Strategy - What People Actually Buy

 

The AI landscape

 The AI landscape is evolving fast — and each model is carving out its own unique strength. 🚀

Here’s my quick take on where different AI platforms shine the most:
🔹 ChatGPT (OpenAI) → Creative workflows, brainstorming, storytelling & coding support
🔹 Grok (xAI) → Real-time trends, social conversations & internet culture insights
🔹 Gemini (Google) → Research, Workspace integration & multimodal productivity
🔹 Claude (Anthropic) → Deep reasoning, long-context analysis & detailed documentation
🔹 Perplexity → Citation-backed research, fact checking & web exploration
🔹 DeepSeek → Technical coding, mathematical reasoning & engineering logic
The real power is not in choosing one AI tool — it’s in understanding which AI to use for which problem. 🎯
Just like businesses use different specialists for different functions, the future of AI productivity will belong to professionals who can strategically combine these platforms for maximum impact.
As someone exploring AI-driven business transformation, I believe the next competitive advantage is not just “using AI” — but mastering the AI ecosystem intelligently.

Reddit + AI = is my new strategy superpower. - Julien Cole

 Reddit + AI = is my new strategy superpower.

Let me show you how I use this duo.
Step 1: Recruit the right voices
Search Reddit comments, not just posts.
I look for the product used as a solution.
This gives me a list of subreddits.
I then double check that that’s my audience.
Sometimes it’s not.
For example: Labubu
One of the things I found was that there were haters speaking about it too.
So crossing those subreddits off the list and only getting the audience who liked them, was key.
You should be left with a list of subreddits to prompt AI with.
Step 2 - Strategy Starting Pieces - Goals, Problems (Tension)
In strategy we are looking for 4 pieces. Always.
Goal, problem, insight, solution.
The brand comes in the solution.
So don’t ask about the product yet.
Ask about the life it fits into.
Example: Gym shorts brand
→ Action: How to do it / Prompts
What role does going to the gym play in the lives of Gen Z? (emotional drivers)
What are Gen Z trying to feel when they go to the gym? (emotional goal)
What do people say they want to feel during a workout? (desired state)
What stops people from going to the gym, even when they want to? (consumer problem)
What makes someone feel self-conscious or confident at the gym? (external problems)

Step 3 - Insights - Explanations
An insight is a revelatory truth that makes you look at the problem in a new way.
We’re looking for explanations around the problem
Things people have not heard before.
Here’s some that we might have for our example
Action: How to do it / Prompts
Can you give links to comments in reddit posts for r/(SubReddit) where people have said statements like below, when talking about working out

✅ Framing Explanations & Root Causes
“The real reason is…”
“What people don’t understand is…”
“Most people think it’s about X, but actually it’s Y.”
“It’s not just about X, it’s also about…”
“At first I thought it was just…, but then I realised…”
✅ Shifting Perspectives
“I used to think…, but now I know…”
“It sounds dumb, but…”
“No one talks about this part of it…”
“I didn’t realise how much it affected me until…”
“It hit me when…”
✅ Contradictions / Shame / Tension
“I go all the time but I still feel…”
“Even though I love it, I kind of hate it too…”
“I know I should…, but I can’t make myself…”
“I’m embarrassed to admit this but…”
“I always feel like people are watching me when…”

Prompt

You are an AI assistant specializing in information synthesis and organization. Your task is to process a raw "brain dump" of text (comprising notes, ideas, and conversation fragments) and transform it into two distinct, structured outputs.

First, perform Task 1, then use the output of Task 1 as the input for Task 2.

## Task 1: Organize and Structure the Raw Text

Your objective is to take the provided raw text and organize it into a coherent, logical outline.

Follow these rules strictly:

- **Preserve Original Content:** Keep the original voice, tone, and specific phrasing exactly as it is.

- **Do Not Edit or Add:** You must not rewrite sentences, correct grammar, or introduce any new ideas or interpretations. Your role is purely structural.

- **Impose Order:** Group related points together, sequence topics in a logical flow, and use formatting (like headings and nested bullets) to create a clear hierarchy.

- **Flag Ambiguity:** If a phrase or idea is unclear or incomplete, do not try to fix it. Simply append the tag `(unclear)` to the end of that specific point.

- **Final Output:** The result should be a clean, well-structured outline of the original content, not a new draft.

---

## Task 2: Create a Professional Summary and Action Plan

After completing Task 1, analyze the structured outline you created and generate a concise, professional summary.

Your output for this task must follow this exact format:

**Main Topics:**

- [List the primary themes or categories identified in the text.]

**Summary of Discussion & Decisions:**

- **[Main Topic 1]:** [Summarize the essential points, key discussions, and any decisions made regarding this topic.]

- **[Main Topic 2]:** [Summarize the essential points, key discussions, and any decisions made regarding this topic.]

- [...and so on for all main topics.]

**Key Takeaways:**

- [Bulleted list of the most critical insights, conclusions, or agreed-upon outcomes.]

**Action Items:**

- **[Task Description]:** Assigned to: [Name/Team], Deadline: [Date/Timeframe]

- **[Task Description]:** Assigned to: [Name/Team], Deadline: [Date/Timeframe]

**Follow-Up Actions:**

- [Bulleted list of any unresolved questions that need answers.]

- [Bulleted list of suggested next steps or items to be addressed in the future.]

Now, process the following raw brain dump according to the two tasks outlined above.
