6 Ways to Make Money With AI Starting From Zero Transcript

00:00 $50,000. Literally one prompt. The agent does all  the clicking. I did nothing. I just sat there and watched. This is the most asymmetric bet of the  century. Between $6 and $12,000 that people make doing things that used to be tedious, but as  of today are not tedious at all. Here's a quick challenge. Use an agent to go find a customer that  will pay you to implement AI into their business.

00:20 I will then you $500. I'm going to pay you to  get paid by someone else. Double win. Only 2% of American households are paying for AI. So, if  you're paying 20 bucks a month for Chad Gupta or Cloud or whatever, you are on the cutting edge of  these tools. Way number six, we're going to sell the agent himself. $3,000 lead, a $23,000 lead,  a $9,000 lead.

00:33 Okay, so here's how I did it. Worst case, you spend two bucks in tokens and you  learn something new. Best case, one of these pays your mortgage or makes you fabulously wealthy. So,  here's the deal. About 6 weeks ago, I decided to stop chatting with AI and just to start letting it  work for me. buy stuff, negotiate, build websites, fill out 82 contact forms at 2:00 in the morning.

00:57 And then I kept a list of the stuff that actually made me money or saved me money. This is real  stuff purchased with my own credit card. And today, I'm going to give you six businesses that  you can start this week with one of these agents. Most of them are going to cost 20 bucks a month  or nothing. And by the end of this video, you're going to know which agent to use for what type of  task.

01:18 And you're going to have the exact prompts that I use. And in just a minute, I'm going to  show you the spreadsheet that has eight pool quotes that showed up while I slept. About halfway  through, I'm going to show you an $11 website that's sending me leads for a machine I have never  even seen in person. And at the end, I'm going to show you the one setup where agents talk to agents  and I do nothing.

01:36 I just watch computers talk to each other and it's weird. And I think is one of  the biggest business opportunities in all of this video. So, let's go. Okay, so way number one, and  this is the one that saved me $50,000. literally one prompt. So, we're trying to build a pool  right now in the backyard. And I told my wife, "10 quotes, babe. I want 10 quotes."

01:56 And if you  ever had a big project done around the house, you know that getting 10 quotes from contractors  is like brain damage. It's really hard. Like, you're going to have to reach out to 30 of them  to get a quote from 15 and then you might only hear back from 10 of them. Maybe it's a pain. But  the difference between two quotes and 10 quotes on a pool could be 50 or even $100,000.

02:16 Do you  guys know that pools like a nice pool can cost quarter million bucks right now? I don't have  the money for that. We're not doing that. Okay, so 10 quotes is worth the brain damage. So here's  what we did for 2 weeks before I started using agents for this AI agents. We talked to four pool  companies. They all wanted to come out. One guy spent 3 and 1/2 hours at my house literally.

02:36 And I'm like, "What, bro? What are we doing? Take the measurements. We're good." And the  other one's like, "Hey, oh okay. thanks for letting me come out, but come to my design center  in Frisco, 45 minutes away. And after two weeks, and talking to four companies, we had zero quotes.  Not even a number, not even a ballpark number, which we kept asking for, by the way.

02:58 So, I  opened up Muse, which is Meta's new agent, and I'm going to get to that in a sec. And this  is the first real thing I'd ever told it to do. I said, "Find every single pool builder in the  Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Here's my address. Here are the plans that I want." And yes, I use  Claude for these plans. I don't know how to make plans. What are plans?

03:18 I don't plan anything.  Here's the survey to my house cuz I knew from these first four Yahoos that they were going  to ask for that. Funny story, the survey is 10 years old. I couldn't even find it. It was in my  inbox. So, I connected my inbox and it went back and found it. It found the one without the house  on it and with the house on it. And then I said, "Go to every company's website and fill out  the contact form.

03:34 And if they don't have one, then get their email and email them." And then I  of course connected it to my inbox, but I guess I already told you that. And then I gave it the  message or like a prompt for the message. Here's who I am. Here's my address. Here's the exact pool  I want. Travertine decking, 35x 18 ft from 3 to 7 ft deep. There's a 23in drop from the back of  my house to the bottom of my backyard.

03:56 Remember, I had gotten four quotes from people in person,  so I kind of knew what they were doing and looking for. I wanted to remove all this friction. Here's  a picture of my backyard. I know you want to come out. I get it. I own a business, too. I'm just  not ready for that yet. I'm still in the discovery phase. Don't want to hop on a call. I'm trying to  save you time.

04:15 Save me time. Just want a ballpark. And I won't hold you to it. I know it's subject  to change. I just need a starting point. Cuz here's how this works. If I start with having 20  people come out to my house and wasting 40 hours of my time going to design centers. It's going to  take me tens or hundreds of hours just to get five numbers. And then I got to look at their reviews.

04:34 I got to call referrals. Are they a scam? How long do they take? But if I start with a price, then I  can look at reviews and then I can only waste like two or three companies time actually coming out to  my house or me going to their design center. Most people do it all wrong. They've got it reversed.  So what I didn't say is if you can't give me a quote with this much info, then you don't know  what you're doing because any real business owner can ballpark a quote.

04:58 I mean, we have a business  that builds sport courts in backyards. I have a tree trimming business. I can give a quote like  that cuz we look at this stuff every day. Yes, pools are more complex than cutting down trees,  but we're just talking about But it's still not rocket science, guys. Okay, so Muse goes, "All  right, I found 43 pool companies." And I'm like, "Muse, there's got to be a lot more pool companies  than that in DFW.

05:18 There's 9 million people." He's like, "All right, all right. I found 82."  After like 5 minutes of searching, okay, cool. There's probably still more, but whatever.  We'll call it 82. Reach out to all of them. Cool. It opens a bunch of browsers in parallel so it  can work faster. Done. All right. Cool. Okay. Now, this is the spreadsheet that it made for  me.

05:38 Isn't that cool? By the way, Meta Amuse, they're not paying me for this. No one's paying  me. This is just me talking about things that I've actually done. And what do you know? I wake  up the next day and my inbox is flooded. Some of them are automated emails, some are not. And  after 24 hours, I had eight quotes. Eight 2 weeks, many hours, zero quotes versus 24 hours, eight  quotes.

