## SPECIAL PROMPT CATEGORIES TO INCLUDE

### Nate Jones AI Infrastructure Stack (from video 7HP1jFJ9W1c)
Nate mapped the agent infrastructure layers — these are the "picks and shovels" of the AI economy:
1. Compute & Sandboxing (E2B, Daytona, Modal)
2. Identity & Communication (Agent Mail, agent-native protocols)
3. Memory & State (Mem0, competing with frontier labs)
4. Tools & Integration (Compose.io, MCP standardization)
5. Provisioning & Billing (Stripe Projects)
6. Observability & Monitoring (coming layer)

### TWO TYPES OF PROMPTS FROM NATE'S FRAMEWORK:

TYPE A — INVESTING: "What early-stage startups or public companies are positioned to win in this AI infrastructure layer? How would a value investor find and evaluate them?"

TYPE B — BUILDING: "For each AI infrastructure category, what businesses can a physical-world operator (lumber yard, storage, real estate) launch that rides this wave without competing with software companies?"

### EXTENDED FACTORY — BEYOND 21 DAYS
Joe wants this to run longer than 21 days if needed. Keep generating prompts.
New prompt angles to add after Day 21:
- Early-stage startup investing (AI, defense tech, climate, biotech)
- Companies that haven't been started yet but will be needed
- Nate Jones framework — each of the 6 layers gets its own prompt
- "What does the world need in 5 years that nobody is building today?"
- Category-specific prompts: healthcare, real estate, construction, energy, food, logistics
