Solo founders shouldn't think of AI as a tool. Think of it as a junior co-founder with infinite patience and zero context.
What to delegate
- First drafts of anything (email, blog, plan, spec).
- Research compilation (competitor lookups, market sizing, regulation summaries).
- Editing your own writing.
- Idea-generation when you're stuck.
What never to delegate
- Customer conversations.
- The first formulation of a decision.
- Anything where being wrong damages a relationship.
- Your strategy. AI is great at execution; mediocre at compass-setting.
The loop
- You write the brief (5 minutes).
- AI drafts (1 minute).
- You edit ruthlessly (15 minutes).
- You ship.
The edit step is where the leverage lives. AI drafts are 70% good; editing is what gets the last 30%.
Cost rule
If AI saves you 90 minutes a day, that's $400 of your time at a $300/hr rate. Pay for whatever model gets you there.