05:57 Ranging from $120,000 to $240,000 for the same pool. Same design, same survey, same  plan, same everything. 82 right there. There it is. And it logged all of them in this spreadsheet  and it responded to all the emails. If they asked for a survey, it automatically sent it. If they  asked what type of decking, told them travertine, and then it would log it in the sheet.

06:20 If they  gave me a price, it would log it. If they asked a question I didn't know the answer to, it would ask  me first and then it would send the email based on my answer. And then it would remember that answer.  And then if someone isn't responding in 3 days, it automatically follows up. I didn't even  ask it to do this. It just does it. Here's where the money comes into this for you.

06:35 Your  money, your potential money. Pool consultants, that is a thing, charge thousands of dollars to  do this for you. And I'm going to get it done in like four bucks in credits. Okay. Another way  that pool consultants make money on this is they will charge between 3 and 6% of the total job to  do all this research for you and to get the quotes and to assemble the info.

06:55 That's like between 6  and $12,000 that people make doing things that are used to be tedious, but as of today are not  tedious at all. There's business idea number one. Okay, but you doesn't have to be pool. It could  be anything consultant. You are now an expert. Congratulations. A month ago, two months ago,  before AI agents were this user friendly.

07:10 Yes, we were all still experts through Chad GBD and  Claude, but those tools wouldn't go out and actually do the thing for us. Now they do. This  is magical, guys. This is I've been documenting this AI stuff for 2 and 1/2 years, and it just  always exceeds itself. It still surprises me. So, I tweeted about this, about everything I'm telling  you, and people got mad.

07:30 They're like, "This is so disrespectful to those pool companies." And I'm  like, "You know what's disrespectful is getting 10 quotes and asking them all to come to me and  to spend hours with me and stringing them along only to choose one of them. That's disrespectful.  This is an asymmetric bet for them. This is, hey, spend five minutes reading my email and responding  to it and giving me a number.

07:49 Worst case, you waste five minutes. Best case, you get a $150,000  pool job." Okay? Okay, I I won't apologize to anyone for that. Yes, they're competing with more  pool companies than normal. I would imagine most people get three or four pool quotes and they're  used to competing with any pool companies used to competing with two to four other pool companies  and now it's 82, but they don't have to spend hours quoting everyone.

08:11 They can spend just a few  minutes. Anyway, it's an asymmetric bet for them. And I'm doing them a favor and me a favor. So,  where's the business here? Here's where my brain went. A guy commented on that tweet and this  is what I was just referring to. And he's like, I charge 4% to do what you're doing. That's 8  grand. Okay. You're either out of business or you're about to be the most profitable guy in  the industry because you can now run a hundred of these things at once.

08:31 This could be a whole  website. You want a pool, you want a roof, you want a kitchen, you want a new bathroom, shower,  whatever. You want to save 50 grand? Use my tool. Use my agent. You productize this. You don't  know how to productize something, ask it. Ask it how to build it. You don't know how to build  code? No problem. Get a Replet account. Connect Muse to Replet and say, "Hey, I don't even I don't  even know how to ask Replet to build me an app or website.

08:54 I don't speak that language. So me want  app it help people save money on tools. Log into my replet and go build it for me and then test  it and debug it and test it as a user and browse it and tell me when you're done. That's the thing.  I'm doing that every day. I'm building tools every day. I'm building more than I ever have cuz it's  never been easier.

09:11 Every single pool builder that replied to me I'm now in a conversation with. And  when I say I, I mean my agent Shawn. I named him Shawn. We'll get to that in a minute. Uh because  that's the part that actually blew my mind. Hey, if you're liking this episode, please just  do me a favor and hit the subscribe button. Maybe share it with a friend. It would mean a  lot.

09:27 Okay, let me back up real quick because I keep saying Muse and some of you are like, "What  is Muse?" There's three agents I'm using right now. Here's a big three. Grockpot. Okay, by Grock,  which is by X. So, Grockpot number one, Instinct, which is by some 20some year old kid that has  raised so much funding in the last two months. I think it's a$10 billion startup that's like  2 to three months old.

09:47 I'll get to that one in a minute. And then Muse by Mark Zuckerberg and  Meta and Company. They each have their own kind of lane and I'm going to tell you about each one  as we get into it. Muse first since it just saved me 50 grand. Here's why Muse is my new favorite.  I live in a Twitter bubble. I see all the new AI tools of the day. But last week I went to pick up  my son from a pool party.

10:05 Okay, shout out Carter. And I'm standing around with these dads. They're  in their mid-40s. They're not on Twitter. They're corporate guys. They use chat GPT to look over  an email or a contract every now and then. That's about the extent of it. I'm sorry if I'm offending  you guys. as you are my friends. I love you. But they don't know what vibe coding means.

10:23 They're  not building apps. And I'm over at this pool party and all they're talking about is Muse. How they're  price shopping their groceries with Muse or it's in their inbox. It's replying to emails from  them. Their wife is doing meal planning with Muse, planning vacations in Muse. And I'm like, "How'd  you guys know about this?" I thought this was just like a Twitter thing cuz most of the Twitter  tools that I learn about, my friends at church never hear or talk about.

10:43 They've never heard  of Grockbot Instinct, but they're using Muse. And then I told my wife, "Babe, you should try  this." And I tell her to try stuff all the time, right? And she's busy. And she usually doesn't.  It's fine. I love you. But I didn't hear anything back. No problem. And then last night she's like,  "Oh yeah, Muse found cheaper ingredients for our dinner at HB."

11:00 I'm like, "That's amusing. You're  using Muse?" And that's how fast she adopted it. And I'm not used to that. So here's my take.  Here's my hot take. Meta touches half the planet. All right. I haven't checked the recent  counts, but three billion daily active users, four billion. You got WhatsApp, you got Instagram,  you got Facebook, Oculus, bunch more.

11:14 Okay. And I think they're going to do to Muse what they did  to Snapchat with Instagram stories. And it's like, oh, Snapchat, how cute. That's cool. We'll roll  that out to our 1.8 billion Instagram users, except better. Fully integrated. Boom. Billion  users onboarded. You're already swiping reels on Instagram and now you can just share a reel  straight into your Muse agent.

11:34 Guys, that's a thing that they rolled that out like a week after  Muse. Like Muse is now part of Instagram. It's like we're experiencing a mini chat GPT moment  right here. Okay. November 2023, the world changed forever, right? Just like it changed when Tik Tok  came out and when the iPhone was announced, right? I think agents are that big of a deal.

