I was starting to get a bit fed up with the way people used AI to make things sound simpler than they really were. Simply request a business idea from ChatGPT.

Create the product using AI. “Post faceless videos.” “Add an affiliate link.”

Boom, it seems that you’ll be rich by Friday.

I wanted to find out what would occur if I stopped looking at other people doing it and instead gave AI a task to carry out.

Not something like “make me $10K” since that isn’t a strategy; instead I gave it a much simpler job, which was to help me identify a problem, turn the solution into something that people could buy, and then set up a small system around it.

I gave myself 30 days.

There are no employees, no large advertising budget — just some AI tools, a laptop, and plenty of persistence to carry on when the first version certainly ends up being a failure.

Here’s what happened.
