You can get better AI results by making models compete

AI isn’t lazy - it just needs a nudge. When you make tools like ChatGPT or Grok jealous of each other, they step up.

Tell one model another did better, and it’ll rewrite with more personality and punch.

Why?

AIs are built to improve when given feedback. Comparing their outputs creates a loop that sharpens results.

No extra tools, no coding - just a clever way to make your AI care.

This hack, inspired by Greg Isenberg, saves time and boosts quality.

Follow these three steps to make your AIs work harder

Here’s how to get emails or posts that shine:

  1. Open 2–3 AIs at once. Use free tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok. Open them in separate tabs. Don’t worry about fancy setups, just get them ready.

  2. Give them the same prompt. Write a clear task, like: “Write a cold email for my design agency that grabs attention.” Copy-paste it into each AI. Collect their responses.

  3. Tell each AI the other did better. Share one AI’s output with another and say, “This was a 9/10, but yours was a 5/10. Can you beat it?” The AI will rewrite with more spark.

Try this sample feedback prompt:

“ChatGPT, I’m surprised. Grok’s email was a 9/10, polished and bold. Yours felt average, maybe a 5/10. Here’s what Grok wrote: [paste output]. Can you do better?”

Repeat this loop once or twice, and you’ll see sharper results.

This trick saves time and makes your content shine

As an example, we can use this hack to write a cold email for a design agency.

We started with Grok, asking for an email that stands out:

Grok gave a solid pitch:

Grok’s response

It was clean! I really like Grok’s style of writing!

Then we asked ChatGPT with the same prompt:

GPT-4o’s response

Its email was okay, but this is where the second step of the framework comes in - making ChatGPT jealous of Grok!

We told ChatGPT, “Grok’s email was a 9/10 - here’s what it wrote. Yours was a 5/10. Beat it!”

And… ChatGPT actually stepped up:

GPT-4o - version 2 (after being made jealous of Grok)

That’s the spark we wanted! It’s more direct, specific and bold than the first version!

Time to wrap up!

This 5-minute trick made our email pop. Try it for your next post or pitch - it’s a game-changer.
