What they did
While posting YouTube videos about his next-company ideas, he started building faceless YouTube channels with a team. Scriptwriting was the bottleneck: good scriptwriters were hard to find and ChatGPT's scripts were not good enough. He bet his developer and founder experience could build a tool that worked.

“So I started putting together a team. I quickly realized that scriptwriting is this huge bottleneck. It's actually really hard to find good scriptwriters, even though we sort of know what a good YouTube script looks like. I tried using ChatGPT, and I saw that it was nowhere near good enough to, you know, write the kind of script that I wanted to see.”
