(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nThe Lipstick Lesbians, a beauty discovery platform, contend that as AI plays a larger role in beauty discovery, human expertise, touch, and personal connection will only become more valuable, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): as your category becomes more commoditized (more competitors, more AI, lower margins), look for the part of the buyer journey that *cannot* be automated — touch, community, curation, opinion. Build your moat around that. Run this: if you sell beauty, fashion, or any tactile category, create a 'human curation' service or community (Discord, email newsletter, live shopping) where the founder or team member personally recommend products and explain the 'why' that an algorithm cannot. Charge a premium for this tier. The human layer is the moat.\nWhat that means for you: as your category becomes more commoditized (more competitors, more AI, lower margins), look for the part of the buyer journey that *cannot* be automated — touch, community, curation, opinion.

Charge a premium for this tier. The human layer is the moat.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/beauty/lipstick-lesbians-ai-beauty-discovery-leaked-labs/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
