Your expertise - accumulated over years of practice, mistakes, and insights - is raw material for products that can sell forever. The transformation requires identifying what you know that others need, structuring it for consumption, and packaging it in formats that deliver value without your presence. AI accelerates this process by helping extract, organize, and format your knowledge. Once built, these assets work while you sleep.
