The 4 Levels of AI

Everyone feels behind on AI right now — and most people are stuck using it in the one way that won't grow anything. Here are the 4 levels of AI I use every day to build a brand that works while I sleep. If you're a founder or speaker who can't keep up with the tools, this is your shortcut. I break down the 4 formats of AI — chat, prompts, projects, and agents — and the simple distinction between the people who use AI to grow an audience and the people who use it and go nowhere. Plus: a live look at how I use Claude in Chrome to run tasks in the background, the Dan Martell reframe that changed how I "search" with AI, and why the people who go first become the thought leaders of their niche. You don't have to go all-in on agentic AI to win. You just have to stop being Polaroid.
