the hidden costs and risks of custom builds, why you shouldn't build ahead of major lab updates, and a practical checklist for business owners and agency founders navigating the market. 00:00 Why most businesses should stop spending on AI 01:12 What Henry Ford's first cars teach us about AI 01:57 Why harnesses are winning (for now) 02:46 Welcome to the AI waiting room 03:00 The all-in-one AI platform we're waiting for 03:37 The 7 pieces of an AI platform 05:53 Why you should NOT buy a custom AI build 07:10 The real problem with custom AI builds 08:30 You're about to get sold ...hard 10:08 Go all in (or don't go at all) 10:23 What this means for AI agencies 10:54 Scoring each AI lab 13:47 When will a platform actually be ready? 14:28 AI Labs vs. AI startups: which is best? 19:17 Don't sleep on this WATCH NEXT: If You Don't Understand This, You'll Never Make AI Work - https://youtu.be/HvjHt25RGyU

In this video, I sit down with Isaac Hetzroni (@thesourcingguy) to break down the business model behind his personal brand and US-based sourcing agency, Imprint Genius. We map out his content strategy across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, trace his exact lead generation funnel from social traffic to high-ticket corporate and retail clients, and analyze his core operational bottleneck: the manual time required to source factory data and build proposal presentations under shifting pricing, tariffs, and shipping costs. To solve this, we design a custom Slack-based AI system that pulls brand assets, queries his factory database, generates instant tailored presentation decks, and uses AI video mockups to maximize speed-to-lead and close more deals. 00:00 Isaac's 8-figure business 00:31 How the business gets attention (with content) 01:21 How followers become clients 02:54 Target audience 03:47 Lead conversion 05:26 Sourcing process 07:21 Bottleneck and how AI fixes it 09:59 Data 11:37 Isaac's dream solution 12:49 Liam's AI blueprint WATCH NEXT: Give Me 22 minutes, I'll Give You 10,000 hours of Claude Knowledge https://youtu.be/ulJqlCPNGKI?si=Z_hAt7GFhPOGDCkD

I break down what they shipped for businesses (Dots, Space and Pages, ChatGPT in Slack and the new admin console), what it costs, where it still falls short, and the bigger change underneath it: AI is going from single-player to multiplayer, and businesses are about to lose the freedom to switch between AI tools whenever they like. If you run a business or an AI agency, this is how I'd decide whether to switch now or wait for Google, Microsoft and Anthropic to answer. 0:00 OpenAI's new business platform 0:49 Dots 1:16 ChatGPT in Slack 1:41 Space and Pages 2:05 The admin console 2:44 What it costs 3:05 Why this is a big deal 4:16 The switching cost 4:57 Should you switch? 6:00 If you sell AI to businesses 7:11 Pick yours on purpose WATCH NEXT: I Rebuilt This 46-Person Accounting Firm With AI (in 4 Days) https://youtu.be/IXDYEF22CG8?si=ttZKEaLe7nQxlLWT

I explain why strong copy and custom media matter most, and show how I used Higgsfield (via MCP inside Claude Code) to outpaint portrait photos into widescreen assets and turn stills into polished moving clips for the site. I also cover using Mobbin and 21st.dev (via MCP) to source high-quality UI references and components. Finally, I set up Osprey on aimakeover.io to resolve visitors into leads (name, email, LinkedIn, phone), share early results from real traffic, and discuss outbound automation ideas using webhooks, Instantly, and Expandi plus upcoming Osprey features like resolving companies to people.

This is what it turned into. Three days in Tivat, Montenegro, with 100+ founders and the biggest names in AI automation. Talks and presentations in the mornings, hands-on workshops in the afternoons, and the rest of the day spent building alongside people running the same problems as you. Everyone left with something actually working in their business. Then there were the dinners on the marina, a full day out on the boat, and a party on top of a mountain at sunset. Every session was recorded and all the downloadables are in the first link above. Next one's in Cape Town.

Liam contrasts two $20 Claude users—Dave, who treats it like Google, and Marcus, who uses it as a full-time assistant—then walks viewers up a “ladder” to use Claude better than 99% of people. He frames Claude as needing “knowledge” and “tools,” recommends using the desktop and phone apps, choosing the right model, enabling tools like web search, and turning off chat training for privacy. Liam teaches better prompting via voice input, having Claude interview you, and forcing it to argue and verify sources, plus using new chats per task and Deep Research. Advanced steps include exporting ChatGPT data, enabling memory, setting global rules, doing a personal brain dump, using Projects, and connecting email, calendar, and apps. He then covers artifacts, browser extension/Teach Mode, Co-Work folders, Skills, routines, Dispatch, and finally Claude Code/Design, API keys, a free Claude Code workspace template with commands, and an upgraded Deep Research skill to automate tasks along an “automation spectrum.” 00:00 Dave vs Marcus 01:04 Knowledge and Tools 01:28 App Setup and Models 02:53 Prompting Habits 04:10 Trust but Verify 04:46 Context Window Fix 05:11 Deep Research Basics 06:21 Build Claude Memory 08:28 Projects and Connectors 10:26 Artifacts and Browser 11:25 Cowork and Dispatch 12:12 Skills and Automation 13:53 Become a Builder 16:32 Template and API Keys 18:15 Rebuilt Deep Research 19:26 AI Operating System 21:45 Final Ladder Challenge

He'd put hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line to bring 72 founders and artists to a cliff in Uluwatu, and with only 17 spots sold and his wedding around the corner, we had just five days to rebuild his entire sales system with AI and see if we could get the rest of them gone.
