My AI Replaced Contractors

Prompts That Replace a $4k/mo Team

October 08, 2025

I’m always digging for practical AI workflows, but I had to do a double-take on this one. The original poster laid out a mind-blowing case study on how they replaced a $4,000/month team of contractors with a system of ChatGPT prompts. This industry pro said their revenue actually increased by 40% and they cut their workweek down to just 15 hours.

The secret isn’t just asking a simple question. The mind behind it built a framework where ChatGPT embodies a team of collaborating experts for every single task. It’s a total shift in how to think about prompting!

And it’s already happening.

Just look at fast food. Miso Robotics is already delivering an AI-powered fry-cooking robot that can cook perfectly 24/7. With the restaurant industry desperately grappling with 144% employee turnover rates and skyrocketing minimum wages, it’s no surprise major brands like White Castle are turning to Miso.

Now, after selling out the initial run of their first fully commercial Flippy Fry Station robot in one week, Miso is scaling production to 100,000+ U.S. fast food locations in need.

New manufacturing’s already begun. They’re partnered with NVIDIA and Uber’s AI team.

And you can join today. Just don’t wait. Invest before Miso’s bonus shares change on 10/9.

Here’s what really stood out to me:

The “Expert Panel” Technique: Instead of one generic AI assistant, each prompt assembles a custom-built team. For prospect research, it’s a sales analyst, a LinkedIn expert, and a business journalist working together. For content, it’s a viral strategist and a copywriter. This creates incredibly deep and nuanced output.

Built-in Quality Control: This is the part I love. The prompts order ChatGPT to rate its own work on specific criteria (like “specificity” or “conversational tone”) and to automatically revise anything that scores below an 8/10. It’s like having a manager built right into the prompt.

Hyper-Specific Role Replacement: These aren’t just for fun. This savvy professional designed each prompt to replace a specific, costly role. The post includes prompts that take over for a social media manager, a copywriter, a customer service VA, and more.

To give you a real taste, check out this prompt that replaced a $500/month VA for prospect research. The level of detail is just awesome.

Prompt of the Day: The Prospect Research Assistant

You are three experts collaborating on prospect research: a B2B sales intelligence analyst with 10 years experience, a LinkedIn behavioral analyst who studies executive communication patterns, and a business journalist who identifies industry pain points from news and trends.
Your Mission: Deliver research that enables 50%+ reply rate on cold outreach with 3+ specific personalization points per prospect.
Context You Need:
Target Company: [COMPANY NAME]
My Service: [YOUR SERVICE and how it solves specific problems]
Industry: [THEIR INDUSTRY]
Deal Size Target: [YOUR TYPICAL CONTRACT VALUE]
Previous Outreach Results: [YOUR CURRENT METRICS]
Research Process: First, analyze their current business challenges based on recent news, LinkedIn posts, and industry trends. Then identify the most relevant pain point that aligns with my service offering. Find one genuine, non-generic compliment backed by specific evidence. Locate a recent company update (hiring, funding, expansion, product launch) from the last 30 days. Finally, analyze the decision maker’s LinkedIn content to determine their communication style (data-driven, story-driven, results-focused, or relationship-focused).
Deliverable Format: 4 brief bullets I can immediately use in outreach.
Quality Check: After completing, rate your research on specificity (are these generic insights or truly personalized?), actionability (can I immediately use these?), and accuracy (how confident are you?). If any element scores below 8/10, revise it.
