This app makes $450,000 a month, and it's built by a guy who has never written a line of code. This tool hit $36 million of revenue in 45 days. And this one, $56 million worth of product in three hours. All built using Claude code. Guys, this is the best time in history to start a business, to create a side hustle that could 10x your salary. And yes, there's a ton of AI tools out there and a lot of them are pretty good. But Claude Co just released their opus 4.5 last month and it is unreal. And disclaimer. Yes, this. This video is sponsored by Anthropic, the team behind Claude. But I just can't get over how well it works. The biggest opportunity I see right now is helping small businesses implement AI. Right now I'm working on building simple CRMs for specific niches using Claude code. CRM for dog walkers, or how about mobile detailers, H vac companies? And once you build one, you can copy and paste that same framework into a dozen other niches with Claude code. I just describe what I want and it gets it first try. It just knows the tools are all here. The excuses are all gone. So get started with Claude code on the max plan now.
