What It Is
You build AI phone assistants for small businesses like roofers that answer calls, collect caller details, book appointments and send texts, so missed calls don't turn into missed jobs. You set them up and maintain them online and charge for the build or a monthly fee.
The Pitch
An agency owner shown in the video says one company paid them $10,000 to build an AI assistant and plays a demo of it booking a roof inspection. Diamond says every missed call is a missed dollar for these businesses.
Who It’s Best For
Tech-curious people who can explain the value to business owners and are comfortable selling.
The Truth (as we see it)
The $10,000 job is another agency's claim, not a typical first sale. Diamond herself rates it two out of five for speed of income because finding clients takes time. Many companies now offer the same service, so expect competition. She promotes her free newsletter in the video.
