What It Is

Use ChatGPT to brainstorm small, specific AI tools ($7 to $20 price point) that solve one narrow problem for a niche audience, get ChatGPT to write the build prompt, then use the AI app builder Lovable to actually build the working tool and sell it as a digital product through a simple storefront like Stan Store.

The Pitch

Hamilton demonstrates the full pipeline live: she prompts ChatGPT with a specific client's situation (a daycare owner in Texas), gets a list of tool ideas (a daily child summary generator, an incident report assistant, a lesson planner generator), picks one, has ChatGPT write the exact build prompt, then pastes that into Lovable to generate the working tool in minutes. She sells finished tools like this through Stan Store with a low-price entry point ($17, discounted from $39) plus an order-bump upsell to a higher-priced companion tool.

Who It’s Best For

Someone comfortable brainstorming and iterating with ChatGPT who wants a fully passive, low-price digital product rather than an ongoing client service.

The Truth (as we see it)

Hamilton discloses she has her own paid "operating system" prompt packs and a paid membership tier, and the specific prompts she uses in the demo aren't shown in full detail, only the process. The core mechanic, ChatGPT for ideation and prompt-writing, Lovable for the actual build, is genuinely replicable without her specific paid materials.
