I've been thinking about what it means now that ANYONE can whip up a working AI tool in a weekend.
Even people like me...
People who wouldn't know computer code if it bit them in the face.
The world is our oyster!
It took me about 3 hours to rebuild every.to's writing tool. (see pic of my working version 👇).
Maybe 45 minutes of that was actual AI work...
And the rest was me fiddling with fonts and colors like a weirdo.
The end result wasn't anything super fancy.
BUT...
With tools just like this, we could monetize it eleventy-seven ways to Sunday.
A year ago, building something like this would've required either a developer on payroll...
... or months of learning to code yourself.
Now we can get it done in a lazy Sunday afternoon with some YouTube tutorials and a cup of coffee.
The barrier to creating useful AI tools has basically collapsed.
Which means the sticking point isn't really about building anymore.
It's about what you DO with the thing once it exists.
I've been noodling on this a lot…
There are newsletter creators, course creators, coaches, consultants — all these people sitting on frameworks and methodologies that could become tools.
Most of them have no idea how to build anything, and most of them don't have the time or interest to learn.
But we can build something in a weekend that solves a real problem for their audience.
Whether it's THEIR frameworks...
Or our OWN (which we can put in as many different distribution streams as we can dream up).
So the question I keep coming back to is this…
If you could clone any tool — or build one from scratch — in a weekend, what would you make?
And more importantly, who would you take it to?
I'm not looking for polished business plans here. I'm just curious what's rattling around in your head, even if it's half-baked.
Drop it below.
In Your Corner,

PS - I'll share the clone I built if there's interest. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