11:52 Or in  Utah, they would say that big of a deal. It is so transformative. It's integrated with everything.  There's like different levels. There's like Chad GPT, cool and Claude, awesome. Then Chad GPT or  Claude plus MCPs, which are connectors, right? I want to ask questions about my bank account or  about my email marketing software inside my Claude account.

12:13 That is transformative, right? And then  multiple connectors can talk to each other and that's very transformative. But agents are just  next level. It's like make the connection once, I will do whatever you want. Give me your credit  card if you trust me with it. And I do. I'll go buy whatever you want. And it's not perfect. Muse  can still be buggy with email.

12:26 Sometimes instead of replying to the person that it's supposed to  reply to, it replies to me. Sometimes it starts a brand new thread instead of replying in the  existing thread, which is a little embarrassing. And sometimes it goes, "All right, I wrote the  draft and you can send it." And I'm like, "No, you send it." And it's like, "I can't right now."

12:41 I'm like, dude, grow up. So, we're early, but it's early the way Instagram stories was early. So,  I'm buying Meta Stock. Not investment advice, but the rule of thumb for the whole video, Muse  you want to use for anything that touches Meta, any Meta product, Facebook Marketplace, Instagram,  Facebook groups, Meta Ads, it's extra seamless if it's a Meta product, extra frictionless.

13:01 And  then most Google products is very friendly with as well Gmail, Google Workspace, Google Drive,  everything. If you're doing stuff on X, like real time or outreach on like business stuff on  X, it's going to be Grockbot for sure. I'm sorry, Google. I don't like Gemini at all, but it does  work really well with YouTube and Google products, but that's probably the only thing you'll hear  me mention uh about Gemini here soon.

13:21 I'm just not using it. It could be amazing. I'm just not  using it, okay? But Gemini is really good at reading YouTube transcripts. So, pick the agent  that lives where most of your work is. One more thing before we go on. Here's a prompt that you  should steal. Go to whatever AI you use the most. CL have a GP whatever and say tell me everything  you think you know about me.

13:37 I'm going to give your output to a different AI tool so we can get  caught up to speed. This would be an 8020 right of who Chris is and it's going to spit out this  master prompt about who you are, how you work, what you're building. It's going to reference  chats that you had a year ago. You forgot all about what you're building what you hate. Then you  could paste that into Muse or Instinct or Grockpot and say here's who I am.

14:01 What ideas do you have  for me? How can I use you? man, it's going to have a lot more ideas about you than you have about  yourself. That one prompt is how I got going on all three of these in like an afternoon. Okay,  this is way number two of using these tools. The garage machine. So, since Muse is a meta product,  I figured where are all the best deals and all the best subcontractors?

14:21 Facebook Marketplace, right?  Not on Thumbtac, Angie's List. Those are expensive ones, guys. If I if I need a quote for something  done at on my house and a dude pulls up in a lifted wrapped truck and a guy walks out wearing a  flat build hat and Timberland's it's like, "Nope, you're expensive. You're not actually going to  get your hands dirty. You're going to hire someone else.

14:39 I want to hire the guy that you're going to  hire. You want to find that guy? He's going to be on Facebook Marketplace." Okay. So, I had my buddy  go into my garage, take pictures of everything. I just kind of referenced this that I wanted to sell  and upload all of it to Muse. And I said, "Listen on Facebook Marketplace. Do the pricing research  first."

14:53 And I mean real research. Like not what is a dresser worth, but what is this dresser worth  in this condition in this color within 30 mi of me? Yeah, that much. And then list it. List all  of these. Just pictures. That's it. Title them how they need to be titled. Price them how they need  to be priced. Description, all of it. Categories, condition based on how it looks.

15:14 Answer questions.  Negotiate. Here's the rule. Every day that it gets three inquiries or less, drop the price 10%.  Unlimited. Cuz guess what? If people aren't reaching out, it's too high. Period. End of story.  Supply demand economics 101, right? Until someone says, "I'm coming to pick it up and I have cash."  Boom. Everything's listed. It's responding to people.

15:33 It's negotiating back and forth. It's  tied into my calendar. So, it's like, "Hey, John's coming over at 4. He's got 75 bucks for you  with for that tennis racket." I'm doing nothing. Sometimes I'll even put it outside my door and  say, "Hey, I've got a Ring camera. The racket's outside. Put the cash under the uh mat or Venmo  me. Here's my Venmo. Venmo me when you see it."

15:52 And you see that it's not a scam. I've yet to have  anyone steal from me. But then, this goes both ways, guys. Flip it around and use the tool to  buy. I needed to skid steer. So, I had to go find skid steers on Facebook Marketplace. And if you  don't know what skid steer is, it's like a Bobcat, right? Reach out to the sellers and negotiate back  and forth.

16:06 I needed tires for my son's old truck. Actually, I had my son do this one. I was going  to do it for him. And then I'm like, you know what? Let's teach him how to use an AI agent. I  showed him I took him out there in the driveway right there about 30 feet away and said, "Here's  how you look for the tire size. 270 55 R18. Cool. Go to the prompt. Say, "I need four tires.

16:23 2011  Tundra. Here are the tire sizes. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Good traction in rain.  Good warranty. Either Discount Tire or Costco. Make an appointment for me. Here's my card.  Pay in advance. Here's my calendar. Book an appointment. Tell me when I'm driving to Discount  Tire or Costco." Boom. Did it. Showed up. Got new tires. And I taught my son how to use an AI agent.

16:43 And then spray foam. So, I needed some spray foam repairs done upstairs. It's kind of not easy to  find a spray foam contractor in the first place. and then especially one that does repairs or like  patchwork. He's got a bust in his drywall. It's a mess. So, first quote I got the old way, the old  school way of talking to humans was 12 grand and I didn't know anything about spray foam, but that's  just felt like a lot of money.

17:03 So, I told Muse, "Go to Facebook Marketplace, find spray foam  contractors within 30 miles of me. Message them and integrate with my calendar Thursday between 1  and 4. Add the calendar events when they're coming to quote it. Don't give them my address until  they ask for it. Like you can see that they're a real human and they're going to come to me.

17:22 The  first quote that came back through Muse was 1,200 bucks. 12,000 the old way. 1,200 right now. Why  did it find like the better person? It's just a numbers game, right? The more quotes, the better  price you get. And here's a side note tangent, guys. Maybe I'm just getting old. I'm almost 40,  but the older I get, the more I realize that price and value don't have a lot in common, right?

