SOLOBUILT BUILD VS. BUY
One a week, on Tuesdays

Episodes

Each episode takes one thing solo operators get pitched, rebuilds the useful part with the AI I already pay for, shows it running, and prices the difference. Every episode says what the build cannot do and ends with a verdict. The build from each episode is a $49 kit.
