One of 5 gigs covered in this video

What It Is

You build small single-purpose software tools in an AI app builder by describing them (an intake form, an audit tool, a prompt generator) and either sell them to businesses or charge users a monthly subscription. The creator shows a 'super prompt studio' she built that turns marketing questions into detailed AI prompts.

The Pitch

The creator says a friend earns thousands a month from a $5-a-month tool that only writes Facebook posts, and that businesses may pay $5,000-7,000 for custom tools. Subscriptions create recurring revenue.

Who It’s Best For

Someone with a clear problem to solve for a specific audience and the patience to market a small product.

The Truth (as we see it)

Building simple tools has become easy; getting people to find and keep paying for them is still hard, and the friend's income is a secondhand anecdote. Apps built inside a proprietary builder depend on that platform's pricing and limits. The creator earns credits or commissions on Base44 sign-ups and sells AI training.
