💰 How to make more money with AI

Hey there,

There’s no doubt that AI is permanently disrupting the world of work.

But, right now, there's a massive gap in the market.

Because even though AI tools are becoming increasingly powerful, most people don't know how to use them. The gap between capability and implementation is creating unprecedented opportunities.

Today's email breaks down three specific, profitable AI business ideas that almost anyone could build to solve real problems.

1. AI Dental Booking System

The Problem:

Dental practices lose revenue from missed appointments, struggle to handle after-hours booking requests, and waste valuable staff time on routine scheduling calls. Most practices are either stuck with rigid booking platforms or overwhelmed front desks.

Here's how you could build an AI solution to transform their booking process:

Step 1: Create Your Knowledge Base

The first step would be a system to handle the essential information. With Claude, you could:

• Document different appointment types and their requirements

• Create clear explanations of procedures and preparations

• Build templates for frequently asked questions

• Develop responses for common dental emergencies

• Map out follow-up care instructions and human handover requirements

This knowledge base could centralize the most important information and become the foundation for every patient interaction.

Step 2: Build Your Phone System

The next step would be to use your new knowledge base to power a Bland AI phone system that:

• Schedules routine cleanings and check-ups

• Handles emergency appointment requests

• Collects initial symptoms and concerns

• Provides procedure preparation instructions

• Offers available appointment slots based on urgency

When set up correctly, the phone system could save hours of time by carefully handling the vast majority of enquiries.

Step 3: Connect Everything Together

Of course, simply handling incoming calls is only half the battle. You could also use Zapier to create a seamless experience by:

• Adding appointments directly to the practice calendar

• Sending confirmation emails with preparation instructions

• Triggering reminder texts to reduce no-shows

• Updating patient records with new appointments

• Notifying staff about emergency requests

The result? Dental practices could focus on patient care while their booking system handles scheduling professionally and efficiently.

2. AI Study Companion

The Problem:

Students struggle with different subjects in different ways, but many parents can't afford private tutoring. When exams are looming, they need immediate help, but most existing solutions can't be adapted to their needs.

Here's how an AI solution could provide instant, more personalized support:

Step 1: Build Your Subject Matter Hub

The biggest task would be using NotebookLM to organize essential study materials by:

• Uploading official past exam papers from exam boards

• Importing textbooks and study guides (with permission)

• Adding teacher-provided worksheets and materials

• Including subject-specific curriculum guides

• Organizing practice questions by topic and difficulty

Once completed, you’d have a comprehensive resource foundation that would act as a base for more personalized support.

Step 2: Create Your Study Assistant

The knowledge you’d gathered could then power a Poe chatbot that guides the student through:

• Questions designed to establish specific challenges

• Clear explanations for specific questions

• Step-by-step problem-solving guidance

• Alternative ways to understand difficult concepts

• A patient approach to different learning styles

• Practice questions for immediate application

• Study tips relevant to the current topic

And even though each session would start from scratch, the 1:1 interactions could guide how the bot explains concepts and helps each student solve problems.

3. Content Repurposing System

The Problem:

Many businesses have valuable blog or Youtube content but struggle to reach all the people they would like to. Creating Reels and TikToks is time-consuming, and most don't have the resources for professional short-form video production.

But with AI, you could help them turn their existing content into social gold:

Step 1: Script Creation

While most long-form content can’t be easily condensed to under 60 seconds, using Gemini you could:

• Extract key points for short-form video

• Write attention-grabbing opening hooks

• Identify new information to include

• Create concise, impactful scripts

• Generate engaging social captions

Step 2: Media Production

Text-only content has its limitations, but you could layer on the visuals and audio by:

• Creating consistently styled visuals with Midjourney 

• Using ElevenLabs to create natural-sounding voice overs

• Composing custom background music with Suno

• Piecing them all together with Canva

Once the process was dialled in, you’d have a system that could turn any blog post into engaging social video content efficiently and consistently.

Why These Work:

None of these business ideas are “easy money”. They each require work to set up, attention to detail, significantly more research, and a commitment to staying up-to-date with AI developments.

But ideas like these have the potential to solve specific, expensive problems with scalable AI solutions. 

They're not replacing humans, they're making human work more valuable by handling routine tasks intelligently.

Of course, to get started on these ideas (or any other ideas these might have inspired) you’d need a strong understanding of all the tools listed above.

Fortunately, The Rundown AI University has got you covered.

We have a dedicated section inside our Tool Library for every tool needed for these ideas.
