I Tried 500+ AI Tools, These 20 Will Make You $1M (With Zero Code)

About this video

Martell argues the next wave of millionaires will be AI tool power users, not programmers, and walks through 20 tools his team uses, pairing each with a service you can sell without coding. Examples include using Manus to research and deliver leads to businesses in chunks of 100, 200, or 500 leads a month — work he says took 22 minutes — using Gamma to turn voice notes and emails into presentations for companies on retainer, Descript to edit video by editing text for YouTubers and podcasters, and Eleven Labs voice clones for real estate agents’ listing tours and ads. Other offers cover Social Sweep for managing a client’s network and introductions, a process tool for turning documents, videos, and Zoom interviews into SOPs — a retainer he puts at up to 5,000 a month — Claude for marketing copy, Make.com for automations, Membership.io for building creators’ communities for a setup fee, monthly fee, or revenue share, and Buddy Pro to turn coaches’ knowledge into a digital twin. He also covers a Slack agent, Alley for identifying website visitors — he says most businesses installing it can identify 500 new opportunities a week — Revio for consolidating social inboxes, Lovable for building apps from a Zoom transcript, an AI voice agent for plumbers and HVAC firms, finance tools, a payment-recovery tool, and finally selling ChatGPT setup and training, which he says may only command a couple hundred bucks a month but addresses a market he puts at 700 to 800 million monthly users.

Key takeaways

• Sell the outcome of a tool, not the tool itself: lead generation, presentations, video editing, automations, or community management packaged as a setup fee plus monthly retainer.
• For lead generation with Manus, he suggests delivering leads in monthly chunks of 100, 200, or 500 while the tool does the research, file creation, and outreach work.
• Target creators and experts who already have audiences — he cites 10,000 or 30,000 Instagram followers — and offer to build their community or digital twin for a percentage of the new revenue created.
• Finance and data tools can be sold as a fractional service: he says people already pay 2,000 to 5,000 a month for CFO-level analysis that one of the tools is presented as providing.
• ChatGPT training is framed as the easiest sale: teach master prompts, custom GPTs, personalization, and projects, promising clients a 3x, 4x, or 5x efficiency gain, for a smaller on-call retainer.
