AI HUSTLE REMOTE | SEPTEMBER 20th 2025

You're constantly iterating, launching, and trying to build something customers love. But how do you know what they really think, what truly matters, or what to fix next? Traditional surveys are slow, clunky, and analyzing the results feels like homework.

Tpday, forget the data science degree. We're going to build your own AI Feedback Analyst. Using simple micro-surveys and automation, you can gather honest, open-ended customer feedback and have AI automatically categorize, summarize, and even suggest improvements – all delivered to you in a clear, actionable report.

These Are The Skills That Could Actually Build You Wealth

In 2026, another “personal finance tip” isn’t gonna cut it. You’ll need to learn how to build ownership or risk getting left in the dust.

You could spend years (and a lot of money) figuring it out… or 3 days with us at Main Street Millionaire Live, a virtual event where veteran operators walk you through the entire ownership-building playbook:

  • Sept. 19th: Deal Sourcing

  • Sept. 20th: Financing & Negotiation

  • Sept. 21st: Ownership & Scaling

Will 3 days make you an expert? No. But for shockingly little $, you’ll get exposure to the real-world tools, tactics, and network needed to become one in the weeks and months after.

Plus, you’ll get $1k+ worth of digital products, just for showing up. Seriously.

The Hustle: Your AI Feedback Analyst for Rapid Micro-Surveys

The Goal: To quickly gather open-ended customer feedback, automatically analyze it for key themes and sentiment, and generate actionable insights for product or service improvement.

The Tools:

  • Micro-Survey Tool: Google Forms, Typeform, or Tally (free and easy)

  • Automation Platform: Make.com or n8n

  • AI Model: OpenAI's API (using a GPT-4 or Claude 3 model for nuanced analysis)

  • Destination: Google Sheet for raw data + a daily/weekly email summary or Notion page for analyzed insights.

Here’s the 4-step workflow to build your AI Feedback Analyst:

Step 1: Design Your Micro-Survey (The Input)

The key here is micro. Keep it to 1-3 open-ended questions. Avoid multiple choice if you want rich AI analysis.

  • Example Questions:

    • "What's one thing we could do to make [Product/Service Name] even better?"

    • "What was your favorite part of [Recent Interaction/Feature]?"

    • "What problem does [Product/Service Name] solve for you, and how could we solve it better?"

  • Distribution: Embed it on your website, include it in email footers, send it after a purchase, or share it on social media.

Step 2: Connect Your Data (The Trigger)

In your automation platform (Make.com or n8n), set up the trigger for new survey responses.

  • Use a Google Forms/Typeform/Tally module to "Watch for new responses."

  • This module will automatically kick off your workflow every time a customer submits feedback.

Step 3: The AI Analyst (Categorize, Summarize, Suggest)

This is where your AI goes to work, taking raw text feedback and turning it into intelligence. Add an OpenAI Chat Model node and connect it to your survey trigger.

  • Input: The open-ended text response from your survey.

  • The Master Prompt:

    Code snippet

    ‘You are an expert customer feedback analyst. I have received the following customer feedback for [Your Product/Service, e.g., "my online course on AI automation"]. Customer Feedback: "[PASTE CUSTOMER RESPONSE HERE]" Your task is to analyze this feedback and extract the following: 1. **Sentiment:** (Positive, Negative, Neutral, Mixed) 2. **Primary Theme/Category:** (e.g., Pricing, Feature Request, Bug Report, User Experience, Content Quality, Customer Service) 3. **Specific Mention/Quote:** A short, direct quote from the feedback that exemplifies the primary theme. 4. **Actionable Suggestion:** Based *only* on this single piece of feedback, suggest one specific, practical way to improve [Your Product/Service].’

  • Why this prompt works: It forces the AI to be specific and actionable, not just vague.

Step 4: Your Actionable Report (The Output)

Finally, compile all this rich AI-analyzed data into a format you can easily review and act on.

  • Use a Google Sheets module to append a new row for each survey response. Map the data from your AI Analyst node to columns like: Timestamp, Raw Feedback, Sentiment, Primary Theme, Specific Quote, and Actionable Suggestion.

  • Optional but powerful: Set up a second, scheduled workflow (e.g., daily/weekly) that uses another OpenAI Chat Model node to read all the new rows in your Google Sheet. Prompt it to: Summarize the top 3 positive themes and top 3 negative themes from the attached spreadsheet. Then, suggest 3 overarching, high-impact improvements based on the compiled feedback.. Send this summarized report to yourself via an Email module.

Why This Hustle Works:

  • Real-Time, Actionable Insights: Stop waiting weeks to process feedback. Get a pulse on customer sentiment daily.

  • Identifies Hidden Patterns: AI can quickly find themes in open-ended text that you might miss manually.

  • Fuels Product Development: Directly feeds you ideas for what to build next or how to improve existing offerings.

  • Scalable & Cost-Effective: Build a continuous feedback loop without hiring an analyst or spending hours on spreadsheets.

This agent empowers you to be incredibly responsive to your customers, making them feel heard and helping you build a product they truly love – automatically.

🚀 The AI Pulse: 3 Signals to Watch This Week

  • The Unsexy AI Comeback: Hard Drives are Booming. While everyone's talking about Nvidia chips and AI software, the humble hard drive is quietly making a massive comeback. Western Digital and Seagate are reporting huge revenue boosts, driven by AI's insatiable need for storage. AI models not only consume vast amounts of data for training but also generate tons of new data (text, images, video) that needs to live somewhere. The Hustle Take: This is a subtle but crucial signal about the true cost and logistics of AI. For your hustle, if you're working with large datasets, generating a lot of AI content, or thinking about building data-heavy applications, understand that storage isn't free. This also highlights a potential niche: AI data management and archiving solutions. Companies will need help organizing and securing this mountain of AI-generated data. "Boring" infrastructure makes everything else possible.

  • Nvidia's $2.7B Boost for UK AI Startups. Nvidia, the AI chip giant, is investing $2.71 billion to supercharge AI startups and create jobs in the UK, partnering with venture capital firms. The goal is to solidify the UK's position as a leader in AI innovation. The Hustle Take: This is a clear indicator of where smart money is flowing for AI entrepreneurship. If you're based in the UK, this is a massive green light to explore funding, partnerships, and talent opportunities. But even if you're not, it signals that governments and major corporations are actively trying to cultivate regional AI ecosystems. Look for similar initiatives in your region or niche – there might be grants, accelerators, or investment funds specifically looking to back AI innovation. Don't just build, build where the infrastructure and funding are being laid.

  • Nvidia Caught in US-China Chip War Crossfire. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is navigating a high-stakes geopolitical battle. The U.S. is restricting advanced chip exports to China, while China is actively discouraging the use of Nvidia chips and pushing its own domestic capabilities. This creates immense pressure for Nvidia from both sides. The Hustle Take: This highlights the fragility of global supply chains for core AI components. For your hustle, this means you need to think about model and hardware redundancy. Don't get locked into a single AI model or platform that might face future geopolitical restrictions or supply issues. Building systems that are modular and can swap out underlying AI models (e.g., from OpenAI to Claude to Gemini) provides crucial resilience. It also underscores the rising importance of open-source AI models which offer greater independence from any single nation or company.
