🦎 6 Profitable AI Plays No One’s Shipping (Yet)

Concrete plays, not platitudes—six AI opportunities with tools, pricing angles, and first steps.

Hey there, Creator!

Everybody’s yelling “AI is the biggest opportunity in history!” but when you ask what exactly I should build? You get vague hype and a shrug.

I’m over it.

So I started digging. I’ve been talking to people actually making money in AI — the ones landing clients, building products, automating processes — and I’m seeing the same thing over and over:

The biggest wins aren’t in some distant AI future. They’re happening right now in spaces most people are ignoring.

If you start building today, you could be charging $10k+ per project by the end of summer.

Let’s break it down.

let’s go get it…

"If you're not charging enough, you're probably not offering enough value, and if you're offering enough value, you're probably not charging enough."

#1 — Sell $5K–$10K AI Videos

Remember that Whop commercial that looked like GTA? 100% AI. Went mega-viral. Cost a fraction of traditional production.

Brands are drooling over this style but can’t find creators who know how to pull it off.

The advantage of AI video? You can create things no agency can deliver, and do it for a fraction of the price.

Internet culture moves fast, and AI lets you keep up.

The demand is obvious:

Brands are desperate for this style of content, and hiring managers can't find people who understand the tools yet.

Tools to learn to master AI video:

I've been experimenting with this myself. Last week, I created a 30-second product demo that would have cost $5-8k to film traditionally.

Made it in 2 hours for around $40 in VEO3 (prices can and will continue dropping).

I sent it to my long-time friend who is a film producer, and I could tell he was questioning his future (lol).

If you can master AI video tools, you'll be the person who makes brands go viral.

Here's the golden window: 

When new tools with broad market applications emerge, there's a brief moment to become fluent before others catch up.

Right now, AI video is that frontier.

The tutorials don't exist yet. The competition is asleep at the wheel.

AI video is perfect if you're creative and love experimenting.

But what if you prefer solving logical problems with clear ROI? Here's the most profitable opportunity on this list..

#2 — Build AI Agents That Print Money

Stop trying to build a smarter ChatGPT. The cash is in automation.

Think: replacing repetitive, manual tasks with AI-powered agents.

  • A dentist saves 4 hours of admin work per day.

  • An agency automates its client content flow and charges $5k/month

We are witnessing a shift right now:

A year ago, most businesses weren’t ready for automation.

They didn’t trust AI yet.

Companies, when you shilled AI automation to them

But that’s changing fast.

Here’s what I’m seeing on the ground:

Once one company automates, its competitors panic. They realise the other guy now runs leaner, cheaper, faster. Then they scramble to catch up.

That’s where you come in.

This works best if you have industry knowledge - understanding how things are done manually is your unique advantage. Start there.

From a pure money perspective? Probably the best opportunity on this list.

Two revenue streams are possible here:

Build automations as a service for businesses or teach others to build them (huge demand at different technical levels).

The demand for n8n is through the roof.

Tools to master to build AI agents: 

  • N8N (my top pick - best LLM integration)

  • Lindy (less technical)

  • Make.com • Other workflow builders

Pick verticals you understand. Don't automate legal workflows if you've never worked with lawyers. But have you run an e-commerce store? Perfect, automate customer service for other store owners.

And this is why I love this opportunity. You’re not starting from zero. Your past experience is your unfair advantage.

I’m non-technical and building my first AI agents now. It’s the fastest I’ve ever gone from idea to revenue.

#3 — Launch $10K/Weekend AI Vibecoding Bootcamps

Traditional coding bootcamps are dying. Too expensive ($15k+), too long (6+ months), uncertain ROI in the AI age.

But what if you could help complete beginners build and ship a real app in a weekend?

With AI vibecoding tools like Cursor and Claude, this isn't fantasy anymore.

It’s happening.

You could become the person who turns wannabe builders into actual entrepreneurs.

The math is beautiful: 25-30 people Ă— $400 = $10-12k revenue for one weekend.

Do this monthly = $120k+/year just from weekends.

You can also find a curriculum formula that works + scale it using facilitators.

I get multiple DMs per week asking, "How do I learn to code with AI?"

People are tired of online courses that go nowhere. Everyone wants to build, but they're scared to start alone.

Tools to learn for vibecoding:

  • Lovable, Bolt, or Replit for starters

  • Cursor and Claude Code for more advanced sessions

The business model works from day one. Find a co-working space in any major city, get 25-30 local builders together, partner with media for exposure ("best app gets featured").

