Why build custom AI tools?

Off-the-shelf AI is powerful, but custom AI is transformational. Most people are stuck at the surface level:

Using generic ChatGPT responses instead of purpose-built AI assistants
Manually repeating tasks that a custom AI workflow could handle automatically
Paying for expensive SaaS tools when a custom GPT could do the same job
Missing the creator economy — custom GPTs are a sellable skill

The people who build AI tools will lead the next decade. This course teaches you how.
