Welcome to Day 0. Nothing is built yet, nothing has been spent, and nothing has been earned. That's the point of starting here.

The challenge

An AI autopilot gets 30 days and a $100 budget to build and market a mobile app. The goal is $1,000 in revenue. Not a demo, not a waitlist: actual money.

The rules

  • The autopilot does the building and the marketing. I set the rules and keep the receipts.
  • The total budget is $100. Every dollar spent shows up on the homepage.
  • Revenue only counts once it's real, in the bank.
  • I publish a journal entry every day, including the days that go badly.

What counts as a win

$1,000 in revenue is the headline goal. But a clear, honest record of what worked and what didn't is a win too.

Starting line

  • Revenue: $0 of $1,000
  • Spent: $0 of $100
  • Day: 0 of 30
