I had a password for one of my GPTs was the word banana pants.

And someone didn't know the password and then it wrote back and was like, let me give you a clue.

And then it used the banana emoji and the pants emoji.

@Prep2Perform

GPTs are not embeddable.

So keep that in mind.

@Prep2Perform

I did this using NotebookLM.

It's totally for free.

Molly Mahoney quotes about brand & identity

Molly believes your weird is your superpower. AI only works when it has your real voice behind it.

@Prep2Perform

Your brand has to start with you.

Your weird is your superpower.

Your AI needs soul.

@Prep2Perform

When you know what makes you weird, AI becomes easy.

Source: AI Creator Summit

If you can celebrate the things that you feel a little bit of shame around, it actually allows your audience to feel seen and heard.

Source: AI Creator Summit

The problem that most people have is that they have no clue what they actually want.

And so before we even start using AI, we need to get clear about what do we actually want?

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Before you get into anything else, figure out your company's voice, your brand voice.

Source: AI Creator Summit

Document all of your company details into one living, breathing place.

I have a spreadsheet that has everything I've ever written on my personal Facebook profile since 2018.

We don't own these platforms, so I back them up.

Molly Mahoney on marketing

Molly goes beyond pain points with tickle points and the Cinderella slipper test. Adding "AI" to your sales page is no longer enough to stand out.

@Prep2Perform

Simply adding AI to your sales page and your marketing copy used to be a really big deal because there wasn't a lot of people using AI.

Today, that is the bare minimum.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Your clients are more than pain points and different is better than better.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Your ideal client needs to feel just like Cinderella with her slipper, like it's the perfect solution.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

When people say, what do you do, do you know how to actually answer that in a way that is clear and concise and makes them go, yes, take my credit card, let me throw it at your face?

A lot of people talk about pain points.

We also talk about tickle points, like what are the things that make them laugh, get super detailed.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

That video actually turned into loads of leads and sales.

Quotes by Molly Mahoney on entrepreneurship

Molly says most people don't actually understand their own business. You need frameworks and systems before AI agents can help you.

@Prep2Perform

If you keep rebuilding a new process every time you do something, you are going to be exhausted.

And speaking of these AI agents, you'll not be able to teach them how to do something the way that you want it because you don't even know what you want.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

You have to have clarity.

You have to have courage.

That leads to confidence.

That unlocks your creativity.

Then you have to use your critical thinking.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Just don't skip the part about figuring out who you are as a human being.

I think our personal brands are the most important thing right now and building those real relationships.

So figure out who you are first and then give yourself the gift of taking some time to put those systems into place.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I know it may take a little more time upfront, but it is gonna be so worth it on the backend.

Get out there and actually do real things.

Don't let this stuff get dusty sitting on your computer.

Go talk to humans and make magic happen.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Half of the people that I meet, or even 75%, don't really actually understand what they are doing with their business.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I created the SOAR framework framework so that you can create a framework.

It's very meta.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I took all of the frameworks that I have in our coaching program and I put them into this giant poster that I now can hang on a wall or use as a pop-up stand at events.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Our whole thing is now we're going to start having events where we're actually installing our system into your process.

Molly Mahoney quotes on AI agents

Molly built agents inside GoHighLevel and Claude, including a voice agent named after her grandma and a Chrome extension called Bobby Bot.

@Prep2Perform

When changes happen with AI or new tools come out, most people ask themselves, how can I use this to help my business?

I think the more powerful question is, how can I use this to help other people to grow their business?

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

An AI assistant is something that is like ChatGPT basic B.

You just ask it for something and it gives it to you.

An AI agent is something that actually goes out and does something on the back of your business or on your computer.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I don't ever want to trick people into thinking that they're talking to me when it's an AI.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

They also have a new conversation AI flow builder.

Rather than having a prompt for an AI agent that's like, if they say this, then do that, this is more like the way that n8n is built out, where you can have like a choose your own adventure.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I would rather have it be a team member that they're like connecting with who has their own personality, their own soul.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

An MCP is a model context protocol.

It's basically something that connects your dreams via like a switchboard operator to the right tools, but you don't even have to know which tool to use.

You just say, I wanna do this, and then it's like, great, I'll do it.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

In GoHighLevel, you can now train this agent.

It can be connected to a knowledge base.

You can trigger workflows.

You can add MCPs.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

In GoHighLevel, you can get unlimited AI tokens for all the AI things that you're using for $99.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I named her after my grandma.

She thinks I'm on the cruise because I kept her as an example.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

As soon as MCPs came out, I was like, yep, I'm not gonna spend my time with n8n anymore because I know that I'm gonna be able to just do this by talking to someone.

Molly Mahoney about Claude Code

Molly migrated 154 custom GPTs into Claude Code skills. She considers the Claude Max plan the most valuable AI subscription available.

@Prep2Perform

GPT stacking is when you use the at symbol, you can actually bring multiple GPTs into one chat.

