Laziest Way to Make Money With AI (Zero Code)

About this video

Martell argues ChatGPT-style chatting is the ‘kiddie pool of AI’ and presents a director-versus-doer mindset: stop being the person stuck in the middle moving information between tools, treat AI like a junior intern, and build end-to-end automations. He says he launches a new AI company every month in his venture studio Martel Ventures and that they scale because AI does the work. Using the tool he calls Manas (manas.im) and a hypothetical digital marketing agency, he demonstrates three steps. Attract: prompt it to find 50 e-commerce brands in health and wellness active on Instagram and Facebook who posted in the last 30 days, and build a table of company, website, handles and recent topics. Convert: draft personalized outreach referencing a recent post or campaign, ask for a 15-minute call, send at scale via a tool like Instantly or Smart Lead, and have it monitor email every 24 hours for interested replies and notify on Slack. Deliver: for AG1 as an example, research its website, socials and ad campaigns from the last 6 months, then generate a branded presentation and publish it as a public link — work he says would take a human weeks, about 60 hours. A fourth step automates other repetitive work, and a fifth says differentiation when AI can do everything comes down to taste, vision and care in human-to-human business.

Key takeaways

• Adopt the director-versus-doer mindset: stay in the tool, ask why you are leaving it and what you are doing with the information, and get the tool to do that step instead of being the middleman.
• Attract: use an agent to build the lead list while you sleep — in his demo, 50 health-and-wellness e-commerce brands active on Instagram/Facebook in the last 30 days, with contact and recent-activity details in a table.
• Convert: generate personalized outreach referencing each prospect’s recent post or campaign and a 15-minute call ask, then monitor replies every 24 hours and get notified only when someone replies with interest.
• Deliver: use AI to research a prospect (in the demo, AG1’s campaigns from the last 6 months) and produce a hyper-personalized, brand-matched presentation published as a public link rather than a generic PDF.
• Differentiate on taste, vision and care: he says rich people get good at avoiding repeatable tasks (‘don’t repeat yourself’), while knowing what good looks like, seeing a future that should exist, and understanding people remain human work.
