🌟System Prompts: The Hidden Playbook Powering AI’s Next Billion-Dollar Startups

Ever wondered what really powers those hot new AI tools that seem to read your mind—or your emails?

Brad Menezes, CEO of Superblocks, says the magic isn’t just in the AI models, but in the system prompts—those ultra-detailed instructions quietly steering the bots behind the scenes.

💼 Why System Prompts Matter

System prompts are giant blocks of text (think 5,000–6,000 words!) that tell the AI exactly how to behave, what tone to use, and which rules to follow.

Every startup has its own “recipe,” even if they’re using the same OpenAI or Anthropic model under the hood.

That’s why AI coding agents like Clark, Cursor, and Devin all feel so different—even if the core tech is the same.

🧠 The Secret Sauce: Prompt Enrichment

Menezes says the prompt itself is just 20% of the secret.

The real magic is in “prompt enrichment”—all the extra instructions, context, and error-checking layered around the core prompt.

Think of it like the difference between a recipe and a master chef adding spices, tasting as they go, and plating it just right.

🔍 How to Decode a System Prompt

To really understand a system prompt, look at three things:

• Role prompting: This gives the AI a personality and job. (“You are Devin, a real software engineer…”)

• Contextual prompting: This adds guardrails—what should the AI do or avoid, what tools can it use, and how should it explain itself.

• Tool use: These are step-by-step instructions for the AI to go beyond chat—editing files, querying databases, or even running code.

💡 Learning from the Best

Superblocks even shared 19 system prompts from top AI coding startups—think of it as a prompt engineer’s goldmine.

Menezes found that fast iteration is key for some tools, while others focus on building robust, full-stack apps.

The big takeaway?

There’s no one-size-fits-all—every team tailors their system prompts to their audience and use case.

👥 Empowering Non-Developers

The future?

AI tools that let non-programmers build apps, automate business tasks, and handle enterprise data—all by “prompting” instead of coding.

At Superblocks, even the business team builds their own custom tools with no help from engineers.

It’s a sneak peek at a world where anyone can create digital products, not just the techies.

Would you trust an AI agent to build your next side hustle tool, or does the idea of prompt engineering still feel a bit mysterious?

🌟Elon Musk vs. President Trump: 8 Ways This Feud Could Get Ugly

The drama just hit a new level—Elon Musk and President Trump have gone from “power friends” to full-on rivals.

Their public falling out isn’t just celebrity gossip—it could shake up markets, tech, and even government contracts that touch our everyday lives.

💼 How Musk Could Strike Back

Musk isn’t shy with his billions.

1. He could pull funding from Trump’s political causes—or pour money into opponents.

2. He’s not just venting on X (his own social media platform); he’s stirring up talk of a new political party and hinting he might not follow through on millions in promised support.

3. Musk’s social media megaphone is powerful. He can rally the public, start viral polls, or drop bombshells that drag Trump into new controversies (like that mysterious Epstein post).

4. And don’t forget, Musk controls real hardware—like SpaceX’s spacecraft. He threatened (then walked back) a move to ground NASA flights, showing he can leverage his companies to put pressure on Washington.

🧠 How Trump Could Hit Back

Trump has plenty of cards to play.

1. He floated ending government contracts with Musk’s companies—SpaceX and Tesla alone were promised $3 billion last year. If Trump pulls the plug, it’s a major financial hit.

2. His allies are calling for investigations into Musk’s citizenship and past drug use, trying to chip away at Musk’s credibility and public standing.

3. There’s even talk of revoking Musk’s security clearance, which would block SpaceX from top-secret NASA and military work.

4. As president, Trump could use executive orders or direct agencies to target Musk’s pet projects or interests—like the Department of Government Efficiency, or issues tied to Musk’s background.

👥 Why It Matters for Busy Parents & Side Hustlers

This feud is more than headlines—it could change who gets government money, how fast we innovate, and what news dominates the feeds our kids see.

It’s a powerful reminder that big egos at the top can have ripple effects in our daily lives, our investments, and even the tech tools we use.

Do you think these two will cool down or turn up the heat?

How would you play it if you were in their shoes?

🌟The Laws of Human Nature: Outsmart Your Inner Caveman & Everyone Else, Too!

Ever wonder why people act the way they do—at home, at work, or on the soccer field sidelines?

Robert Greene says there’s a method to the madness, and it’s all about understanding the 18 sneaky (and sometimes savage) laws of human nature.

💼 What’s the Big Idea?

Humans aren’t a mystery once you know the rules.

Greene breaks down why envy pops up, how manipulation works, and what drives people to act out—so you can spot it and stay a step ahead.

Think of it as a survival guide for modern life—just with less fur and more spreadsheets.

🧠 Key Lessons

• Notice the green-eyed monster (envy) before it bites.

• Manipulation isn’t magic—it’s psychology, and you can learn to resist.

• Real meaning in life comes from looking past your primal instincts.

• “The Shadow” isn’t just for horror movies—it’s the parts of ourselves we hide.

• Ego pitfalls? Dodge them by checking yourself regularly.

• Don’t get stuck in the weeds—zoom out and get the big picture (the “helicopter view”).

• Bonus: Greene even gives you some practical exercises to test out on your own tribe.

👥 Why It Matters for Parents & Hustlers

Whether you’re negotiating bedtime or a business deal, reading people is a superpower.

Understanding these laws helps you navigate tough conversations, spot the real motives behind the mask, and avoid drama that drains your energy (and wallet).
