āš” AI Entrepreneur Story Of The Week!

Letā€™s dial it back a littleā€¦

So for the past few weeks, Iā€™ve been sharing some big names for this section. However, this time Iā€™ve got someone who might hit a little closer to home.

Introducing Liam Ottley, a serial AI entrepreneur and content creator. As an early viewer of his Youtube channel, Liam has been consistently putting out content since the release of ChatGPT around helping entrepreneurs to start their AI-related businesses.

His latest content revolves around a growing AI Automation Agency (AAA) model, which is something Iā€™ve been involved with myself. Heā€™s done over $45,000 profit with this model in the last 30 days as the CEO of his agency, Morningside AI.

If youā€™re looking for ideas to get started with an AI business, heā€™s your guy.

šŸ‘† My #BuildInPublic Feature

Ever had that feeling where you keep typing the same simple tasks into ChatGPT? Well, Vladimir Kosenko (@web3brightside) caught my attention for this weekā€™s BIP feature - Zentask AI.

Itā€™s got the all tasks that you would hand off to AI pre-built and ready to go, making your life a whole lot easier than plonking a huge prompt into ChatGPT. A huge time saver!

šŸ”Ø Amazing AI Projects Worth Looking Into

Project #1: GPT-Engineer by Anton Osika (@antonosika)

Oh, this one is goodā€¦

GPT-Engineer takes in one prompt and generates an entire codebase and technical spec for your project. It can build an entire game, website, or app within minutes just with a single prompt. Itā€™s completely open source too!

Project #2: Thereā€™s An AI For That (@theresanaiforit)

Thereā€™s An AI For That (TAAFT) is the worldā€™s largest AI aggregator, where you can find a huge array of AI tools and apps. Think of it as a massive AI tool directory. Itā€™s also got an AI search feature that allows you to easily find the right tool for your needs. A handy website to know.

Project #3: Midjourneyā€™s new Zoom Out feature (@CopySutra)

Well, I told you Iā€™ve got to include a project around AI art every week. Not because I want to, but because the AI art scene is growing like wildfire and itā€™s honestly so captivating. Check out Sutraā€™s roundup of Midjourneyā€™s new Zoom Out feature if you want to see exactly what I mean.
