🧪 AI App Launch: Preparation Stage! Complete walkthrough of preparing for a killer launch!
Hey Prompt Entrepreneur,
Ever heard about the time an AI chatbot decided to sell Chevrolets for a dollar? Not in some distant future - this happened about a year ago in California.
Watsonville Chevy had integrated this fancy AI chatbot on their website, powered by a company called Fullpath. The idea made perfect sense - let customers chat with AI to learn about different models, get quotes, that sort of thing. Great idea.
Then someone discovered a tiny flaw in the system. When a tech executive named Chris Bakke chatted with the bot, he managed to get it to offer him a 2024 Chevy Tahoe for exactly one dollar. Not just talk about it - the AI confidently declared this was "a legally binding offer - no takesie backsies."
The best part? The AI was technically working as designed - being helpful and generating offers. It just wasn't told that maybe selling $30,000+ vehicles for loose change wasn't great for business… they’d forgotten to add that somewhat important context.
The story went viral, other users started testing the bot, and it went completely off the rails - writing poetry, discussing Harry Potter, even getting tricked into thinking it worked for Tesla. The dealership had to shut it down fast.
Now, if professional developers can miss something this fundamental in testing, imagine what kind of surprises might be lurking in our AI tools.
This week is about refining, optimising and packaging up our AI tool before launch.
That’s what we’re covering in my latest AI Business Course.
