Design whole squads of AI agents for companies (sales bots, document processors, ops bots) — you're not selling one assistant, you're selling a “virtual team” that eats straight into their payroll budget.
Dan's number-one pick, graded “S of the S of the S”: “Agents are AI's iPhone moment.” Competition is low because most people can't even explain what this is — the technical bar keeps everyone out, and that becomes your moat.
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
[Video] Dan: companies pay you to build AI agents — sales bots, document processors, ops bots. The key difference from a virtual assistant: this is “selling a team,” with one chief-of-staff agent supervising multiple agents, like a crew of virtual employees.
The launch sequence starts with one use case rather than a menu. Build a landing page around the AI chief of staff — the role every founder already knows they need for email, scheduling, follow-up and project chasing — and put a waitlist behind it.
The quick-reference card — acquisition channels, replication playbook, and risk map — is members-only.

Data credibility: ⚠️ An opportunity direction, not a specific company; Dan calls the profit “massive” but gave no actual pricing. All revenue figures are founder-reported or estimated by the video creator — unaudited.
The first payment arrives before the product does. The landing page doubles as the offer page, so the move is to email the waitlist that an early adopter program is opening, name the price, and send a payment link, with a call to walk them through it where the deal needs one.
Two things compound here, and neither of them is marketing. The first is the workflow.
The five-step order exists largely to keep this stretch short. Most people start at step five and build the product, then spend months with no signal at all; putting validation, pre-sale and manual delivery first means the longest wait is the days between sending the texts and seeing who replies.
