The 6 AI “Layers” Every Founder Should Know

Description

Breaking Down AI: Series #2

AI didn’t show up to replace founders.
It showed up to work with them—if you know how to use it wisely.

In this episode of Bootstrap Banter, we break down the AI ecosystem into 6 essential layers every entrepreneur must understand before investing time, money, or mental energy into tools and platforms.

From the Interface Layer that simplifies your daily workflows, to Agents, Orchestration, Models, Data, and Infrastructure, this episode helps you cut through the noise and understand what actually matters for your business stage.

This isn’t a technical deep dive.
It’s a founder-first framework designed for:

Solopreneurs building lean
Founders scaling without burning out
Startups making smart GTM and tech decisions

You’ll learn:

Why AI is a collaborator, not a threat
How different AI layers work together behind the scenes
Common mistakes founders make when adopting AI too early or blindly
How to reduce operational overload without losing clarity

We also share how Passionate Pulse supports founders with AI-powered marketing, sales, and customer acquisition strategies—without killing authenticity.

🎧 Tune in if you want clarity, not chaos.
Stay curious. Stay intentional. Stay passionate.
