Build With AI

Business, Entrepreneurship, Technology

Most AI podcasts talk about what's possible. Build With AI shows you how it's done, live. Each episode, host Corey Ganim brings on entrepreneurs and operators who share their screen and build real AI automations, workflows, and tool setups right in front of you. No boring slides. Nothing that hasn't been battle-tested. You'll watch actual implementations get built from scratch so you can follow along and do the same in your business. If you're a non-technical entrepreneur who wants to put AI to work without becoming a developer, hit play and build along with us.

    In this episode, I sit down with James Larson, a 23-year-old BYU student who took the AI assessment model upmarket with his two co-founders. He walks through the exact process that landed their first $15K/month retainer with a construction company, from warm intros and pre-call surveys to live demos built on the client's own work. You'll also hear how they priced it and how they get in front of $10M+ companies.

    In this solo episode, I break down how to build an AI business that gets stronger every time a new model drops instead of getting wiped out. I explain why wrapper apps, prompt packs, one-off automations, and "tool guy" positioning keep resetting to zero, and why AI assessments and AI concierge retainers compound with every release. By the end, you'll have a litmus test to run your current offer through and a simple loop for turning every model release into a reason to call your clients.

    In this solo episode, I explain why the AI automation agency model is already dead, and why it's following the exact same commoditization curve I watched play out in the Amazon FBA space from 2020 to 2025. I break down the four rules of a commodity market, why business owners don't actually want automation, and the two offers, the AI tools assessment and the AI concierge, that let your value go up as the models get better instead of down. By the end, you'll know exactly why to drop the word "automation" from your offer this week and what to replace it with.
