He Got AI To Start a Business For Him While He Watched

👀 A recent video from Chris Koerner…

  • MIND. BLOWN! I Just Paid ChatGPT Operator $200 to Build a Business…

Operator is an AI agent “that can use its own browser to perform tasks for you” 🤖

$200/mo for access, US only and has some restrictions. (Free alternative outlined here if you’re more tech savvy, and a $20/mo alternative.)…

Chris told Operator to…

  • Browse Facebook Marketplace 
  • Find people nearby who are trying to get rid of pianos
  • Message them
  • Offer to take their piano away if they pay $200

Chris focuses on the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where there are 50-60 free pianos listed every day 🎹

Even if only a small % take the offer…

That’s 28 people a week agreeing to pay $200, that’s $5600 a week… that could be a six-figure business

Obviously you’d have to rent a truck to move the pianos, probably fees to dispose of them, and there’s a good bit of manual labor involved 💪

Still, it’s impressive to see how he’s able to test out this idea with AI doing a lot of the initial work.

Well worth watching his video and thinking about how else you could use Operator to test your ideas 🧐

I went on Facebook marketplace and saw there were several pianos in my area listed for free. People just wanted them gone. I messaged them and offered $200 to come move it for them. Me and a friend would go pick up the piano, and if it was in good condition sell it somewhere else. If it wasn’t in good condition, sold the metal for scrap for another $50 or so. We moved about 30 pianos over the course of 2-3 years in college.
