but that's nice for the 1% that understands tech, but you need to like make it, if you want to get products to be adopted, you need to make it feel like the real world, right? Basically how iPhone started with their interface, notes didn't look like notes. You need to make it feel right. So these people, they're not going to use ChatGPT to do the job, even if it's easier.

You need to like, they want to use it how they've been using it, but then on a different way. For example, like Hedgehog Pro, we really, we don't focus on the AI part. We basically just, what we do different is before you had to go to a physical photo shoot, right? So you had to schedule a photo shoot, you had to drive there, you had to get your clothing, you have to pay $300.

Basically what we do now is you just do it from your house. You take 15 selfies and the AI is literally the photographer that makes it for you. And two hours later, you get the photo. It's kind of the same process. And we make it feel the same way, but there's no real human in the loop, but basically 50 photographers in the cloud that are making the photos for it.

So it feels like you need to make that transition. You need to make it feel human, how you experienced it. So I think like these kinds of ideas, stop doing it as an API, do it more as like a job marketplace. Cause it feels real. It feels how people expect to interact with something they've been interacting with.

I was listening to PodTask the other day, and they... For example, company doctors apparently have scribes that are taking notes and how it used to work. I don't know which podcast this was on, but it was a really good episode. Probably, I think it was My First Million. They mentioned it on there. So basically they said this doctor had a scribe. So before they would be in person.
