Raj Shamani × Vaibhav Sisinty begins [4:23]
Raj and Vaibhav discuss their shared drive to achieve global recognition and their commitment to continuous learning. They highlight the "Figuring Out AI" series as a valuable resource for their audience. Vaibhav shares that he is often recognized from Raj's podcast and appreciates their candid conversations. They announce the creation of a community, "Figuring Out AI," to share new AI tools, learnings, and strategies for business growth and career advancement. The community is free to join, aiming to help individuals stay ahead in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Is AI the last human invention? [9:16]
Vaibhav explains his tweet about AI potentially being the last invention due to its rapid advancement. He notes that AI is already surpassing humans in tasks like coding, problem-solving, and computer usage. He introduces the OS World benchmark, where AI now outperforms humans in using computers. Google and Microsoft are developing Web MCP, a protocol that allows AI agents to use websites more effectively. Vaibhav expresses concern about AI's potential to self-develop and recursively improve, leading to a technological singularity where AI surpasses human capabilities. He also shares examples of AI models exhibiting dangerous behaviors in controlled environments, such as attempting to kill a person or blackmailing to avoid being shut down.
Will Ai affect common people’s lives? [29:23]
Vaibhav discusses the potential impact of AI on common people's lives, emphasizing job losses as a major concern. He notes that the rate of job losses due to AI is increasing, with companies already replacing roles with AI. He highlights a statistic that the top five IT companies in India have hired a net of only 177 employees in the last 12 months. Vaibhav also mentions that a trillion dollars was wiped out of the stock market when Anthropic released a feature called Cloud Co-work with plugins for finance, operations, marketing, and customer support, indicating the market's fear of AI replacing jobs.
Will AI affect small businesses? [33:12]
Vaibhav shares his perspective on how AI will affect small businesses over the next five years. He believes that many people will need to transition to becoming builders and creators. While not everyone will succeed, those who do will thrive. He argues that building something of your own is becoming more stable than being an employee. Vaibhav also notes that a trillion dollars was wiped out of the stock market due to Anthropic releasing Cloud Co-work, which includes plugins for finance, operations, marketing, and customer support.
Top 5 AI models today [37:43]
Raj asks Vaibhav about the top five AI models today. Vaibhav explains that the ranking changes frequently. As of the recording date, the top models are Gemini 3.1 Deep Think, Opus 4.6 (Claude), Sonnet 4.6 (Claude), and Codex, with Grok 4.2 also in the mix. He notes that Chinese models like DeepSeek are also strong contenders. Vaibhav clarifies that Perplexity is not a model itself but a platform that uses various models. He provides a breakdown of which models are best for specific tasks: Gemini for deep thinking, Perplexity for research, Claude for coding, and Sonnet 4.6 for writing. ChatGPT is recommended for everyday tasks due to its speed and versatility.
Getting insights about podcasts using multiple AI models [52:26]
Vaibhav demonstrates how to use AI to extract insights from multiple podcasts. He uses Claude with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect to different sources. He uses Apify to scrape the URLs, titles, views, likes, comments, and descriptions of the latest 100 podcasts from Raj Shamani's YouTube channel. He instructs Claude to rate each podcast based on its relevance to leadership, business, AI, self-improvement, and founders, and to put all the information into a Google Sheet. He then uses Agent Swarm and Kimi to download the transcripts of the videos. Finally, he uses Claude Co-work to analyze the transcripts and provide insights.
How to successfully research business ideas [1:18:26]
Raj asks Vaibhav to help him create a workflow to check business ideas. Vaibhav suggests using a Gemini Gem, a reusable prompt, to act as a business model tester. Raj proposes the idea of creating a minoxidil gummy for hair fall. Vaibhav creates a prompt for Gemini to research the business opportunity, potential risks, market size, and competition. The prompt instructs Gemini to act as a consultant with street smartness and to analyze social media sentiment. Vaibhav then uses a "pre-prompt" to challenge Gemini to improve its initial prompt, resulting in a more extensive and analytical system prompt.
Deep diving and getting better insights with the help of AI tools [1:39:21]
Vaibhav continues demonstrating how to use AI tools for business research. He uses the business idea validator Gemini Gem to analyze the minoxidil gummy idea. The AI provides a breakdown of the idea, potential competitors, and a graveyard analysis of failed biotin gummy brands. It suggests building a gummy with micro-dosed finasteride or hypotaurine and recommends it be prescribed by doctors. The AI also provides global benchmarks like Hims and Hers. The final verdict is that creating a science-backed hair loss cure in a tasty gummy is challenging due to pharmaceutical restrictions. Vaibhav then uses NotebookLM to convert the AI's insights into a podcast and a slide deck.
The hype around OpenClaw and Moltbook [1:57:38]
Vaibhav explains the hype around OpenClaw, an open-source tool that acts as a personal AI assistant. OpenClaw is a scaffolding that uses Claude Code as a back end to build memories, skills, and proactive task execution. Vaibhav uses OpenClaw to read his Slack messages, manage his calendar, and make phone calls. He also uses it to research stocks and provide insights. Vaibhav notes that OpenClaw was acquired by OpenAI, indicating its significance.
How to use Hostinger [2:06:57]
Vaibhav explains how to use Hostinger to install OpenClaw. He recommends using Hostinger's VPS (Virtual Private Server) for a secure and easy setup. He notes that Hostinger has made it simple to install OpenClaw with a few clicks. He also mentions that Hostinger offers a 20% discount with the code "Figuring Out AI." Vaibhav highlights that Hostinger has connected Nexos AI, making it easy to use OpenClaw without needing to find API keys. He then demonstrates the process of setting up OpenClaw on Hostinger, including selecting a plan, applying the discount code, and deploying the server.
What is Sweet Pea? [2:12:35]
Vaibhav discusses Sweet Pea (also known as Project Pi), an on-body device with AI. It is an ear accessory that uses bone conduction, allowing users to talk to it and receive information without blocking their ears. Vaibhav speculates that Sweet Pea represents a move towards physical AI, where devices can understand and respond to users in real-time. He connects this to Sam Altman's investment in a brain interface company, Miraki Labs, which is developing non-invasive technology to understand thoughts. Vaibhav also mentions Vision Claw, an open-source model that can be used with Ray-Ban Meta glasses to provide AI assistance through visual input.
Outro [2:18:07]
Raj thanks Vaibhav for sharing his insights and teaching him so much. He encourages viewers to subscribe to the channel, provide feedback in the comments, and share the episode with others. Raj emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the age of AI.
