I didn't expect 50+ of you to raise your hand on those polls. I figured maybe 15? So either I'm terrible at predicting things... (Confirmed. Ask me about my track record for March Madness!) OR... EZ A.I. Income is something that people actually want. Here's what we're putting together... A small group. We all build an AI tool TOGETHER. We find partners TOGETHER. We launch TOGETHER. Not a course. Not a replay library. Not a "community" where everyone reads and nobody does anything. (This WILL be a "get your rear in gear" party where we get things DONE!) This is a BUILD TOGETHER situation. Show up. Build something. Ship it. See what happens. I'm locking down the details this week. If you raised your hand already — you're on the list. If you missed it and want in... Drop your favorite meme below before I stop paying attention. 😂

Yesterday I talked about how a 23-year-old partnered with an influencer to build an AI tool doing $45k/month. Today I want to show you how braindead simple building this stuff actually is. I recorded a quick video creating a working AI tool from scratch in under ten minutes. I can’t code. I just told the thing what I wanted and it built it. (Actually, I just got even lazier and just clicked 2-3 buttons.) My 9-year-old daughter made THREE of these in an afternoon last weekend. She just described what she wanted (including one that showed her what she’d look like with different hairstyles), and walked away with working apps. ===> Watch the walkthrough below (9-minute video) 👇👇👇 It doesn’t have to be perfect. You just need something you can actually SHOW someone and say, “I built this for your audience. Want to take a look?” FUNWORK: Go to aistudio.google.com, build something in 5-10 minutes, and drop DONE in the comments. I’ve got a special bonus for the action-takers. :-) In this with ya, Jason PS — If you’re stuck on what to build, just click “I’m feeling lucky” to get your juices flowing. PPS — The image here is a trippy, Salvador Dali-style picture my "dream analysis" tool made from my made-up fever dream. I told it I was going to take a math test when I got ran over by a turtle and all my teeth feel out. Pretty beautiful way to capture it, amirite?

Are you in for something fun? Sound off with a funny GIF! 👇 The funniest one will get a signed copy of my new book. (It's on Amazon.) I betcha can't guess the title! 😅 Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I wanna do a HAPPY HOUR AMA - ticket price? Show a copy of my new book!

So let's say you've got a tool idea — or you've already built something rough. Maybe it took a weekend, maybe you're still figuring out the technical stuff. Either way, you've got SOMETHING. Now what? This is the part I got wrong for a LOOOOOONG time. I used to pitch people on ideas. "Hey, I think we could build something cool together. What if we made a tool that does X for your audience?" And I'd get the polite nod — the "sounds interesting, let me think about it" — and then nothing would happen. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what was going on. When you pitch an idea, you're asking someone to imagine something that doesn't exist, believe it'll work, and trust that you'll actually build it. That's a lot of mental effort to ask from someone who doesn't know you. But when you show up with something already built — even a rough prototype — it's a completely different conversation. It's like the difference between asking someone if they wanna start a band together versus inviting them to jam with your band that's already got a gig next Friday. One is you asking them to take a leap of faith, and the other is just an invitation to join something that's already moving. Here's why this matters for royalty deals… When you build the tool first, you're not asking for permission or trying to convince them — you're offering something that already exists. "This does the thing. It works. You want to put your name on it and split the revenue, or should I take it to someone else?" And if they pass? You tweak it for the next creator's audience and offer it again, or you clone it and approach someone in a different niche. The tool stays yours either way. Now — I get that building something without knowing if anyone will want it feels risky. But... With today's AI and $20/month, you can spin up a working prototype in a few hours. I just got a check for $300 this weekend for something I built 6 months ago. And it continues to pay me every month.

I've been thinking about what it means now that ANYONE can whip up a working AI tool in a weekend. Even people like me... People who wouldn't know computer code if it bit them in the face. The world is our oyster! It took me about 3 hours to rebuild every.to's writing tool. (see pic of my working version 👇). Maybe 45 minutes of that was actual AI work... And the rest was me fiddling with fonts and colors like a weirdo. The end result wasn't anything super fancy. BUT... With tools just like this, we could monetize it eleventy-seven ways to Sunday. A year ago, building something like this would've required either a developer on payroll... ... or months of learning to code yourself. Now we can get it done in a lazy Sunday afternoon with some YouTube tutorials and a cup of coffee. The barrier to creating useful AI tools has basically collapsed. Which means the sticking point isn't really about building anymore. It's about what you DO with the thing once it exists. I've been noodling on this a lot… There are newsletter creators, course creators, coaches, consultants — all these people sitting on frameworks and methodologies that could become tools. Most of them have no idea how to build anything, and most of them don't have the time or interest to learn. But we can build something in a weekend that solves a real problem for their audience. Whether it's THEIR frameworks... Or our OWN (which we can put in as many different distribution streams as we can dream up). So the question I keep coming back to is this… If you could clone any tool — or build one from scratch — in a weekend, what would you make? And more importantly, who would you take it to? I'm not looking for polished business plans here. I'm just curious what's rattling around in your head, even if it's half-baked. Drop it below. In Your Corner, Jason PS - I'll share the clone I built if there's interest. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
