Which AI business should you actually start? There are more of them every day, so I ranked every AI business from worst to best, 13 in total, scoring each one on how technical you need to be, the market and long-term durability. I've run some of these myself and watched a lot of my community build the others. The one everyone hypes up came in last, and the one at the top isn't even technically a business.

Some of you have never heard of the AIS+ community. Others have but the part that trips you up is the actual difference between the two. Either way, this post will give you clarity. This free group is a bundle of quick resources pulled from my YouTube videos, plus a massive open community that anyone can join. It's a great place to get your bearings and see what's possible. But it's open to everyone, it can be noisy and overwhelming, and there's no path through it. You can get help from other members, but I rarely answer questions here. AIS+ is the opposite: - A step by step roadmap with a clear order, so you're never guessing what to do next - A much smaller community of people who are seriously committed to building and selling AI agents - I answer questions every day and run a weekly Q&A call where you can get direct access to me For the course material: The roadmap takes you from zero to building and selling AI agents, and the whole thing is built on the latest tech like Claude Code and Codex. We update it constantly. The old n8n material has been archived. It's still there if you want it, but it's no longer the focus, because the way you build today has moved on and the courses moved with it. Here's the actual roadmap inside, in order, with when each piece opens up: 1. Start Here (opens the moment you join). Gets you oriented. How the community works, the path ahead, and how to get help when you need it. 2. Build Your Portfolio (opens the moment you join). Why a portfolio matters, beginner level tutorials, and what types of projects to focus on. You end up with real work you can show a client. 3. Claude Code (opens the moment you join). This is now its own dedicated course. Build faster, turn ideas into working automations, and go deep on the tool serious builders are using right now. This takes you from beginner to advanced, step-by-step. 4. Get Your First Clients (opens after 30 days). Getting your first clients is hard, because you don’t have any case studies yet. So, we analyzed all of the success stories from our members and found they get their initial clients with two different techniques: warm outreach and Upwork. So, we teach both techniques in detail with exactly what to say, exactly how to position yourself when you have no proof.

From multi-month consulting contracts and back-to-back UpWork clients to #1 AEO rankings, hackathon wins, and 50 paid signups in 24 hours - the week after AIS Live kept the momentum going. 🚀 Standout Wins of the Week inside AIS+ 👉 @Gerard Vazquez closed a multi-month AI consulting + implementation contract with his first Australian client, working 4 days a week with a 20-person company. 👉 @Dean Razic landed two UpWork clients back-to-back — first a $2K project, then another $3K website build. 👉 @Nicole Jolie took a client from zero visibility to #1 in AEO, with no remaining AEO issues across the site. 👉 @Ronald Addico launched his Skool community and brought in 50 paid members plus 1,084 waitlist signups in under 24 hours — with zero paid ads. 👉 @Jeffery Gyamerah and his teammate won HackIAton, beating 350 teams across Panama, Ecuador, and Argentina. ⸻ 🎥 Super Win Spotlight | @Dennis Hettema Dennis had already spent months building Hello Revenue when he joined AIS+. He didn’t need more AI hype. He needed other serious builders who could challenge how he was thinking. Through live calls and conversations inside the community, he found the kind of human input AI couldn’t give him - different perspectives, context, and people willing to push back. That helped him break through technical roadblocks and improve the system he was building. Today, Hello Revenue is producing results across multiple industries and bringing in new clients. His biggest takeaway? AI is powerful. But if you’re serious about building, you still need great people around you. 🎥 Watch Dennis’s story 👇 ✨ Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t another model, prompt, or tool. It’s one conversation that helps you see the problem differently.

This past weekend we hosted AIS Live: Build Your AI OS. And it was too much fun 🤣 It was two full days with thousands of our community members, speakers, panels, breakout rooms, networking, and live builds. I broke down my Four Cs framework for building an AI operating system: context, connections, capabilities, and cadence. That's what it takes to build a personal agent system and a team system that feels like a co-founder working while you sleep, instead of an assistant you talk to every once in a while. A few sessions I want to call out: → Cole Medin and Sabrina Ramonov both ran amazing sessions → Kacper Rutkiewicz and I brought a community member up on stage and helped her design her very first AI operating system live → Dave Ebbelaar, Jack Roberts, and Jannis Moore shared what we're building with Glaido → Duy Nguyen, Ron Nedd, and Tanya Zorov, who are going through our certification program right now, shared what they're building for real clients → Devin Kearns closed out the whole event with his featured keynote My entire team also got up and broke down how we run a $400k+/mo business with AI: → Jon Morrow on operations and marketing → Aidan Stanik and Kodi Zene on creative → Pat Blakely and Russ Henneberry on the certification program → Meghan Cox on funnels → Jenn Van Wagner on recruiting → Ednan Abdullayev on evals → Mustafa Tawfiq and Dominic Ibarra on customer support And Anne-Marie Enns somehow made a virtual event feel like everyone was in the same room together. Yash Chauhan and Usman Mohammed spotlighted community members building amazing things, including Eshara Kohli, Michael Wacht, and Nicole Jolie. Thank you to all of our other wonderful speakers: Quinn Leng, Christina Bowllan, Oak Latt, Sean Zinsmeister, Kamya Marwah, Sam Warach, Jillian Wolf, Tarja Stephens, Sania Khan, Samin Yasar, Katya Dominguez, and Laura Zavelson. Thank you to everyone who attended! Thank you to our sponsors Kylon, Fish Audio, and Glaido! I've had some pretty bad things happen to me in my life, like we all have, but I think it's really important to reflect on weekends like this and remember how lucky you are.

If I join AIS+ before the 18th, does that include a ticket to AIS Live?