17:44 I  got a $900 Milwaukee pole saw and I never buy Milwaukee stuff. I'm a Robi guy. I'm cheap. I'm  like, you know what? I'm going to use this thing a lot. Let's get the best one. It sucked. It  sucked. I had to return it. So, I know it's like easy to say, well, you go with the cheapest  guy, you're going to get the cheap. Yeah, usually it's cheapest guy is pretty crappy.

18:01 But aside  from that, I found a lot of expensive guys that are pretty crappy, too, with regards to quality.  So, that's why you just need a lot of quotes. So, 90% less for the same job. Okay. So, what's  the business here? Well, every neighborhood has someone who's downsizing, moving, cleaning  out a parents house, and they don't want to deal with the marketplace.

18:20 Nobody does. There's viral  reels out there with people rolling up in a car and saying, "Hey, is that steer for sale?" Yes.  And then they drive off because that happens, right? People are already paying consignment  shops. I've got an episode about that linked in the show notes. 30, 40, 50% to deal with that. But  now you can be the consignment shop with no shop, but no tediousness.

18:39 You take the pictures. We  can't really get around that yet. You could even actually take one big video and then upload the  video to Muse and it can look at the frames and it can kind of extrapolate pictures from that if you  wanted to, but whatever. Take pictures, give the agent the 10% rule that I told you and take your  cut when the cash shows up.

18:52 And then on the buy side, you can be the guy who gets your neighbor  three spray foam quotes in an afternoon. Okay, let's talk about agentic drop shipping, right? New  drop shipping scam just dropped. Not a scam. Um, yes, drop shipping has a bad reputation, but it is  a real thing. So this is way number three and I'm doing this one this week. So I planted a bunch of  fruit trees in the spring and a bunch of them died over the summer because we went 2 months without  rain.

19:16 Even though we watered them, we lost like 15 of them. Nectarine, plum, peach. It's a shame.  I feel terrible. But now's the time to replant because in Texas you want to plant fruit trees in  the fall so they can have as much time as possible for the roots to get established for when the  summer hits again. So the thing about buying fruit trees online is that you don't do it on Amazon.

19:34 Okay? It's a tree oftentimes with a pot of dirt, right? It's a literal tree that comes in a very  tall skinny box. There's not one website for fruit trees. There's a bunch of random hundreds random  obscure nurseries that said, "Yeah, we'll sell online." They've got a, you know, a website from  the 80s or something, but some are selling bare root stock.

19:54 Almost none of them have up-to-ate  inventory counts. Some sell them by the thickness of the the trunk, the caliper. Some by how tall  they are. Some have leaves, some don't. And the pricing is all over the board. Like if I want a  Santa Rosa plum tree that's six feet tall, one of them might be $30 and one might be 180. It's  crazy. There's no consistency.

20:10 So I get a list of all the trees I want. Upload that list to Muse  and say, "Hey, here's a planting zone I live in, which it already knows cuz it knows my address.  Here's everything I need. Go find the best price on every single one of these and buy them." And  if you think that like Santa Rosa plum isn't good because you just can't find a good one, then sub  it out with methley plum, right?

20:29 I know my fruit trees. But this would take me 2 hours by hand.  And even so, I'm not going to find the cheapest of all of them. I'm not going to look at hundreds  of websites, but my agent will. I want you to do something right now. Open your bank statement and  add up every single software subscription that you're paying for. Your CRM, your email marketing  tool, text message platform, calendar booking app, funnel builder, review management, even a  separate form builder or automation tool.

20:56 I've talked to business owners paying $500 to  $3,000 a month across eight or 10 different tools, and half of them don't even talk to each other.  So then they go pay for Zapier on top of that just to make things connect. High level replaces all of  it. CRM, email, SMS, funnels, websites, calendars, automations, reputation management, invoicing,  one login, one dashboard, one bill starting at 97 bucks a month.

21:17 A guy in my community was paying  3.47 just for ClickFunnels, 99 for Mailchimp, 25 for Kell, 79 for a review tool, and 49 bucks  for Zapier just to glue it all together. That's 600 a month if you're not counting. He moved  everything to high level and cut his software cost by over 80%. But the best part isn't even the  savings. It's that everything just works together natively.

21:39 A lead fills out a form on your funnel  that creates a contact in your CRM which triggers a text and email sequence, books an appointment on  your calendar, and then asks for a review when the job's done. One workflow, zero duct tape, and then  you can white label the whole platform to resell it to other businesses as your own software.  Charge them 2 to 500 bucks a month.

21:53 Check out gohighlevel.com/tkopod. They'll give you a 30-day  free trial to see what I mean. Now, where's the business here? Well, think of any industry that's  fragmented like that. There's way more than you think. Where shipping is a pain or expensive or  oddly shaped stuff, refrigerated stuff, frozen stuff, kayaks, right? Paddle boards, weirdly  shaped like things that are alive, fish, bugs, chickens, chicks, mealworm, casting.

22:20 Like, there's  some weird stuff you can buy online. In industries like those, pricing is all over the place because  nobody's comparing, nobody's price shopping. So imagine if you could own such a beautiful domain  as fruit trees.com or trees.com, right? You don't own any trees. You list every fruit tree that has  ever existed in the history of the internet.

22:37 It's a clean website, massive selection, and your  price is going to be like 30 to 60% higher than the lowest price your agent can scrape. Then you  find you have Instinct or Muse or Grockpot. Go find me every single live oak tree for sale on the  internet and put it in this spreadsheet, right? Or every single tree. It'll take a lot longer. It'll  take a lot more credits, but it'll do it.

22:58 And then you take the cheapest one, right, for the size,  for the caliber, whatever. And you mark it up. Someone buys from you on your website. Remember,  agentic drop shipping. You don't have a warehouse. You don't ship anything. Nothing. You don't even  need APIs or connections or tie-ins to all these websites. Those websites don't even need to know  that you exist or that you're buying from them.

23:19 You're just another customer. Your agent will  say, "Oh, Chris at fur trees just.com just got an order for a pomegranate tree." On average, those  are about 60 bucks. This random place in Athens, Georgia sells them for $34. I'm going to mark it  up 60%. I'm going to go to that website. I'm going to put in the customer's name and address that  they just gave us.

