● Verified · may include consultingMRR

TL;DR

  • Figure: $44,202 MRR (MRR · 15 Oct 2026 · Stripe-verified (TrustMRR))
  • Proof level: Verified · may include consulting. The headline MRR comes from Stripe via TrustMRR, synced 15 Oct 2026. It covers the whole Stripe account, so we can't confirm how much of it comes from the AI product.
  • Scope: Account-level MRR. The same Stripe account shows revenue from before the AI product launched (likely his consulting), so part of this MRR may not come from the AI product.
  • Our verdict (3/10, opinion): Works because of an existing expert reputation and audience; without those, an "AI version of me" is hard to sell. Revenue can't be fully separated from his consulting business.

Agent blueprint

Our suggestion — not how the founder did it

  1. Step 1

    Curation agent

    Organises the expert's content library

  2. Step 2

    Advisor agent

    Answers member questions in the expert's frameworks

  3. Step 3

    QA agent

    Spot-checks answers against the source material

  4. Step 4

    Growth agent

    Turns member questions into content for the expert to post

Human in charge

A person approves money, public posts and key decisions. We don't estimate how much human work this saves.

Agentic-ness today (our estimate): 4/5 · Difficulty: Hard

Our take (opinion)

  1. Start with real expertise and a content library.
  2. Build an AI advisor grounded only in that material.
  3. Sell it to your existing audience first.
  4. Monitor answer quality closely.
  • Skills: Domain expertise, content, basic AI tooling
  • Audience needed: Yes — biggest factor

Risks & limits

  • Output quality and trust.
  • Only works with an existing audience.
  • Revenue may overlap with the consulting business.
