Build Custom AI Friends and Get Paid for It


Hey Hustler 🦊

My AC broke today. It’s 32°C.
I’m sweating like a raccoon in a sauna.
But you know what’s still hot? Today’s idea.

And this one could blow up it’s weird,
fun and people are already buying it.

You’re going to create AI friends
that people actually pay to talk to.

💡 The Idea

Create and sell AI Friends that feel real.
Think of them like:

  • A productivity buddy

  • A flirty text partner

  • A fake therapist (for fun)

  • A travel planner with a sassy personality

People chat with them, laugh, vent,
or just pass time and some pay monthly for the access.

And the best part?
You don’t need to code.

You just describe who the AI friend is
and tools like Character.ai or Chai do the rest.

🧩 How to Build It (Step by Step)

✅ Step 1: Pick a “friend” people want
Think in categories like:

  • Motivation coach

  • Texting girlfriend/boyfriend

  • Anime style tutor

  • Funny advice bot

✅ Step 2: Fill in the character profile
Use tools like Character.ai or Chai
and give your friend a personality.

Here's an example template:

Make sure it feels fun or helpful.

✅ Step 4: Share it

    $5-$20/month to access your best characters
