Let’s be real for a second: the era of making "easy money" by just asking ChatGPT to write a poem is officially over. The hype has settled, the tourists are leaving, and honestly? I couldn't be happier. I’ve been tracking the AI space since the beginning, and I’ve noticed a massive shift. The people actually making money right now aren't "prompting"—they are engineering. They aren't looking for magic; they are building systems.
From Hype to Hardware (and Systems)
In my latest deep dive, I’ve moved past the fairytales. I’m looking at the technical backend of the industry. If you want to build actual wealth in this market, you have to stop thinking like a user and start thinking like an AI Architect.
I’ve identified a few "boring" but incredibly profitable paths that I'm personally excited about:
Custom RAG Systems: Helping small businesses turn their messy PDF folders into a searchable, intelligent "company brain."
Micro-SaaS: Solving one tiny, annoying problem for a specific niche (like automated scheduling for plumbers) using an AI wrapper.
Agentic Workflows: Building bots that don't just "talk" but actually do tasks across different apps.
My Perspective: Why I’m Betting on Micro-SaaS
I’ll tell you why I love the Micro-SaaS model: it’s the ultimate "set it and forget it" if you build it right. I was researching a tool last week that literally only formats legal documents for one specific country—and it’s pulling in thousands in recurring revenue. That’s not luck; that’s finding a gap and filling it with code.
I don't want you to be an AI tourist anymore. I want you to build something that lasts. I've laid out the entire technical blueprint for the 7 most realistic ways to do this right now.
You can read the full breakdown here:
I’m curious—if I were to build one of these businesses from scratch and document every step for you, which one would you want to see? The Micro-SaaS or the Solution Engineering for businesses?
