Hi Paul
I purchased a handful of your products. Is there a resonating why you do not create case studies that leverage AI in the solutions? ie Lensly, AI solutions for small businesses etc?
Hey, I really appreciate you grabbing some of my products — seriously means a lot 🙏
Great question too. So here’s the deal… I totally get the power of showing longform case studies, but a lot of times I’m testing things super fast and trying tons of stuff. Instead of doing the deep dives all the time, I try to focus on giving you actionable info you can plug in right away. That said, I’m always evolving and might mix in more of those kinds of case studies soon — so stay tuned 👀

Are you saying connecting gem to ai voice agent? Or connecting gem to chat bot in Gemini on their website
Great question! What I’m showing is how you can bridge those tools to create something more powerful — like combining AI voice agents and chat interactions from platforms like Gemini. It opens up some really cool automation possibilities!
If you want to go deeper, I’ve got a free training that breaks more of this down: iampauljames.com

How are the customers asking questions to the gem? You’ve mentioned upsell to be a chat bot on their website but what is the standard service
Great question! The standard service is usually helping businesses get leads or appointments — basically helping them grow. The AI can just be a bonus that answers FAQs or helps convert visitors. Upselling the chatbot just adds more value for your client and gives you a reason to charge more 😉

@iampauljamesdoesn’t make sense but thanks bot
@markymark8472he means the primary service will be to generate leads for that business perhaps by running ads and while doing that you can also offer them an upgrade (or another service) where you can provide them these trained Gems which can chat to those leads and give them the business infomation as many times the same questiins are asked so tge Gems can be trained for that

Are you kididng? These gems link you will send to business owners as it is? And they cannot find out that u developed this gem with some prompt and pdf;s..Whats stopping them to build it themselves? It would have been valuable if u had provided a UI which is backed by a gem.But alas…Questions like metering, usage and analytics are unanswered as usual.
Hey, I totally get where you’re coming from — valid concerns. The truth is, most business owners just want results, not the tech behind it. And trust me, even if they could build it themselves, most won’t take the time. That’s where the opportunity is. As for UI and deeper analytics — that’s definitely something you can build out over time as you scale. Appreciate you thinking critically about it!

Hey Paul you always drop value, one issue that keeps bothering me is that the Gem link that we send to customers opens in Gemini and if they are not logged in already, once they log in they go the regular Gemini chat not our Gem, how can we handle this?
Specially this is the case with Instagram and Tiktok where the Gem link is opened inside their own browsers and have the same issue. 😢
Appreciate the kind words! 🙌 Yeah, that issue happens a lot with in-app browsers like IG or TikTok… the best workaround I’ve found is adding a note above the link telling people to copy/paste it into Safari or Chrome if it doesn’t work right inside the app. Not perfect, but it helps! Hopefully platforms improve that soon.

Can I integrate it into WhatsApp or telegram if so how do I do it?
Great question! You totally can set up AI with WhatsApp or Telegram—it just takes a bit of extra setup with third-party tools or some custom scripting. A lot of people are using bots to automate responses and processes there.
