The Multi-Agent Approach
Hoffman shared his strategy on the Moonshots with Peter Diamandis podcast:
- Pays for top-tier subscriptions across ChatGPT Pro ($200/month), Google's Gemini ($249.99/month), and Claude
- Runs prompts through multiple AI systems simultaneously
- Integrates results for "more substantive" outcomes
No Special Perks
Despite his Microsoft board position:
- Receives no dedicated GPU access
- Left OpenAI's board in 2023 to avoid conflicts
- Funds all subscriptions personally
Refined Prompt Engineering
Hoffman's workflow includes:
- Initial prompt requesting "deep research" framework
- AI returns 1.5-page refined prompt
- Personal edits before final submission
Cost Considerations
Total estimated monthly spend:
- Minimum $650+ not including Microsoft Copilot ($99/year)
- Office 365 license additional
- Forbes estimates $2.5B net worth makes this feasible
Broader AI Exploration
Hoffman has:
- Published book Superagency about AI's future
- Created "deepfake twin" to study the technology
- Advocates daily AI "deep research" usage
