In this segment, the speaker outlines an AI‑centric mentorship program that automates the entire applicant evaluation and development process. When a user submits an application on the website, the system instantly evaluates it across six to seven critical dimensions, marking each with a check (if sufficient) or an X accompanied by a popup that explains what is missing. The feedback is also emailed to the applicant, who can then refine and resubmit their application. The AI continues to support the participant through the customer‑discovery phase, specifying how many interviews are needed, grading the quality of those interviews, and linking the participant to a mastermind group for further guidance. The overall narrative positions AI as a continuous, data‑driven mentor that provides real‑time, actionable insights throughout the program.

So I think what we've done in our program is basically build the trunk of it in AI. As I was just describing, when somebody submits an application on the website, it automatically gives them some feedback on the 6 or 7 areas that we think that are critical. And so it'll give you a checkmark if we think you've done enough work. It'll give you an X mark with a popup that says, here's what you need to do in this area. And all of this gets emailed to you as well. So you basically get some immediate feedback on it. And if you want to do the work and refine it and resubmit, awesome. But we take that all the way through the process. So now in customer discovery, we tell you exactly how many of these you need to do. We grade the quality of the interviews you do all through AI, and it connects through a mastermind.
