Cursor Replaces Your Entire Business Stack (Full Demo)
Greg Isenberg • July 07, 2025
Greg Isenberg and Amir demonstrate how Cursor, using Model Context Protocols (MCPs), can unify business operations—handling finance, analytics, UX/design, marketing, and QA—via natural language commands within a single IDE. They showcase live demos connecting to Zero, Humbolytics, Playwright, Firecrawl, and Perplexity MCPs to fetch profit reports, automate quotes, perform UX audits, generate content, and run QA flows without leaving Cursor.
Key Takeaways:
- By connecting to the Zero MCP, Cursor can retrieve profit reports and create quotes/invoices via single-sentence commands, replacing manual navigation in accounting software.
- Using Playwright MCP, Cursor automates UX audits and QA by capturing screenshots, executing browser flows (e.g., logins), and offering A/B test recommendations based on live analytics from the Humbolytics MCP.
- Firecrawl and Perplexity MCPs in Cursor allow marketers to scrape website content into custom context files, perform deep research, and generate SEO-optimized articles and outbound templates with keyword-driven prompts.
Mastering ChatGPT: Advanced techniques for workplace communication and productivity | Hiten Shah
How I AI Podcast • July 07, 2025
Hiten Shah demonstrates how to use ChatGPT’s Projects feature to load personalized context—like boss operating manuals, personality frameworks, and sales methodologies—into reusable GPTs that simulate human feedback and streamline communication.
Key Takeaways:
- Shah creates a project named “WWMD” (What Would Morgan Do?) by uploading his boss Morgan’s operating manual and favorite articles, enabling ChatGPT to mimic Morgan’s voice and feedback for tailored pitches.
- He emphasizes frontloading context and “showing AI what great looks like” by providing examples or frameworks, archiving temporary chats to keep memories clean, and iterating prompts until outputs match expectations.
- By importing Winning by Design’s SPICE framework PDFs into a dedicated ChatGPT project, Shah instantly generates discovery call question sets, gap analyses, and sales playbooks in seconds.