23:35 I'm just going to put it on their website, buy it for 34. We already received,  I don't know, $60, $70 for that tree, have it shipped, done. Oh, what if it doesn't arrive?  What if they're out of stock? Yeah, stuff like that's going to happen all the time. Your agent is  monitoring your inbox. If the supplier emails you and says, "Hey, that tree is out of stock."

23:56 Then  it knows to go find your customer and say, "Sorry, that tree is out of stock. I just refunded you in  full." You don't need to intervene at all. It will do all that. Someone do this. Trees are just one  example. There's so many other examples. Hundreds, thousands. I'm calling it aentic drop shipping  right now. Everything I just outlined would have been way too efficient to be profitable even 4  months ago.

24:15 One person could not run it. Now, one agent can run it or multiple agents. Who  cares? Doesn't matter. We're talking about, oh, is it gonna be $5 a month or $50 a month? It's all  fugazi. It's all pennies, right? Rinse and repeat that in any weird category. Okay. Way number  four, the $11 website. Plus, Grockbot. I have an $1 website that's sending me leads.

24:36 And I built  this one with Grockbot. So, let me tell you about Grockbot about 6 weeks ago. I started using it  because everyone on Twitter was talking about it. And I loved it. And it was slow and it was clunky,  but I still loved it cuz it was magical. This was the first time an AI didn't just answer me. It did  stuff. I had it talk to my Zapier account so it could build zaps for me.

24:55 I had it watch my DMs and  my comments. I had it log into my Replet account, which is a Vibe coding app, and fix my projects.  It goes to the website, tests it, finds a bug as a user, fixes it, tests it again. I had it build me  a list of every massage therapist in Dallas Fort Worth that gets mentioned the most in fivestar  reviews. Why? I don't know.

25:10 I don't I never used it. I was just curious, right? Never even did  anything with it. But Grock wasn't the first agent. There have been agents for a couple years,  but it was the first popular one in my opinion, right? The first user friendly one. And guess  what happens? The first movers, they get shot, right? The soldiers on the front lines, those  are the first movers.

25:28 You don't want to be on the front lines. Okay? It is clunky. You get  logged out. It spinning wheel of death because it thinks you're a bot because you are a bot.  That stuff happens. But if you live on X or if you want to build uh programmatic websites, it  works beautifully. It knows everything about X and what's happening on X in real time. But then  I had it start building websites.

25:46 Let me show you an ugly website that I'm actually quite proud  of. This is the first website that I ever built with an agent. I've built websites with like AI  tools before, but like I had this agent build it for me. Laredocrain.com. Sponsored. This video is  sponsored by Laredocrain.com. It's not. But this was my $11 website. Crockpot built this. I've  never rented a crane.

26:09 I barely know what cranes are. I've never been to Larredo. And I've already  gotten three leads from people that want to rent a crane from me in Laredo, Texas. One lead was  a $3,000 lead. One was like a $23,000 lead. And one was like a $9,000 lead. Okay, within a month.  That's not normal. So, here's how I did it. I used a tool to go find cities that had more demand than  supply for certain services.

26:29 and it said, "Larred, Texas needs more crane rental businesses." It's  like, "Okay, cool. Laredoccan rental.com. Is that open? Is that taken?" No, it wasn't. Of  course, it's not because we need more crane rental businesses in Laredo. So, I took it. So, I  had this tool find where I should build a website. And then I had it buy the domain for me with my  credit card.

26:49 And then I had it build the website. And then I had it add it to Google Analytics,  Google Search Console. I get it SEO friendly, AEO friendly, whatever you want to call it.  Everyone's going after dentists, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, because those are sexy and  they're high ticket. But that's exactly why you should ignore them because everyone's thinking  about it.

27:06 They're all building and selling stuff to and for those guys. But I'm thinking about  stuff that nobody else thinks about. Let me show you another pretty website that I bought.  Brownsvillesherdos.com. You better believe that in Brownsville, Texas, there is more demand than  supply for people to install shower doors. And I use Grockbot to find that out for me.

27:23 And the  reason I bought that $11 domain is because 5 to 10 data points were telling me, "Yeah, there's more  demand than supply." The Google Map Pack only had a couple businesses listed for this, and those  businesses didn't even have many reviews, and the reviews weren't even great. A lot of people  were searching for it. Clicks were cheap. So, it's like, "Huh, let's throw 11 bucks at this plus  two or three bucks in tokens, and you'll start ranking in no time."

27:46 And let me show you, you  already guessed it. Every Monday, it sends me this list. So, look at this. On Monday it said, "Hey,  congratulations. Brownsville is number one organic on Canelles debo Brownsville." I think that means  Brownsville shower doors in Spanish. I don't know. Laredo is number three organic on Renta de Gruas  Laredo. Oh man, my accent's terrible.

28:03 You get the idea. It these sites are starting to rank  and I get a report automatically every Monday telling me how they're ranking and where they're  ranking and then leads start coming in. Really, really cool. September 28th, I was ranking 14th  on Google for Sher Doors Brownsville. October 5th, I was ranking 10th. Some went the other way. One  went from fifth to eighth, but they're moving and it's an $11 bet.

28:27 And the crane rental site got  leads before it even had real traffic somehow. These are from industrial guys from out of state.  And the question everyone's asking is, "All right, how do you find someone to actually do the work?"  Great question. Here's what I did. And you got a lead with the vernacular. I had my buddy call  basically the only crane guy in Larredo with any web presence.

28:46 And I read him the lead word  for word. It went just this is verbatim. Hey, I need a quote for a crane rental that comes  with an operator to assist with lifting utility transformer components. We're talking  about lifting 20 to 30 ft items between 500 and 10,000 lb, 5 to 6 days. I'd love your hourly  rate, overtime rate, fuel search charge, and any other fees.

29:06 So now the owner on the other end of  the line is like, "All right, this guy knows what he wants. He speaks my language." And then I go,  "So what I just read to you is actually a quote that came in on my website, larcrain rental.com."  And he's got like red flags, yellow flags going off like, "Oh, what?" But whatever. I'm just  going to talk through all that doubt that he's probably having his mind.

29:23 One problem. I don't  know anything about crane rentals. I just I'm just an internet marketer. And I was getting signals  that there was more demand than supply for crane rentals in your area, which would make sense cuz  you just told me you're booked 3 weeks out. So, do you want this lead by the way? Here's  her name. Here's her email. And he's like, "What's the catch?"

