A cold outreach agency at $58,500 a month runs on three plain agents, not an AI setter
He runs a B2B cold outreach agency at $58,500 a month in recurring revenue.

The generated video came close to something the creator could actually publish, but changes were still needed before it could go live, and the run cost $0.33 in API credits and took longer than expected.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI edited my whole video from one raw clip
He dropped his raw clip into AI and it did the edit: it cut the stutters, pauses, and ums, and added zooms, sound effects, captions, and animations. He says the finished edit was the AI’s work, not his.
A blind business owner built an accessible way into a client's journal system and sold it for $1,700
A fully blind accessibility consultant used AI to build a plain language front end that talks to a therapy journal system through its API, so his blind client can ask what appointments she has instead of fighting an interface her screen reader cannot use. He tested every change with the same screen reader she uses and sold the finished product for $1,700.
