Build specialised AI assistants for specific industries

Difficulty

Timeframe
2-3 weeks to first paid custom GPT
Potential earnings
£800-4,000 per build. Each sale is a real consulting sale, not a passive click.

Build custom AI assistants tailored to specific business needs, from customer service to internal knowledge bases, using tools like custom GPTs or Claude Projects.

Why it works

Generic AI tools don't understand specific business contexts. Custom GPTs trained on company data provide better, more relevant responses, saving employees time and improving customer service.

The catch

The build is the easy half. The hard half is a business trusting you with their internal documents and processes, which means references, patience and a bit of hand-holding. Nobody buys this from a cold DM.

Step by step

  1. Learn one assistant platform deeply (OpenAI's custom GPTs or Claude Projects)
  2. Identify a target industry with repetitive questions (real estate, legal, healthcare)
  3. Create a demo assistant solving a common industry problem
  4. Document the ROI (time saved, consistency improved)
  5. Pitch to 5 businesses in your target industry with the demo

Tools you'll use

  • ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro
  • OpenAI API or Claude API
  • Google Docs (for knowledge base compilation)

Chuck's pro tip

Start with industries you understand. A lawyer who creates legal GPTs or a real estate agent who creates property GPTs will have more credibility than a generalist.
