Came to realize that if you gave the LLM the right ingredients, and combined those with the right prompts and recipes, you could break free from the generic content trap so many brands fall into.\n\nWith that in mind, we launched OrangeBall.ai.\n\nSuper fun to be back in early stage entrepreneurship, building something we again! If you could bottle the feeling and sell it, would make a mint.\n\nTwo questions…\n\nWhat would make an AI writing partner interesting g to you?\n\nWhat SaaS experience can you share regarding customer acquisition?\n\nThank you!\n\nJohn",
