Build & Sell Simple AI Tools for Clients

The exact client workflow for selling simple AI tools — pick a niche, build in 30 minutes, demo it cold, and charge monthly to keep it running.

Build & Sell Simple AI Tools for Clients

Recommended tool

Base44

Businesses don't want to buy "AI" — they want little tools that solve one problem. Here's the client workflow I use to sell those tools, built on Base44.

The workflow

  1. Pick one niche (real estate agents, dentists, gyms — one at a time)
  2. Find the annoying task — ask: "what do you still do in Excel?"
  3. Build the tool in 30 minutes with a prompt from the Base44 Prompt Pack
  4. Record a 60-second demo walking through it
  5. Send the demo cold — "I built this for you, want it?"
  6. Deliver + charge monthly for hosting and updates

The pitch

Hi [NAME] — I built a [ROI calculator / quote generator /
client tracker] for [THEIR BUSINESS] and recorded a quick
demo: [LINK]. If it's useful, it's $500 to put your branding
on it and $50/mo to keep it running. If not, no hard feelings.

Tool ideas that sell (pick a niche, build one a day)

  • Real estate: mortgage affordability calculator, seller net-sheet estimator
  • Dentists: appointment cost estimator, insurance checker quiz
  • Gyms: 1-rep-max calculator, membership savings calculator
  • Coaches: client onboarding quiz, program-match generator
  • Contractors: instant quote generator, project timeline planner

How to make money with it

  • Make money online: $500–$1,500 per tool, built in under an hour (see the Base44 Prompt Pack pricing table)
  • Help your existing business: replace the spreadsheet chaos in your own company with tools your team actually uses
  • Offer it as a service: "tools-as-a-service" retainer — 3 tools + hosting for $1,000/mo per client
