🥑 GUACAMOLE DISH : AI AVENGERS

🚀 Ever changed a diaper while dreaming of building an AI empire? David Bressler did exactly that.

Here's the kicker - he turned Excel headaches into a $220K/month AI goldmine WITHOUT. WRITING. A. SINGLE. LINE. OF. CODE.

🎯 The Setup

"I was just a data analyst with a newborn and a 6-week paternity leave," David recalls. While most new dads were mastering swaddles, he spotted something wild: everyone hated Excel formulas. Including him.

The lightbulb? "What if AI could speak Excel so humans don't have to?"

⚡️ The Sprint

  • Tool: Formula Bot

  • Code written: Zero

  • Building time: A few weeks

  • Secret weapon: Bubble.io

  • Launch: September 2022

  • Timing: Two months before ChatGPT changed everything

Here's where it gets juicy...

🚀 The "Oh Snap!" Moment His first users? Junior analysts drowning in Excel formulas. Their reaction? "This is magic!"

Then Reddit found it. Then TikTok Excel influencers (yes, that's a thing) went nuts. Then Microsoft came knocking.

The plot twist? His first bill - $5,000 in API costs. In. Just. Days.

💰 Today's Reality

  • 750,000 users

  • $220K monthly revenue

  • Microsoft official add-on

  • Built entirely during paternity leave

  • Still thriving in the ChatGPT era

🌶️ The Spicy Truth "If I'd waited until ChatGPT launched, Formula Bot wouldn't exist," David admits. "Sometimes the best moment to build is when you least expect it - even if you're running on two hours of sleep and baby formula."

Remember this: While everyone's waiting for the perfect moment with the perfect skills, somewhere out there, a sleep-deprived parent might be building the next AI breakthrough. With no code. Between diaper changes.

That parent could be you.

👉 What's your "I wish AI could fix this" moment? Drop it below. Who knows, it might be your $220K/month idea waiting to happen.

AI will start remixing your music on YouTube🌐💡

Courtesy-TechRadar

YouTube is testing "Restyle a Track," an AI tool that lets creators remix songs using text descriptions. It helps reimagine songs while keeping the original vocals and lyrics intact.

Things to know:

30-Second Snippets: The AI generates a unique 30-second remix snippet that can be used in YouTube Shorts.

Artist Attribution: Proper credit is given to the original artists, and the modified track is clearly labeled as AI-generated.

Dream Track Integration: This feature builds on YouTube's previous "Dream Track" tool, which allows creators to generate AI music from scratch.

Music Industry Collaboration: YouTube has partnered with Universal Music Group to ensure fair compensation for artists whose music is used in AI features.

YouTube's "Restyle" ushers in a new era for music video creators, letting them experiment with styles and connect with audiences in novel ways. As AI pushes creative boundaries, this tool helps musicians and creators shine in the digital landscape.

That’s a wrap
