How AI Should Actually Help You (Not Just Write the Product)

Most people use AI in the most obvious way: “Write my ebook.”

That’s not where AI shines.

AI is powerful when you use it to think like a buyer.

Here’s how to do that properly.

1. Use AI to Extract Pain Points (This Is Gold)

Ask AI questions like:

• “What are the most frustrating parts of ___ for beginners?”
• “What mistakes do people make when trying to ___?”
• “What do people overcomplicate in ___?”

Now read the answers like a detective.

Your product should solve one of those frustrations, not the entire problem.
