FridAI - AI Browsers Test Your Website + Markdown

From Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast Shannon Jean & Dave Hamilton

In this episode of Business Brain, we dig into the tools that make us better operators, starting with Markdown, the plain-text format John Gruber built to be human-readable and computer-friendly, and now the format our AI overlords love because it burns fewer tokens and runs faster. We share a free live-preview tool at markdownlivepreview.com and Dave’s go-to Mac app, then get real about software pricing: consumers overwhelmingly want to buy outright while enterprises prefer subscriptions, and why recurring revenue is what keeps the small developers we love in business.

Then we get into the FridAI meat: using agentic browsers like Comet to stress-test our own websites the way a customer would. How many clicks to find your contact form, file a warranty claim, or unsubscribe? We ask AI to surface the friction points, audit our SEO and AI engine optimization, and flag security holes, because an unpublished private API is not a private one. We even threw out one of our own user interfaces for a chat interface and watched engagement jump 10x. Test every customer touchpoint, keep the friction out, and keep living that Charmed Life.
