Coaches, consultants and freelancers can turn their expertise into AI products that help clients get work done. I walk through four ways to do that: skills, plugins, an MCP server and a SaaS product. Using a personal branding coach as the example, I explain what the customer gets, what you have to maintain and where your own coaching or hands-on help fits.

We start with getting your process out of your head and into a skill, including the questions you ask, examples you approve and mistakes you catch. Then I show how plugins bundle that work, how MCP connects a client's AI to your service, and what changes when you run the whole software product yourself. I also cover the custom GPT transition and why the simplest option that solves your customer's problem is often the sensible place to start. The prices I mention are examples for explaining the offer structure.