So you could have a whole collection of mentors solving one problem together by using this at symbol.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I asked Claude, I said, give me a list of tasks that you could do while I sleep.

And it went through these 154 skills that I had given it and gave me specific tasks related to my business.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I really think that the most valuable subscription you can have is the Max plan of Claude.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

We had 154 GPTs and Claude turned every single one into a skill.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

The skill maker is even more powerful.

And what I love about what Claude does is that it will go through and test it out for you and then come back and do feedback.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

You can take that custom GPT and put it into Claude and tell it, hey, make this a skill.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I had a team member go into ChatGPT and just back them all up.

And then I just told Claude, hey, go to this spreadsheet and turn all these into skills.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I find that I don't actually need things like n8n all that much anymore because Claude and Perplexity Computer can handle it.

Top Molly Mahoney quotes on social selling

Molly turns simple Facebook posts into hundreds of comments and leads using activation offers, GroupTrack, and AI-powered follow-ups.

@Prep2Perform

That's what I call the easy bake AI expert.

That's not gonna work.

Cause you may get people responding to the hype up front, but they're not gonna stick around.

So if you're gonna do stuff like this, you'd better actually have an awesome solution to give them.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

If you're gonna say mind blowing prompts, they really need to be mind blowing prompts and they really need to be unique.

@Prep2Perform

OMG, I created an AI tool, solution.

Want it?

Super super simple.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

For years, I've been using three GPTs to write my own content.

Want access?

We had over 100 comments on this one.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I used AI to create a month of content in 15 minutes, steal the process in the comments.

And so each comment has a link.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Once that got a lot of comments, I changed the post and I added a link to it.

That way people can come back and get it.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

We use a tool called GroupTrack.

The basic level of it turns your Facebook profile into a CRM that mirrors something like GoHighLevel or Close.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Within three days, we sold 131 sales in this software and we had 20 order bumps.

Totally organic, no ads.

These are what I call activation offers.

Molly Mahoney on automation

Molly's stack is GoHighLevel, GroupTrack, and ManyChat. Every comment, DM, and group join flows into one CRM.

@Prep2Perform

In one chat, I can see Facebook, Instagram, text message, email, WhatsApp, all in one conversation.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

ManyChat was my first online boyfriend.

I love ManyChat and everything that it gave me in my life starting in 2018.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Everyone who comments on a post, I can put them all on a spreadsheet because it just moves them into a CRM.

And then that can move them to Google Sheets or everybody who joins a Facebook group, with the click of a button, I can have them all go into my GoHighLevel and send them a welcome email.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

At the second level, what it does is it will do automations as well.

It's a Chrome extension.

It sits on top of your computer and there's an AI response.

You give it the link, you say this is the text from the post, and then it writes an AI generated response to every single comment.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

I sent 110 of them yesterday.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

We're building out all of our comment automations now inside GoHighLevel.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

For my new Instagram, we're only using GoHighLevel because it instantly brings them into everything else in my business.

It has made things so easy to have it all connected in one spot.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Prep2Perform

Now that Facebook has changed the rules that you can't do broadcasts anymore, once she gets the subscribers in there, there's not a lot that you can do with the subscribers if they aren't engaging and you have to pay for all those subscribers.

FAQs about Molly Mahoney

The questions people ask most about Molly Mahoney, answered from Molly Mahoney's own words.

"AI without soul is spam."

It captures her entire philosophy on using AI as a creator.

She believes AI should elevate your unique voice, not replace it.

She warns against becoming what she calls an "easy bake AI expert" who skips real expertise and lets AI create junk.

She migrated 154 custom GPTs into Claude Code skills and considers the Max plan the most valuable AI subscription you can get.

"I find that I don't actually need things like n8n all that much anymore because Claude and Perplexity Computer can handle it."

She makes a clear distinction.

An AI assistant just answers questions.

An AI agent actually goes out and does things in your business.

She built her own agents inside GoHighLevel and Claude Code.

It's Molly's framework for building a brand that has real personality before you start using AI.

The core idea: figure out what makes you weird, document your brand voice, and then AI becomes easy.

She uses Claude Code, GoHighLevel, GroupTrack, ManyChat, NotebookLM, Base44, and a custom Chrome extension she built called Bobby Bot.

Molly Mahoney uses this phrase to describe individuals who ignore their own knowledge and simply use automated tools to produce low quality material.

Mahoney explains that while such tactics might attract initial hype from audiences, buyers will not stick around without genuine value.

In Mahoney's words, "We end up with all of these, what I call easy bake AI experts, which is people who skip over their own expertise and just use AI to create a bunch of junk."

Mahoney insists that any business identity must begin with the individual person rather than technology.

Mahoney advises entrepreneurs that embracing eccentricities and talking about things that feel slightly embarrassing helps an audience feel seen and heard.

As Mahoney notes, "When you know what makes you weird, AI becomes easy."

Most of them come from the AI Creator Summit.
