The “Bullshit AI” test | Cycle

Sep 17, 2024

I used to think AI was all hype, no substance.

Boy, was I wrong! 🤯

Turns out, there's a simple 3-step test to separate the BS from the real deal:

  1. Forget the AI. Does the product solve a real problem?

  2. Does AI make the core 10x better or faster?

  3. Can you do it all with a few ChatGPT prompts?

At Cycle, we put our AI through this gauntlet.

The result? A feedback autopilot that categorizes, summarizes, and links insights - all on its own. 🤖✨

It wasn't easy. We iterated relentlessly on the UX:

• AI-generated tags for transparency
• One-click verification for trust
• Real-time notifications for clarity

But it paid off. Our autopilot now saves teams hours each week. 🎉

The lesson?

AI isn't about flashy features. It's about solving real problems, enhancing core workflows, and obsessing over the details.

That's the path to non-bullshit AI. And it's just the beginning of the journey. 🚀
