"The venture capitalist said on an episode of the "a16z Podcast" published Tuesday that AI tools can act as the "world's best coach, mentor, therapist, advisor, board member" for anyone who asks the right kind of questions. AI is probably "the most democratic" technology of all time, said the cofounder of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. "The very best AI in the world is fully available on the apps that anybody can download.""
""Part of the art of AI, right, is what questions to ask it," he said. He laid out several examples using a small business. A bakery owner, for instance, could feed AI anything from staffing schedules to customer emails to ad copy, and let the model critique all of it. Andreessen also said product development works the same way: Give AI your recipe and ask how to improve it. "What's the best cinnamon roll recipe in the world? Work backward from that," he said."
AI can function as an extremely capable coach, mentor, therapist, advisor, or board member when users ask the right questions. The best AI capabilities are available on consumer apps, making the technology broadly accessible. Treating AI as a thought partner unlocks its power; the core skill is knowing which questions to ask. Practical use cases include feeding business data—schedules, emails, ad copy—for critique and optimization, or supplying product recipes to receive improvement and cost-optimization strategies. Meta-prompts can surface blind spots and teach users how to use AI more effectively. Prompting skill is crucial to realizing AI value.
