This week, I'd like to share how I saved $100,000 during our fundraising endeavor.

A brief introduction:
I am Serge Kuznetsov, the Co-founder of INXY.io. We recently reached a milestone of $2,000,000 in monthly volume and net revenue of $10,000. Additionally, we successfully closed an investment round.

The fundraising process took me almost a year and demanded enormous preparation for meetings, pitches, and follow-ups tailored to each investor—accounting for over 200 hours.

Coupled with this were extensive customer interviews, each requiring preparation and post-interview summaries, additionally 300+ hours of only my own time during the last six months).

I "hired" AI as a co-founder six months ago to manage routine major tasks. The result? A significant savings of over $100,000 and a reclaimed 4000+ hours for our team and me.

So...
- Use AI, Save time and money
- Work Smarter, Earn More!

How can you utilize it in your daily job?
​

Here are the tools you will be using:​
​1). YouTube to upload the videos.

2). Glasp - the browser plugin which allows transcribing YouTube videos (and making summaries, but we will make it 10x better). The plugin can be downloaded here: https://glasp.co/youtube-summary

3). Claude AI - one of the most potent AI chats, with the possibility to upload big text files, pdfs, etc. And it will allow you to work with any language. It works globally, but to register, you have to be located in US or UK, but it is easy to do with VPN. So change VPN to USA, register in Claude, and then use it free of charge! This is the link: https://claude.ai/

​
How to make the magic happen?

The first step - is to upload the video to YouTube. It is pretty simple. If you don't know how to do it, just Google: How do I upload a video to YouTube.
After you upload it, process it, which sometimes can take up to 20-30 min. When it's done, you will see the plugin's window "Transcript and summary," and to the right, there is a button "copy," which we will use.

Second step: is to paste it into Claude.io (use CRTL+V or COMMAND+V for MACs). If the video is long, it will be attached as a text file.

Third step: Put relevant PROMPT. The list of all prompts is at the end of the letter in blue color for your confidence.

Prompts are below - you can copy and test them!
