What this walkthrough gets you

You will build and look after AI chatbots for local businesses such as HVAC companies, dental practices, law firms and med spas, and get paid a monthly retainer to keep them running. The build takes a few focused days, and free trials carry you until a client pays, with about $115 a month in tools once you are running. Protect an hour a day for outreach and the walkthrough puts your first client 30 to 45 days away, with each client taking about an hour a month after that.
