The trio of waking up very early, exercising and being grateful. ​ What are you reading right now? ​[Founding Sales by Peter Kazanjy](​ I'm currently doing founder-led sales so it's a great resource to refer to at this point of my journey. ​ What product or service do you wish existed? An AI that acts like a very competent virtual assistant for personal and professional tasks. I have so many things going on in my life. I just wish there was an AI that could take some of the load off my shoulders at times. ​ What product are you obsessively using right now? ​[Github Copilot](=). It feels like I have a true copilot that takes care of writing mundane code in seconds, instead of minutes or hours. The productivity gains are significant! ​ What are you bullish on? ​[Personal brands](. In an age of AI-generated content that saturates the Internet, I believe it's even more important to present our most authentic voice across different types of media (text, video, audio). Personal brands that can cut through the noise will win big. ​ What are you bearish on? Most AI tools that launch every day on Product Hunt. These tools are undifferentiated and don't necessarily fit into a business workflow. However, they constitute a great window into the deluge of innovation that GPT and other AI-as-a-Service providers have unleashed. I'm very bullish about AI in general though. ​ What's your favorite Trends Report? 🤖[ChatGPT](​ We're just seeing the small tip of the iceberg now, but this technology is already unleashing waves of innovation in so many industries.
