I’m going to talk about some insane AI tools that, if used wisely, can turn a one-man business into a million-dollar company.Photo by SumUp on UnsplashMost people have no clue how powerful AI has become.They scroll through YouTube or Instagram, see people talking about AI, try ChatGPT or Claude once, and assume it’s not for them.And so, I’m writing a couple of posts every month to let you know how to practically use AI for your needs.Here’s a recent post that I wrote.If You’re Not Using These 6 AI Tools, You’re Working “10X Harder” for No ReasonI’m continuing this series and sharing more AI tools to help you run a one-person business, save time, and make money.More precisely, I’m going to talk about some insane AI tools that, if used wisely, can turn a one-man business into a million-dollar company.Note: This post is part of my AI Made Simple newsletter, and it doesn’t contain any affiliate links. All of these AI tools are free to use up to a limit or offer a free trial.Let’s start.1. BuildpadThis AI tool is for the founder, and it provides you with a clear roadmap to go from idea to a successful product.Let me talk about my own journey.So, when I started my own AI newsletter, I took the help of this AI tool.I’m talking about Buildpad.The Buildpad team has divided the complete process into 7 phases, where they provide a clear roadmap, solve multiple specific queries, offer real data, and everything one needs to launch their own product.Here are some questions it asked me when I was trying to determine the actual need for my product:As you can see, it even gave me real data to prove whether my idea had an actual need or not.In the same way, it further helped me define my product, target the audience, build my product, and more. I’m on the last phase, where I’m working on marketing my product.Talking about the pricing, it gives you a free trial to get started.2. Cursor AINow, I need to be honest — I never thought there would be an AI editor that could help build apps without any programming knowledge.Yes, one just needs to write a couple of prompts, and your app is ready.I’m talking about Cursor AI — an AI-powered code editor that crossed $100M ARR in just 21 months.Source: TwitterAnd after trying it myself, I have to say it’s one of the best AI products, and now I’m a bit worried about the programming industry.Just to give you some idea, here are some great features it offers:The best part?It has an agent mode that can handle tasks from start to finish.And it can automatically write and run terminal commands, find coding errors, and fix them.3. UizardYou know, as a web developer, I used to hire a UI designer so they could create UI designs for my client’s projects.But now, I simply use Uizard AI, which turns my product ideas into concepts instantly.To be precise, I’ve been using Autodesigner 2.0 for a couple of months, and it has made the design process even better.What do you need to do?Well, just write your ideas in plain text, and it will convert them into designs or prototypes that you can further refine in seconds.Yes, you can modify the design by describing the changes you want to the AI or even manually customize it the way you like.Talking about pricing, it’s free for up to 3 generations per month, and if you need more, you can opt for the pro plan.Here’s a great video on how to use Autodesigner 2.0:https://medium.com/media/05c356d0f3b14b8f3649342b59b591d2/href4. mymindAs a content creator and programmer, I use this AI tool a lot.This is because I need to keep up with the latest advancements in AI and tech.I think YouTube videos take too much time, so I prefer reading blogs instead.Even when I’m writing content or code, I often find interesting posts I want to read later, so I save them in “mymind” for future reading.The process is super simple.Just right-click on any image, link, note, or more to save or bookmark the information you need in mymind.The best part? It organizes everything I’ve saved using AI, structuring it properly.When you need to find something, just visit “mymind” and search for it.5. NotebookLM & Google AI StudioI never talked about Gemini or other AI tools from Google since I never liked them.But I’m genuinely impressed with NotebookLM and Google AI Studio.First of all, I’m using NotebookLM for content creation tasks, stock analysis, reading books & research papers, and more.And it even turns any book or document into an audio podcast, and you can talk to AI in real time, asking questions that come to your mind about something specific.Insane, right?Now, let’s talk about Google AI Studio — it’s basically an interface with tons of features.First off, you can try the latest AI models, such as Gemini 2.0 Flash or Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental Model.And then, you can interact with Gemini through text, voice, video, or even screen sharing.And that’s what makes it super cool.Suppose you don’t know about the latest software — you can share your screen and ask it how to use a specific feature in a particular software.Insane, right?Hope you like it.That’s it — thanks.If you’ve found this post helpful, make sure to subscribe to my newsletter, AI Made Simple where I dive deeper into practical AI strategies for everyday people.5 Killer AI Tools That Are So Valuable They Feel Illegal To Know was originally published in The Startup on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
