Ep 161: The “Subtraction” Framework I’m Using to Finally Make AI Give Me Time Back

I have found an AI tool that I really believe actually gives me my time back.

Now, if you've listened to the show, if you followed along, you know that I am quite skeptical overall of a lot of the AI agents that people profess to use that they've, you know, I built a team full of agents and saved me, you know, I cut my $500,000 per year marketing team.

No, you haven't.

You definitely haven't.

It's bullshit.

Generally, the juice has not been worth the squeeze, but I'm going to be walking those words back a little bit now.

But first, so why have I had this problem with AI? I've been pretty, pretty skeptical because I've tried lots of tools.

Most are pretty impressive, but almost none of them actually give me my time back, which is what I actually want it for.

Usually they create a new job because now I have to learn how to use it.

I have to configure it.

I have to prompt it.

I have to check it regularly and I have to maintain it.

And you end up spending like five hours building something that only saves you 15 minutes a week.

Why? Right? Right.

So the tool that I'm talking about, and you may have seen this in your Instagram feed or somewhere, I've been mercilessly retargeted by this tool.

And I finally raised my hands and said, I give up.

It's called Victor, Victor with a K.

And this is the first time that I've generally felt this equation flip on its head.

So I'm using Victor as an AI assistant for my business.

And it's changed my thinking from what can AI do to what can I stop doing? So that is the framework that I want to give you today.
