For all of 2025 I had a team working with me, Mike and Pat

I’ve also done it myself through various iterations

Point is I know the pain point of podcast production and publishing very well

The AI tools can now curate and coach automate most of the steps

What once took 2 to 4 hours will now be done in 15 minutes

It needs the right prompts

And approval

It it’s a huge compression of time with the same quality output

Another way of looking at it: as a solo entrepreneur you can now achieve a larger reach with the same inputs

I need to collect public data and put it into PDFs. Lots of data from various sources and to make the PDFs really useful it becomes complex. Part of a bigger project. Nothing that’s exciting. I am building some business specific tools. I think that’s what people will do if they are a 1 person ...

What I Learned Assessing 5 Australian Businesses for AI in 10 Days (JWP 121)

Ten days ago I sent an SMS to my warm network offering a free AI Business Assessment. Five business owners said yes. By Friday, I'd run five 20-minute calls, delivered five custom AI roadmaps, and identified between $1,560 and $17,400 of monthly value waiting to be unlocked.

Lewis, a construction and landscaping director in Melbourne, replied: "What once felt overwhelming now feels exciting."

This episode is the story of those 10 days — the SMS that started it, the five calls, the numbers, and the offer that's now live at: http://jakewoodhouse.io/ai-assessment

Chapters:
- 00:00 — Lewis testimonial
- 02:00 — Why I paused The Durable Man
- 04:30 — The Deloitte stat that flipped a switch
- 06:30 — The SMS experiment
- 09:00 — The five calls
- 14:00 — The numbers
- 17:00 — The system: Zoom → Claude → Gamma
- 19:30 — The offer & the guarantee
- 22:00 — The Rova experiment and AI slop
- 25:00 — Final thoughts & how to take this up

In This Episode:
- Why I paused The Durable Man and what my wife saw that I didn't
- The Deloitte Nov 2025 stat that flipped a switch (1 in 3 Aussie businesses don't know where to start with AI)
- The 60-word SMS that got an extraordinary reply rate
- Five businesses, five roadmaps:
- Mat (landscaping) — automating labour metrics on invoices
- Lewis (construction & landscaping) — AI for design mockups
- Paul (retail) — winning back time for marketing across 300 suppliers
- Tom (mould inspection) — compacting 12 hours of reporting
- Pete (accounting) — $17,400/month of billable time leaking into admin
- The system: 20 min Zoom → Claude → Gamma → 48-hour PDF
- Why the report pays for itself in month one (and why I'll refund if it doesn't)
- The Rova experiment and why human stories still beat AI slop

The Offer:
AI Business Assessment — $999 AUD
- 20-minute Zoom call
- Bespoke PDF report delivered within 48 hours
- Two tiers in every report: 4 low-hanging-fruit you can implement this week, 3 longer-term projects worth scoping
- Report-Pays-For-Itself guarantee — full refund if the monthly ROI identified doesn't exceed the cost

Thanks for sharing Jake🙏 This has really lit a fire in me and I’m going to pursue something similar in the UK.

Custom AI roadmaps in 20-minute calls raise concerns about data collection and surveillance. How did you ensure user privacy and data anonymization?

AI roadmaps for the elite, while small businesses are crushed by IMF-backed neoliberal policies.

Brilliant that you've got people rallying round already. What's the first thing you're tackling when the dev comes on board?

Bespoke health starts with ancestral diet, focusing on whole animal foods.

There are other experts here to get you going, but on high level install one of ai coding solutions (e.g. Claude Code) and ask it to write the app the way you want. It will first write a plan, pay a lot of attention to it and work with the AI on updating the plan first.
