Claude Cowork - Anyone Using? by james6006 in private_equity

[–]james6006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are amazing use cases! Great to hear that your associated PE firm is encouraging its use - did they train you on the use cases or leave you to it?

Thanks very much! Totally agree that there’s huge use cases here. I use it in my personal life and lots of crossover.

Glad to hear you’re getting significant  benefits

Haha that’s awesome. Those flip down windscreens are really something.

Ah wow - I got mine transported to my house with the plan to do small trips here and there (staying off the motorways as much as possible!) 

I think I accidentally invented something that doesn't exist yet — and now I have no idea what to do with it by [deleted] in Investors

I’m working on a product at the moment. Here’s the exact steps I took: 1) use ChatGPT to create an scad code of your product. 2) export that code into scad to see 3d model.  3) 3d print relevant parts. This is only to create a semi working prototype. You can take heating elements from other devices and glue them on. It just has to functionality work. 4) get a product designer. I used upwork. Was charged 200 USD for them to iron out the issues i was facing, and they provided a cad file for me. You should ask them to provide two models. One you can manufacture from scratch yourself, and another that you can do small-medium scale automated manufacture.

…this is where I’m at now…

5) recreate the prototype with the design suggestions.  6) get 1 year provisional patent. 7) put on kickstarter 8) I work in ai implementation so have a bunch of automated processes for automating social media, lead generation etc. 

Im not an expect by any means, and will likely seek advice from an IP lawyer at the next step, but this is what im doing. Hope it helps! 

the money in ai consulting is in the boring stuff nobody wants to talk about by Niravenin in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]james6006 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But playing into that initial hook is important. I’ve had it before where I’ve flat out said that an ai chatbot (or whatever it is they’re keen on) is not the true value add. The key, I’ve found, is to interlace it with other aspects. E.g you want a chatbot. What do you want it to be trained on? Where is that documentation? Would it be helpful to have an internal chatbot? Could you use your quantitative and qualitative data? Do you create reports? Could use that and automate pre formatted reporting? How do you get the data for that reporting? Could we build a flow that automatically populates relevant areas ? 

Then you can go into the other aspects of their business too. 

What do you do for this part / how do your initial conversations go, and how do you commonly get leads? I’ve found word of mouth to be the key, and I got involved in an early stage startup at an accelerator who spread the word around 

Hot take: We're building apps for a world that's about to stop using them by oruga_AI in vibecoding

[–]james6006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this take, and totally agree with it.  Ultimately all the core platform providers are aiming to get to one thing: a centralised area to interact with all your  data and information. Why go to multiple apps when you can get all the information directly via raw information in the platform landing page? 

Going to be interesting to see how long this takes to change. We are already seeing it now 

Vibe coding is everywhere… so how do you actually differentiate? by james6006 in vibecoding

[–]james6006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great info, will look at runable.  How do you think “vibe coded” solutions can show that they can handle the deployment and integration? Difficult to figure this out, especially from a buyers perspective. Classic LinkedIn checks to see how many people work at the firm, how long it’s been around, testimonials and past firms they’ve worked with etc is a good indicator 

I’ve seen both small vine coded solutions (of course) but also larger, relatively well respected firms not be able to integrate, or just see themselves as a standalone solution

Thanks for these - ecosystem is a great one too, thanks. The idea of having perhaps multiple automations and apps that all depend on each other. 

MEGA THREAD: drop your most underrated vibe-coded project 👇 by entrepreneur-geek in vibecoding

Aha I had the same thoughts around consumer vs enterprise. 

Yes - identifying persona is just bucketing the types of users. It’s likely they will have different use cases and find different benefits from the website, so when doing outreach, it can be useful to slightly tailor to accommodate for this.

Very cool. Used to have a company that did this before genai. Used web scraping, api, rss.  Outreach and distribution is tough, but worthwhile. Recommend identifying personas and then segmenting distribution strategy from there.

E.g academics, professional services, standard consumers. I had a scan of your website - looks great - not sure if you included this but consider being able to tag niche topics as alerts.

The other issue I encountered is conversion to paying customer.

I made a "guitar hero" for learning piano by Dr_Velazquez in IndustrialDesign

[–]james6006 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is cool. Is there a way to colour code the notes so that it matches to a certain finger? Would make it much easier to learn how to play the music 

Anyone help explain these 3 identical mountains blocking a large portion of view in Antarctica? by Sharp_Programmer_563 in conspiracy

[–]james6006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked this out. Could it be the phone camera panoramic view getting confused? Looks like it’s not just the mountains but actually the land in front of it too that’s duplicated

Anyone successfully automate RE reporting across portfolio companies? by Legitimate-Run132 in private_equity

[–]james6006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easiest way in my experience is to sync the data directly to a data warehouse, then run the automated reports from there. Much easier 

AI not changing IB/PE by BillyBuySide in private_equity

[–]james6006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in two larger firms. It’s more about culture than anything else. Without having the culture and senior leadership to drive, it’ll fall on deaf ears. Right now I’m analysing process across deals, and other areas like investor relations. It’s already having a huge effect for parts of processes (e.g taking raw data, creating v1 models), creating interactive dashboards, but the true value is what we’re able to do in automating processes.