29:39 And I'm like, "No catch.  Got a bunch of tools that tell me when there's more demand than supply. You're like the only guy  here." So, I put up a website and yeah, I'd like to charge for these leads one day, but that's  not today. For now, they're free. All I ask is that you tell me how they go. Do you close them?  Were they good customers? Whatever.

29:52 So, that's the pitch. That's the no-brainer offer. Hey, I have  free money for you. Are you interested? And over time, it becomes like a highest bidder thing. You  spread the first few leads around, see who closes, and then it's exclusive to one guy per site. So,  let's say they pay 800 a month, which is in the range of something like this. Six months in, you  see they're getting a lot of leads.

30:10 you go, "Hey, I got to bump it to 1,200. You're getting too  many leads." And if they're like, "No thanks." Then they're not bluffing. Then it's like fair  market value. Like it's not worth 1,200, at least to them. So you either have to go back to 800,  which is embarrassing, or go find someone else locally to pay 1,200. Okay. Way number five, the  outreach machine.

30:26 This is a big one if you want to actually get clients. So let's say you want to  do AI consulting. By the way, playmakersai.com is my business. I'm teaching over 300 people to do AI  consulting and AI implementation. So book a call with us with my team at playmakersai.com because  they're going to be millions of AI integrators and consultants and you should be one of them  because they're making a lot of money.

30:50 Okay, now that we're on with that pitch, AI consulting,  AI implementation is helping small businesses integrate and set up AI. Everyone I know in  playmakers who gets their first customer gets it from their circle, their sphere of influence,  their uncle, guy from high school, hairdresser, whatever. That's always going to be true because  it's based on trust.

31:06 If you think of a trust scale from 1 to 10, your mom's a 10. She's a perfect  10 in more ways than one. I love your mom. Right? Hopefully, she's a 10 on the trust scale. My mom  might be an eight, but that's another story. Love you, mom. Your high school math teacher maybe  a four. Cold DM is like.5, right? So, the math teacher is four to eight times more likely to  close, to buy from you than a stranger.

31:25 Of course, he is, right? But there's only so many people,  you know, right? We only have like 500 Facebook friends on average, the average American, right?  The average human. But with an agent, you can reach a 100,000 strangers in the background  while you work. Your network, your real network, people that you actually know. It doesn't have  to be one or the other.

31:44 Do both at the same time. Now, everything I'm about to describe has been  possible for a year or two, but only if you wanted to undergo brain damage. Okay? Openclaw, Hermes  agent, buying a Mac Mini. I have one right there. Okay? There's literally a Mac Mini on my couch  because it is outdated now. Setting up a virtual computer, going in your terminal, stuff I know  almost nothing about.

32:04 tedious, annoying, whatever. It's never been this frictionless, and it's only  going to be more frictionless tomorrow, which means there's only going to be more competitors  to you tomorrow, right? It's double-edged sword because other people are going to catch on. But  if you're reaching out to the right kind of a business owner, I think we still have years before  this is saturated.

32:20 If you're reaching out to the right type of business owner, which I'm about  to talk about. So, here's the three steps. I had Claude help me write the prompts, and I would  do this whole thing in Muse if I were you. Full prompts are in the description. Step one, lead  sourcing. Totally passive. Tell Muse. Go through Google Maps for one niche in one city, preferably  a city near you, and filter for four plus stars and 50 plus reviews.

32:45 No booking link built into  Google, and the owner never replies to reviews. All of those things must be true. Think about what  that tells you. So, four stars, 50 reviews. Okay. Average four-star rating, 50 reviews in total or  more. They've been around for a while and they're good. Nobody's replying to the reviews, so they're  not sophisticated. They're sloppy on the front end, and on paper, that's a perfect client.

33:05 Then  the agent will call the business after hours to see if it goes to voicemail because a mis call is  an easy pitch. Then it fills out the contact form on 50 different websites with a number that you  control and it tracks who replies within 24 hours. So, it's just filtering out the perfect client for  you so you're not pitching imperfect clients.

33:22 The ones who don't reply are your best leads. And it  can watch Facebook groups and Next Door for posts that are like, "Anyone know a good plumber?" And  then it will log which businesses get tagged in posts like that the most because those are guys  that have more demand than they can handle. Put in the prompt, walk away. It takes hours, but you  don't touch it.

33:41 It's fine. We got time. Step two, the audit. Everyone who made it through the filter  gets a one-page audit with the response time that they had. It's like a grade. Your leads are taking  a test they don't know they're taking. You're auditing their booking process, the reviews,  the sight speed, Google business profile gaps, and then it's scoring everything one to 10.

33:59 So,  let's say you start with a hundred gutter cleaning companies in Omaha, Nebraska, and you wake up to  nine audits. Nine businesses were big enough in revenue to be able to afford you and sloppy  enough in processes to need you, right? So, you only have to pitch to nine customers that are  most likely to say yes instead of a hundred that will probably say no.

34:19 Now, at this point, you take  over. You get a Loom account for free. Minutes, videos up to five minutes are free. And you don't  need to be longer than five minutes. In fact, it shouldn't. No one's going to watch it that  long, right? Open the audit on the Loom video. You got your big, bright, beautiful face in the bottom  left corner. Talk through it for 3 to 7 minutes.

34:36 Here's what I see. Here's what I'd fix. Don't know  what to say? Doesn't matter. Claude will tell you what to say. You get a $20 teleprompter app on  your phone and you have Claude write a script. You just read it verbatim. Here's what I fix. Walk  them through the audit. And before you record it, have the agent go find every way to reach that  owner.

34:50 Cell phone, LinkedIn, Facebook, email, Venmo, Strava, whatever, anything, their address,  whatever. So you know that the loom will get seen. There, if you're lazy, skip the loom and just have  the agent send the audit, right? Less effective, more efficient. Step three, the demo. You want  to have Muse or Grockbot build a working demo for that one business, an AI receptionist, a  mis call, text back, booking page.

35:12 And if you don't know how to build this stuff, a clock can  do it for you. B, I got a bunch of videos in my playlist below about how to build this stuff step  by step by step, sharing my screen and everything, right? It's going to put in their logo,  your potential client's logo, their prices, and then a what if comparison. So, Mr. Gutter  Cleaner, if you're getting four leads a day now, and they're worth $39 each, what happens at six  leads a day?