If you have 0 coding skills, you could also hire someone with coding knowledge to create the education, and you do the marketing.

Potential long-term plan:

The best builders from your camps become your equity partners in their next ventures.

You're not just teaching, you're building a network of entrepreneurs who owe their start to you.

People love learning online, but there's a huge shift toward wanting to connect again.

You could own the AI education space in your city before anyone else realizes what's happening.

Honestly? I'd join one myself (Dm me if you’re ever in the Houston area

#4 — Build the “No Friction” Consumer App + UGC Army

Some teenagers built CalAI - a calorie tracking app using AI, now making millions per month.

Instead of manually entering every meal, you just take a photo, and it estimates calories.

They didn’t invent a new idea.

They removed friction from an existing one.

That’s the play.

They acquire users at scale using hundreds of UGC creators posting about the app.

The formula that's working:

  • Take a successful app requiring tedious manual input

  • Add an AI layer to eliminate friction

  • Market with scaled UGC content

How the money works: It's all about volume and incentivizing creators to generate views. You only pay per view - no views, no money.

Scaled UGC = hundreds of small accounts posting different angles about your product.

Here's how companies like Cluely multiply their short-form impact using clipper accounts

Your job is not to build a hypercomplex app.

Your job is to turn a painful habit into something automatic, then flood the timeline until people can’t ignore you.

If you know short-form content, you don’t need to be technical to win here.

You don’t need a new idea. You need to make an old one easier.

Consumer apps are great for the digital-first crowd.

But the exact opposite trend is also growing rapidly…

#5 — Monetize Real Offline Communities (The Anti-AI Play)

This is a personal one (the anti AI play, lol)

Everyone’s online way too much.

Founders are spending 12 hours a day in front of screens. Real human connection now feels rare and precious.

That’s your opportunity.

I’ve seen it myself.

I attended an AI meetup recently in downtown Houston.

One person drove two hours just to meet other like-minded individuals. People couldn’t get enough.

We're all so digitally fried that real human connection feels revolutionary. They started with 8 people in a coffee shop, and the event organizers are already making thousands from offline meetups.

Your opportunity: 

Build in-person chapters for business meetups with a very low-tech/no-tech vibe. Low-tech retreats. As people become increasingly overwhelmed by the overuse of technology, the counter trend will keep growing.

The business model is simple:

  • Membership Fees

  • Event tickets

  • Retreat Weekends

  • Digital Products/Book helping to unplug

Start small, build trust, scale from there.

Solopreneurs spend all day on computers and need actual community.

And I’m not talking about the next Discord or Telegram chat….

I'm talking about actually meeting like-minded people who think and act like you. Being fully present without hiding behind your phone. Having real conversations about the stuff that actually matters.

You can start this in any major city. Find a co-working space, and tap into the local community.

The demand is so high that it's easy to find enough people.

The more disconnected we become digitally, the more valuable real connection becomes.

#6 — Niche AI Content-as-a-Service (CAAS)

Here’s the last profitable AI play no one’s talking about.

Instead of trying to build a massive audience yourself, become the silent AI-powered content department for people who already have one.

Think:

  • Podcast hosts who need 20 shorts per week

  • Coaches who want daily LinkedIn posts but hate writing

  • YouTubers who want SEO blog articles from every video

You run the AI stack, they get the content, and you bill a flat $2k–$5k/month retainer.

Why it works:

  • Creators are drowning in content demands.

  • AI can handle 80% of the work, and you polish the final 20%.

  • Once you’re in their workflow, they won’t let you go.

Tools to learn:

  • Opus Clip or Munch for shorts

  • Descript for transcripts

  • Claude or GPT-5 for writing

  • Canva for branded assets

The play: land one client, nail the system, then scale to five. That’s $10k+/month without posting a single thing on your own feed.

Jamar’s Bookmarks

Here’s a great vibe marketing prompt to add to your arsenal…

I’ve done this exercise and I highly recommend that you try it too, as it can reveal so much about yourself!

Look, everyone makes it sound like AI has already conquered the world. Like you missed the boat.

That's bullshit.

We're still in the earliest days of AI. The tools finally have enough capability to build real businesses, but most people are still watching from the sidelines.

I’m not trying to hype you up.

I'm saying it because I see it happening right in front of me.

People are creating life-changing businesses with AI skills they learned in their spare time.

The timing is perfect if you start now.

Let me know if you enjoyed this edition.

Highly recommend any golf course in the great state of Maine during the summer!

See you next Tuesday @ 10 am.🦎
