What's the base price? then extra charge for extra features and agents? Retainer?

I sat down with Devin Kearns, co-founder & CEO of Custom AI Studio, to break down what it actually takes to build an AI agency with real enterprise value, not just another lifestyle business. We get into why most AI work being sold today won't survive 2027, why the mid-market is the prime opportunity (not SMBs or enterprises), the 11 ways AI experts are actually making money right now, how to position with frameworks instead of being just another vendor, and the five things Devin wishes he knew sooner. If you're building, running, or thinking about starting an AI agency, this is the strategic conversation I wish I'd had two years ago.

One idea a day goes into my pipeline. Inbound clients come out the other side. Here's what I figured out. → A Claude agent rewrites each idea into platform-native posts for X, LinkedIn, and TikTok, no manual reformatting. → A second agent pulls the best-performing hooks from my top posts and uses them to score new content before it publishes. → Everything queues automatically, so the platforms stay fed whether I'm building or sleeping. The pipeline is why posting feels like nothing and closes feel like something. What's the part of your content workflow that's still fully manual right now?

I just found out that this community is really active and there is nothing I love more than an active Skool community. My name is Arda and I'm currently building an agency to sell AI operating systems to businesses. I've got two free clients and I'm looking forward to creating a content system to get paid ones. I am also a developer so I can just say that Claude is my best friend. So drop a comment because I would love to connect with other agency owners in this space who are on the same grind and have the same vision as me!