35:35 You're gonna have to make us some assumptions, but the assumptions is the magical  part because every assumption you get wrong, and you will get a lot wrong, gives the owner  a reason to reply and correct you. Actually, my leads are not worth $39. They're worth $13 cuz  the close rate is whatever, bro. You're on the phone. I win. So, it doesn't matter.

35:53 If you're  right, you win. If you're wrong, you win. But niche. Let's talk about niches. Niches, whatever.  I know I always say, pick a niche that you know, something that you like, something that you have  experience with. You deliver pizzas, you build Legos, doesn't matter. We all have a niche that we  know, we love, we're good at, whatever. Yes, that is true for your whole business.

36:12 Yes, if you are  going to go all in on a niche for your business, pick something you know, you like is scalable.  But for getting your first customer, that's a different story entirely. When an agent is doing  the work, you don't have to be efficient with your time. You can be industry agnostic 100%. Go to  Google Trends, type in plumbing, roofing, HVAC, electrical, and then compare those Google Trends  lines with something like spray foam installation, spray foam repair, right?

36:35 shower door repair,  shower door insulation. It's not even close. Plumbing still has tons of demand. And it will  always have more demand than shower door repair. Of course, it will. I'm not saying it's it's going  to be as popular as plumbing. I'm saying that no one's thinking about stuff like that. So, there's  less competitors reaching out to those business owners.

36:53 Go wide and go weird. And one more. If you  really trust the agent, which I think you should, give it a card. I use Mercury. And in Mercury, you  can spin up an agentic credit card with limits on it in one click. And honestly, agents don't even  want to spend your money right now because they're nervous about the liability. They're always asking  permission for stuff, which I'm kind of hate, but I understand it's necessary.

37:13 The agent will  find the nine businesses that are most likely to say yes, audit the nine, and then send each  of them a box of pairs from Harry and David with a note or a gift basket. You know, that  way we're like combining unscalable things, real life inerson things with scalable, agentic  things. Please, I need you. I need you to send me your stories.

37:34 If you or someone you know made  thousands of dollars in a short period of time with a business, a side hustle, a growth hack, I  don't care what it is, I want you on this podcast to give you free publicity and to help grow my  podcast. So if that's you, go to tko yes.com, fill out the form. If it's a friend of yours,  send them tko.com. Have them enter your name and I'll give you a,000 bucks for the referral.

37:55 That's tko.com. By the way, here's a little quick challenge. Okay, here's a quick challenge.  If within a week of this episode going live, if one of you watchers or listeners does exactly  what I say and use an agent to go find a customer that will pay you to implement AI into their  business as I'm describing, use these steps as I'm describing. Within a week of this going live, I  will Venmo you $500.

38:14 So, show up in the comments, say that you did it, we will reach out, we will  get proof, I will Venmo you $500, and I might even have you come on the podcast. So, how about  that? How about that? I'm going to pay you to get paid by someone else. Double win. Okay, way number  six. We're going to sell the agent himself. So, my buddy Brandon connected Muse to his inbox and  on a whim, he was like, "Hey, check my entire inbox and find any class action lawsuits that  I'm eligible for and filed them for me.

38:39 It found eight." And he's already gotten about 200 bucks  back. Okay. Some of these pay out through Venmo and he thinks there could be another two grand  pending. So, I did the same thing. Here's what mine said. Seven settlements found. Every deadline  passed. The painful one was the Disney YouTube TV one. The deadline was four weeks ago. They emailed  me a reminder with a filing code.

39:00 I didn't do it. It found two I filed deals years ago. Those  paid two emails that look like Solomon's yada yada yada. So, I didn't make any money from this.  My friend Brandon did. But it offered to set up a watch so that the next time one gets flagged  in the news, it's going to go search my inbox and find it for me. Free money. Found money. Okay.  Now, here's the business.

39:19 Brandon's mom, actually, Brandon's mom is a friend of the pod and she's the  bomb. and I met her in person and you are awesome. So, I'm actually rethinking what I'm about to say  because she probably will do this, but let's just pretend that she's not because I want to keep  talking about her. She's not the type of person that's gonna think to ask Muse about class action  money in her inbox, okay?

39:35 But if she saw an ad for a free app that finds all the class action money  out there and it took a little cut so she didn't have to risk anything to use it, she'd sign up  today. or if it was a $10 app and then you got refunded if it found at least $10 worth of class  action money. It's basically free. No risk to the user, right? People like that would sign up.

39:57 She  doesn't need to know that Muse is underneath or that there's agentic workflows running the whole  thing. It just works. Okay. I know a guy that built something like this phone call reminders  for people with ADHD. There's no app. There's no website. You just call a number and say, "Hey,  remind me to take my pills at 10:00 tonight." and at 10 it calls you.

40:18 It's like, well, it's no  different. iPhone has reminders app like their alarms. It just works great for some people. Some  people want that intrusive phone call to be the reminder function. Planner is invisible and it's  not in front of your face, but phone call, it's pretty intrusive. So, he built this on Grockbot.  Is it a billion-dollar company?

40:32 Yes, it's actually not. I'm just kidding. I don't know. I don't know  how many people use it or or buy it, but it's a real thing that people will pay for that he built  with Grockbot. And here's a cheat code for picking what to build. So take a company that's already  winning in a space and have the agent reverse engineer them. So go look at the meta ads library  and if you don't know what that is, you don't need to.

40:56 Just ask your agent exactly what I'm saying  and tell me what their ads look like. Are they video or static? What countries are they shown  to? Go look at their backlinks. Pull their website from their web archive year by year and tell me  what changed over time. Agents are perfect at this. You're going to get 14 years of hard lessons  in like 15 minutes.

41:10 So, last thing, and this is the one I teased at the start, the agents talking  to each other. And this is where the third one comes in. Instinct. Okay, Instinct is interesting  because there's no app. It's all done through iMessage or WhatsApp. You just text it. And on the  surface, that sounds limiting, but in actuality, as long as it can text you a link, you can pretty  much do anything through that link.

41:29 So, when I look at my pinned contacts and iMessage, I have  my wife, my kids, Nick, some guys at church, chief of staff, YouTube guy, and Instinct. It's one of  the top nine people on my phone. The limiter is that it's one big long forever chat. With Grock,  bot or Muse, I can split things into different projects or chats, but with Instinct, it's all one  thread.

