5 AI Tools I’d Use to Make $1M (w/o employees, money, or time)
About this video
Shaan showcases six underrated AI and productivity tools designed to help entrepreneurs increase efficiency and earnings, from deepfake video generators and AI browsers to financial analysis software and job application automation. The hosts discuss both the practical applications and ethical concerns surrounding these emerging technologies.
Key takeaways
- AI video generation tools like Juan 2.2 and enhancer.ai can create convincing deepfake videos for ads and content; public domain figures like JFK are being used by creators like PJ Ace to generate hundreds of millions of views
- Switching to an AI-first browser like Comet (or Perplexity) significantly improves research workflows by enabling natural language queries, YouTube transcript analysis, and LinkedIn recruiter-like talent searches—all free or cheaper than existing tools
- Whisper Flow voice-to-text software enables 220 words per minute compared to 45 WPM typing, dramatically improving productivity for founders who struggle with keyboard use; Shaan uses it as a hot key for quick voice commands and formatting
- Try Shortcut.ai offers an AI-powered Excel alternative that analyzes financial data and builds models (DCF, income statements) using natural language; available as both cloud and Excel plugin with free credits
- Real Farm automates TikTok slideshow content creation by sourcing images and generating videos, enabling arbitrage for building audiences that can drive traffic to software products or services
- AI Apply automates job applications across thousands of positions and includes interview coaching—serving 1 million users—though it raises fairness concerns for HR teams and creates an arms race where the platform is also building AI filtering tools
