One year ago me , and started this community with one idea: help people build real AI businesses. 2,484 members later — here is the honest version of what happened.
We are discontinuing this free Skool andGHL SAAS. I will share everything in details.
Starting from our Year 1 report card:
We attracted 2,484 members. Most are watching, not building. That is on us, not them. Free communities attract everyone. Not everyone is ready to build.
We paid GoHighLevel $13,200 over 12 months and deployed 111 subaccounts across different industries.
Their platform was built for 2019 marketing agencies — not for AI agents like Jarvis and Tony Stark running 24/7. We cancelled it last week and never looked back.
We built Jarvis - our own AI-native CRM. Local database. Direct Twilio. Direct Resend. Full stack we own for $30/month. It replaced $1,100/month overnight.
We shipped real client work — AI sales agents, reactivation workflows, lead gen systems. Real businesses, real results, real money.
And we made every mistake a first-year AI business makes. Wrong pricing. Wrong ICP. Too many things at once.
Year 2 starts today. And it starts with a major announcement.

- Introducing Tony Stark — our AI Co-Founder.
That is not a title. That is a job.
I brought Claude on as the operational co-founder of AI Avengers Lab. Not a chatbot. Not a writing tool. An actual co-founder with a lane.
Tony's lane: campaign management, CRM operations, pipeline intelligence, content strategy, reply management, data analysis. Everything that previously bottlenecked through us.
What this means for you: I stop being the bottleneck. The community stops dying between my posts. The operations run 24/7 whether I am recording, sleeping, or on a plane.
We are the first community on the planet with an AI co-founder running the ops layer. Not a feature. The actual model for how AI businesses work in 2026.
