💸 $190’000 dollars per month with a simple AI wrapper app!

Let's start with a story that we think is absolutely great.

Sure, the headline just sounds like clickbait. But if you look at the concept behind it, it becomes evident that we are living in the most exciting and crazy times ever!

So, we came across the following post on X:

In a nutshell: A solopreneur has built a simple little app in which you can upload screenshots of your dating conversations from Tinder, Bumble, WhatsApp etc. - and then get suggestions for possible answers, making you a flirting genius.

We don't want to get into a discussion about whether something like this is good or bad. The fact is: the creator behind the app RizzGPT makes around $190’000 dollars in revenue per month!

Why is this so important?

The exciting thing behind the story is that thanks to AI, almost anyone has the opportunity to launch such apps. You just need a good idea!

OpenAIs GPT-model powers this app in a very simple way. You upload an image, GPT-Vision understands it and is tasked with generating a clever answer based on it and then feeding it back into the app.

Alternatively, everyone can build and use such an app in 2 minutes with ChatGPT Plus - just build a GPT! Or you could also create a simple OpenAI Assistant and control it with Zapier.

We initially thought that the foundation models and the companies behind them would make all other software wrappers useless.

But we can see now that the exact opposite is the case!

Just because everyone seems to be talking about AI and thanks to our flood of emails, you might think that everyone knows what GPTs etc. are. But that is not the reality!

Examples like this one are impressive proof.

The big disadvantage: Because it is so easy to implement, there are quickly many imitators, as a search in the App Store proves:

How can you build an app like this?

The brilliant thing is that even non-tech-savvy folks can implement such things, thanks to no-code apps and automation.

Sure, building your own app is always a bit scary.

But with tools such as Bubble.io and an OpenAI access, you can build something very solid - even if the learning curve with Bubble should not be underestimated. But you could also cover it super simply via a Zapier chatbot.

This is precisely why we consider the ability to combine AI, automation and no-code tools to be one of the most important for the coming years.

Thanks to the large AI models that are accessible to everyone, each of us has the opportunity to build impressive things. Even if you're not an absolute techie.

🤖 This is how AI presents your PowerPoint for you

AI is particularly useful when it does the things for us we don’t want to do.

For many people, especially in the field of coaching and sales, it is tiresome to give the same presentations and answer the same questions over and over again.

Wouldn't it be cool if AI could do this instead?

Spoiler alert: In principle, this is already possible! Even with you as the virtual presenter.

It is still a bit technical at the moment, but there are some apps that make it increasingly simple.

Step 1: Google Slides integration of Living AI

With Living AI, you can add simple avatars to your Google presentation.

Just install the plugin. Select an avatar. Enter your text. Choose voice and language. You’re done.

You can then export your presentation as a video and even create a talking avatar based on your image:

The advantage of Living AI is that it is quite inexpensive. Unfortunately, the avatars are still a bit mechanical and Google doesn't allow you to easily export the whole presentation as a coherent video.

Which brings us to the next stage ...

Step 3 - Automate PowerPoints with D-ID

One tool that we have written about several times is D-ID. It makes it very easy to create avatar videos.

D-ID also has its own PowerPoint plugin, you can simply download it via the extensions feature.

You can then integrate your D-ID avatars directly into PowerPoint. The process is the same as above.

You can also watch an instruction video here

The big advantage: with PowerPoint we have the option of exporting a continuous video! D-ID is slightly more expensive, but also significantly better.

This brings us one step closer to making ourselves completely redundant.

By the way, Canva.com also has a direct integration of D-ID, if you work with presentations there.

Step 3 - Pose live questions with streaming avatars

The last and final stage is that you create an avatar of yourself, with your voice and armed with your knowledge.

There is also something like this available in a first version of D-ID.

Here you can chat with Alice for free and also send her voice messages. She will then reply to you by voice.

Setting up a chat like this is simple with D-ID. What's more, everyone realizes that it's an avatar. But it's still pretty cool.

A better, more realistic job is currently being done here by HeyGen with the streaming avatar feature.

Here the avatar is more complex to generate, because it is not just an animated photo. On the other hand, you have real backgrounds and everything looks very natural.

Of course, this is also still in beta. But it's quite exciting, especially for chats with potential new customers or for support requests. You can tell that it's AI, but as long as the answers are good, nobody should be bothered by it. And perhaps the other person will even be impressed by how progressive the company is.

By the way, we are also currently building a streaming avatar chatbot with HeyGen - and will post an update here as soon as it is live and working.

⚙️ Our favorite AI tool for perfect audio recordings

Finally, here's our favorite tool if you ever have bad audio files.

With Adobe Enhance you can quickly and easily turn any audio file into perfect sound quality for free.

Simply upload it and off you go!

That’s it for today!

Rock on and see you soon,