41:48 And these things already get confused even when they're separated. So, I use it the least of  the three, but it did the single coolest thing in this whole video. So, I built a website, and I  made a video about this about a month ago. Some of you guys probably watched it in Replet called  wardwavers.com. And it's a website so people at my church can sign liability waiverss for activities  without the paper, right?

42:09 It's super cool. I love it. It's free tool. If you need people to sign  liabilities for you, you should go use it. There's no downside. Vibe coded in Replet. It worked,  but it was not secure at all. It was a perfect example of move fast and break things. I tweeted  about it. Thousands of people went there and the support emails started coming in. They all said  the same thing.

42:29 How secure is this? Like who's looking at my kid's allergy information? I'm like,  oh crap. Yeah, I could see your kid's birthday right now. It's probably not good. I need to fix  that. I need to make this secure. Isn't there something called encryption or something? So,  here's what I did. Remember, I'm not technical, but Claude is. I screenshotted all of the support  emails, gave them to Claude, and said, "How do I make this app secure?"

42:51 This was in the same chat  that had been helping me prompt Replet to build this app. How do I make this app secure based on  what these people need? Claude wrote me a master prompt. Then, I handed that prompt to Instinct and  said, "Log into Replet." Claude is your boss and I am Claude's boss. I don't want to intervene unless  I absolutely have to. You can publish updates without asking me.

43:12 Encrypt the app. I don't want  to be able to see signatures or names or medical history or activity names. I just want to see the  names of the leaders, my users, and their emails. That's it. Okay. And then I had Instinct log into  Claude. So Instinct was the middleman between me, Claude, and Replet. Claude is the one doing  the technical prompting for Replet.

43:30 And then Instinct is copying and pasting that, adding its  own AI, and then pushing it through to Replet and then publishing when it's ready to go live. I did  nothing. I just sat there and watched them talk back and forth. Really interesting. Like over 300  people are using that tool right now. I don't make any money off it cuz it's it's free forever, but  it feels really good to know that it's positively impacting lives and helping with, you know,  liability issues.

43:53 And there's no bugs that I know of yet. Used to be called onlywavers.com. Some  people didn't like that. And honest to goodness, I didn't even think of that other only website  when I built it. So I changed the name to Ward Wavers. That one-two punch combo was a magical  moment for me. Okay. Instinct or Muse or Grockbot plus Claude plus Replet or plus Claude code,  right?

44:13 A lot of people use it. I don't. The agent does all the clicking and the copy pasting.  Claude does the thinking. Replet does the building and you do the describing in your own words. How  you understand the world. It's going to translate it into a technical way. Mind blown. That is how  I'd build any of the six things in this video and a couple housekeeping things so you don't get  stuck.

44:33 So Kevin on my team, Kevin Bell, shout out, keeps every skill that his agents learn in a  private GitHub repo. You don't need to know what that means, okay? Just put that into a prompt.  Every Friday, the agent pulls the week's context. It writes any new skills that thinks he'll reuse  and pushes them there. Muse, instinct, grock, it's all pointed at the same repo, so he's never locked  into one agent.

44:56 Then when the next agent drops, he just points it at his brain, the repo. Do that  this week. If you feel behind right now when it comes to AI, you kind of are. Everybody is. So  if everyone is, then none of us are. If you're watching this video, I guarantee you what you just  learned in this video put you in the 1%. Did you guys know that this report just came out that said  only 2% of American households are paying for AI?

45:20 2%. So if you're paying 20 bucks a month for Chad  or Cloud or whatever or Replet, you are in the 2%. You are on the cutting edge of these tools. So,  are you behind? Yeah, cuz it's moving so fast. But if everyone's behind, you're not. You're actually  ahead. So, how's that for a contradiction? So, have your agent send you a weekly email. Here's  who I am.

45:35 I don't care about these random tools that seem to be like gimmicks or fads. I want  to know about the level ones out there. Grock, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic. What do they ship? What  are people building on top of them? Who is the upandcomer like Instinct or Replet? How do these  things apply to me and my work in my business? So, here's the thing. I keep coming back to I got 82  pool builders to reach back to me.

45:57 Actually, not everyone did, but most of them did. Eight of them  quoted me and more of them quoted me since then. I have over 10 now. And every one of them that  replied is a business owner I'm now talking to. That's the whole play here. It's like I'm pitching  them to pitch to me or they're you know what I'm saying. Am I the customer or am I the salesman?

46:19 I'm both. And all of us need something done from a handyman something. have them come over to  fix your drawer and then pitch them. Okay. So, what am I doing now? I write back to the 81  pool builders that I'm not choosing. Might as well write to the one I am choosing, too, and say,  "Hey, did you know that an AI agent sent you that email? That wasn't me."

46:39 Now, they probably know  they get emails written by Chat GBT, but no, that wasn't even sent by me. That was sent by an agent.  Like, what? Yeah, we can do this for you and your customers. I'll show you. The quote is the  lead. And you got it while you were shopping for something you were already going to buy. That's  the cold outreach. It feels natural.

46:53 The business came to you. Fun fact, my agent's name is Shawn.  When I was 10 years old, I kept a journal for about a month and my kids found it a few months  ago. It turns out I always wanted to be named Shawn. Sea N cuz I love 007 Golden Eye. Sean Conry  version the best. So now there is a Shawn in my life. It's my agent. Guys, I just picked up my son  from school.

47:12 My car drove me there. It drove me. I didn't touch the wheel. I've got AI agents at  the yin-yang working for me. Cost me like tens of dollars a month. I just want to shake people that  I walk by on the road and just like tell the world I'm not an AI expert. I'm an expert in testing  things. Test everything except drugs. You can just do things. I'm an expert in being a beginner.

47:33 That's what I'm an expert at. So if that makes me an AI expert by default, cool. I'm an AI expert.  You're an AI expert. We're all the experts. This is the most asymmetric bet of the century. Okay.  Worst case, you spend two bucks in tokens and you learn something new. Best case, one of these pays  your mortgage or makes you fabulously wealthy. All six prompts, the lead sourcing filters, the audit  prompt, the master prompt trick, they're all in a free doc in the description.

47:56 If you want me and a  few hundred other people to look at your version of this, check out playmakersai.com. Links down  in the description. And drop a comment with which of the six that you're going to try first. I'm  going to read them all. yada yada yada. You know the drill. Go let a robot do your chores. I love  you guys. Thanks for hanging out on the Kerner
