Who it’s for

Hobbyists, game makers and anyone who wants to build something fun with AI.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Teacher: a small quiz game for your class
  • Shop or brand: a daily puzzle that brings customers back
  • Event organizer: a simple trivia game for your audience

Step by step

  1. Write down one problem a specific group of people pays to solve (for example “gym owners losing members”).
  2. Open ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and paste the prompt below to sharpen the idea and list what the first version must do.
  3. Use Claude or ChatGPT (canvas/artifacts) or Cursor to make the first version of the product for one type of customer.
  4. Create a Stripe account and a Payment Link so people can pay from day one.
  5. Make a one-page website that explains the problem, the fix and the price.
  6. Show it to 10 people from your target group and change what confuses them.
  7. Launch where those people already gather, then ask every new user for feedback.

How to make money from it

Pricing idea: Keep the game free and earn from light ads, a small paid tier with extra modes, or sponsors.

Finding your first 10 customers

  • Share it in communities about the game’s topic.
  • Add a “share your score” button so players bring friends.
  • Post a short clip of gameplay on social media every day for a week.

Ideas, not promises. Results vary.
