Hey, you made it! 🎉 Welcome to the very first edition of PAI Club, the AI newsletter that doesn’t sound like it was written by a tech bro… because it isn’t. 😉 

Think of this as your weekly power-up, like your go-to coffee order, but instead of caffeine, it’s packed with AI insights, founder moves, and the tech trends actually worth knowing. No fluff, no jargon… just what you need to stay ahead.

Let’s just get this one outta the way from the jump. AI isn’t just “the future”, it’s happening right now. The funding is flowing, the innovations are wild, and businesses (yours included) have the chance to either integrate it or really miss out. So, let’s make sure you’re in the first category, yeah?

In this issue, we’re talking about:

🔥 The $3.5B funding round proving AI isn’t slowing down anytime soon

👀 What happens when you give an AI a Rorschach test (yes, really)

💡 How to write AI prompts like a pro (because yes, it matters)

✨ Plus—an AI assistant that works FOR YOU (and it’s free)

Buckle up, founder. Let’s get into it. 🚀

☕ This Week’s AI Roundup

1. Anthropic Just Secured Another $3.5B in Funding—AI Money is Moving FAST

AI startup Anthropic (the team behind Claude AI) just locked in a massive $3.5 billion funding round, pushing its valuation to $61.5 billion. Anthropic is one of OpenAI’s (ChatGPT, Dall-E) biggest competitors, and this level of investment makes it clear: AI is not slowing down—if anything, it’s speeding up.

💡 Why it matters:

VCs are pouring billions into AI because they know it’s the future. If you’re still thinking about how to make AI part of your business, now’s the time to start. Whether it’s integrating AI into your workflows, building your own AI-powered tool, or simply staying informed, positioning yourself now will be a game-changer later.

2. What Happens When You Give AI a Rorschach Test? (Hint: It’s Weird.)

👀 The BBC decided to give AI a psychological Rorschach test (you know, those inkblot images therapists use to analyze subconscious thoughts). Turns out, AI doesn’t just see shapes—it interprets them in ways that reveal how it thinks.

💡 Why it matters:

AI’s ability to “think” beyond basic text generation is evolving fast. This kind of study shows that AI is developing perception-like reasoning, which could soon mean AI-powered creativity, branding, and problem-solving will hit new levels.

3. OpenAI’s Greg Brockman Just Revealed How to Write the Perfect AI Prompt

Want to get better results from AI? OpenAI’s President, Greg Brockman, shared a blueprint for crafting the perfect prompt and it turns out, most people are doing it wrong.

His formula? Instead of just asking for what you want, you should:

✅ Clearly state the goal of your prompt

✅ Define the format you want the response in

✅ Give warnings or parameters so AI stays on track

✅ Provide a context dump so AI understands the bigger picture

💡 Why it matters:

Better prompts = better AI outputs. If you’re using AI for content, operations, or brainstorming, learning how to speak to your bot babe will literally make or break your results. Not to mention, this is so much simpler than what we had to do in the early days. Your AI doesn’t need a role, just give it enough context and it can take it from there.

⚙️ Tool of the Week: Meet Nucleus—Your Free AI Assistant That Actually Works

So, a few months ago, I spoke at PosseFest where I met John (the founder of Nucleus). We were on stage together, and when he started talking about what he was building, I was blown away.

Basically, Nucleus is an AI-powered assistant that answers calls and texts for you—no apps, no complicated setup, just a completely free tool that actually makes running a business easier. It was one of those “wait, why doesn’t this already exist?!” moments because the number of things this could unblock for small business owners and founders is wild.

🚀 Imagine having someone (okay, something) handling:

✅ Customer inquiries—without you manually responding to every DM.

✅ Lead capture—so no one slips through the cracks.

✅ Automated follow-ups—nudging potential customers to take action.

And the best part? It’s free. No credit card, no weird catches—just a seriously helpful AI that actually works.

👉 Go grab your free AI assistant now: Get Nucleus Free

✨ Oh, and next week? I’ll be showing you how I’m using Nucleus to make this newsletter interactive—yep, you’ll be able to text with PAI Club like it’s a real convo. Stay tuned.

🎯 AI Prompt Series: Defining Your Personal Brand (1/4)

This month’s focus: Self-Reflection & Purpose

Before you build a brand, you need clarity on who you are, what you stand for, and how you want to show up in the world.

Try this prompt in ChatGPT or Claude:

💬 “I want to refine my personal brand. Ask me 10 deep, thought-provoking questions to help me uncover my core values, strengths, and the impact I want to have in my industry.”

How to use it:

✔ Journal your answers to get clear on your mission and purpose.

✔ Identify recurring themes—these will become your brand pillars.

✔ Keep your responses handy; next month, we’ll translate them into your brand messaging.

✨ Pro Tip: If you don’t love writing, use Nucleus (our featured tool this week!) to record voice notes and transcribe your thoughts.

That’s a wrap on PAI Club Issue #1—you’re officially ahead of the AI curve.

Now you know where the money’s flowing, how to get AI to actually work for you, and why AI analyzing inkblots is low-key unsettling. Plus, you’ve got Nucleus ready to be your free AI assistant, so… no excuses.

Go test a prompt, claim your AI assistant, and start making moves. See you next week for more AI tea, founder wins, and the smartest inbox convo you’ll have all week.

xoxo
