Hi AInauts,
Welcome to the latest issue of your favorite newsletter.
Most likely, right after we send today's newsletter, the new GPT-5.6 model will drop. Probably with a two-million-token context window and brand-new business consulting skills.
And maybe a drone mode. We are exaggerating. A little. But after the past few model weeks, nothing would shock us anymore.
We will touch on new model approaches towards the end. Before that, today's issue is practical: a few business ideas for the AI age and simple ways to build websites.
Here is what we have in store for you today:

π‘ Fugu: is this the new AI model approach?
Let's go.
π 4 E-Commerce AI Business Ideas Without Your Own Product
We have not shared business ideas in a while. If you have not been around that long: we love looking at the new opportunities AI opens up for normal people.
Many AInauts are always looking for inspiration. This week we stumbled across a post that stuck with us:

Tobi LΓΌtke is the founder of Shopify. Shopify recently introduced an API that gives creative non-techies a way to build interesting commerce experiences. Fine, you still need a bit of technical curiosity. But still.
Behind it is UCP, the Universal Commerce Protocol.
Shopify rolled it out with its new Spring Edition, together with Google, as an open standard.
Translated: AI agents can search the full Shopify catalog with billions of products, build carts, and complete checkout directly.
The real breakthrough is something else. Until now, you needed approval from Shopify for this kind of thing. That gate is gone.
And you do not even need your own shop to build on it. Register a profile, use the public endpoint, done.
We call it the Stripe moment for shopping. Stripe turned payments into a layer everyone could build on. That is now starting to happen with shopping.
To make it concrete, here are a few ideas for using this API and millions of Shopify stores.

4 Ideas You Could Start With
The niche buying advisor. Take the sneaker demo and turn it into a business. A chat agent for a tightly defined audience: gear for trail runners, first equipment for new parents, home-office setups for creators, or a gift assistant for people who hate choosing gifts.
It curates from the huge catalog and guides people directly to purchase. You earn through commission, a small subscription, or as a smart lead magnet for your own business.
The honest best-value finder. Build your own niche version of Stiftung Warentest or Consumer Reports in the area you know best. Market it exactly that way. Trust is the lever here.
The gift concierge via WhatsApp. Simple flow: connect the API to a WhatsApp or Telegram number and define a bot workflow like: describe the person, budget, occasion, and taboo gifts.
Then the agent suggests five suitable products. Around Christmas or Mother's Day, that is almost a no-brainer.
Shopping directly inside your content. You have an audience, a newsletter, or a community? Build shopping directly into the context. You recommend something, and the reader buys without jumping through five extra steps.
Our Take
Yes, implementation still gets a bit technical. But as we wrote on Monday: building small applications and connecting APIs is no longer nearly as hard as it used to be.
We will build a dummy version of this ourselves.
And yes, users could also do this with ChatGPT and a Shopify integration.
These ideas are more arbitrage than built-to-last businesses.
But with more than ten years in affiliate marketing, we can tell you: these things can be worth it. With AI, it becomes even more relevant who manages to capture attention at the exact moment people want to buy.
If you already have a niche or an audience, the hardest part is done. The rest is now an API. We all become marketers, until maybe even that becomes unnecessary. π
Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)
Thatβs 6 sales in 7 months. 29 all time. And the performance?
16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 29 at Masterworks.com)
Itβs not from stocks, private equity, or real estateβ¦ itβs from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
With Masterworks, you donβt need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.
Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*
Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.
As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.
Looking to diversify your investments in 2026?

πͺ Onepage AI 2.0: Vibe Coding Meets No-Code
Note: Onepage is a German company, and a few screenshots in this section may show German interface labels.
Almost every one of us eventually has to build a website or funnel.
Privately, for a business, or for a side project. Thanks to AI, that no longer requires a technical degree.
You describe what you want and get something good-looking within minutes.
But many AI tools have a problem, especially for non-techies: in the end, they give you code. And as soon as you want to change one small thing, the drama starts.
Prompting tiny text changes often takes longer than just making them yourself.
That is exactly why we showed you Onepage a year ago, a website builder we have used for our own pages for years.
The great part back then: AI builds the page, and you can adjust it afterward without touching code.
That was cool, but it had two small catches:
Adjustments were still fully manual.
The Onepage AI was still locked into fairly rigid rules.
Now Onepage AI 2.0 is in beta, and it brings a lot of new capabilities.
We tested it directly and had it build an "AInauten AI Consulting" page from a prompt.

One paragraph about what we wanted, and the AI got going.
It built section after section in AInauten purple: hero, service cards, timeline, and animated counters.
And while it keeps building in the background, you can already edit the finished parts in the preview on the right.
That is the vibe-coding part: the AI writes real code in the background, while you work only with what appears in the visual preview.

Without a lot of prompting, Onepage's marketing know-how gives you genuinely strong websites, especially when conversion and structure matter.
You can immediately change text manually and very quickly. Colors, buttons, and similar details: click in and adjust.
Beyond the completely new experience, the AI 2.0 update brings several useful features. The most impressive one for us is Promptable Controls.
Every generated page contains different sections.
For each section, the AI also builds its own control panel where you can adjust colors and other details.
The kicker: if you want more controls, you can simply ask it to build them.
We asked it to add a panel for accent color, headline, and button text to the hero. Seconds later, we had exactly that: a visual color picker and input fields.
You say once what you want to control, get the sliders and fields for it, and can then visually change the design.
That is the real jump in 2.0. The first AI wave was fast, but afterward you were stuck. Here, AI builds the site and gives you control at the same time.
Vibe coding, meaning you describe what you want, meets no-code, meaning everything stays visually editable. Add real animations and small interactions, not just static blocks.
And both parts work together. You can start from a finished template or prebuilt Onepage section and upgrade it by prompt. Or you can create a section from scratch and still edit it visually afterward.
Onepage is not just a page generator either. What the AI builds lives directly inside Onepage. You can host it, publish it, and continue with CRM, SEO, and the usual operating work.
Sure, betas can wobble, but for us it ran quite stable.
And as always with Onepage: German company, GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany.
If you need a website or funnel and you are not a techie, take a look at the new Onepage AI 2.0 beta.
P.S. You can even build pages directly from Claude now, because Onepage has added an MCP connector. We will show you how that works in detail soon.
Your best prompts are the ones you'd never bother typing.
The detailed ones. The ones with examples and edge cases. Wispr Flow lets you speak them instead β clean, structured, ready to paste into any AI tool. Free on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
π‘ Fugu: Another Model Team, and Our Take on It
Last week we showed you OpenRouter Fusion. This week, Fugu from Sakana AI is making headlines, and the principle is similar: not one model, but a whole team of models working together.

We include it because there seems to be a trend: more providers are trying to get top performance not from one giant model, but from coordination, routing, and model collaboration.
Does that mean we no longer need the top models from OpenAI and others?
As always, we want to give you a short assessment before you spend money on API models.
After our first tests, honestly: you can skip Fugu for now. Still pretty buggy, and in our tests not better than Opus and similar models.
The approach itself is strong though, both with Fugu and with Fusion. A new way of building AI models is emerging here, and that remains interesting.
If you still want to play with it: Sakana is once again not available in the EU, but you can test Fugu through OpenRouter.

For everyone who enjoys trying new models: take a quick look, but keep expectations under control.
That is it for today. We will be back next week with new, useful things to try.
Until then!
Reto & Fabian from AInauten
