90 Plus Applications Built In One Event

Last week I had the ridiculously fun honor of speaking at Perry Belcher’s Growth Hacking Live—his first big one in a while—and we turned “vibe coding night” into a full-on app factory. With nothing but AI tools, a room of curious builders, and an irresponsible amount of caffeine, we shipped 40+ apps in a single session… and across the workshops the tally landed closer to 90 fully functional micro-apps. Wild.

Two things made it special:

• People shipped real stuff. Not idea boards. Not “someday” roadmaps. Actual mini-products they took home. Some scrappy, some slick—all alive.

• Proof of thesis: AI doesn’t replace you; it deletes the waiting room between your idea and Version 1.

I also finally unveiled TechStack—a simple, no-drama ticketing service for one-and-done tech needs. Open a ticket → our team builds/fixes → you get the result without adopting my sleep schedule. It now sits next to Arcytex, which places a trained HighLevel pro inside your team for dedicated hours. Ongoing horsepower? Arcytex. Quick win or mini-build? TechStack. And because community > commercials, the TechStack crew stayed late at the event building micro-apps for free.

On stage, I planted two flags:

1. Mass creation → Mass personalization (next 18 months). The winners won’t be the loudest—they’ll be the most relevant: offers, content, onboarding, support… tuned to the person, not the persona.

2. Micro-apps are the new landing pages. Tiny utilities that do one thing brilliantly—calculators, audit bots, “choose-your-path” tools—will out-convert generic forms because they deliver value before the opt-in.

Watching that room build confirmed both. Give a motivated human a clean prompt, a small guardrail, and an AI toolbox, and you don’t get “content”—you get capabilities. That’s the shift.

If you’re thinking “cool, where do I start?” steal my 4-step play:

• Pick one friction point your audience hits every week.

• Turn it into a micro-app (calculator, checker, planner, generator).

• Gate the output, not the experience. Deliver value, then ask.

• Personalize the follow-up based on their inputs (your first mass-personalization loop).

Now I’m taking this show on the road:

AI Marketing World — I’m Bringing Vibe Coding

I’ll have a table and we’re running an AI Vibe Coding session—rapid-build micro-apps, workflows, the whole “okay wow, that actually works” package. The speaker lineup is insane, and the show is built for doing, not just note-taking.
Bring: a problem worth solving, a Google doc, and your caffeine of choice.
Leave with: a working micro-app and a playbook to personalize it at scale.

GoHighLevel Level Up Summit — I’m Attending (and snagging some awards)

I’m not speaking this year, but I’ll be in the halls jamming on GHL + AI stacks, grabbing coffee, and yes—collecting some hardware. If you’re already in town for AI Marketing World, stick around and double dip. It’s the best place to connect AI, automations, and real client fulfillment under one roof.

Allie Bloyd’s Get Elevated LIVE — My “must-attend” pick

Hosted by my good friend Allie Bloyd—a smaller, implementation-heavy room focused on offers, paid acquisition, systems, and AI for scale. If you want two days where you actually build the assets you’ll use next quarter, go here.
Tickets (my link): alliebloyd.com/get-elevated?am_id=nunotavares3886

Why I’m recommending these: I only push rooms that return more than the flight and the hotel. Based on personal experience, these three do exactly that:

• AIMW: hands-on builds (come code with me).

• Level Up: HighLevel power moves you can deploy Monday.

• Get Elevated: sharpen the offer, ads, and delivery—leave with assets.

If you’re coming, tap me. I’ll be the guy talking about micro-apps like they’re puppies. Let’s jam on your first (or next) one, swap ideas, or just grab a coffee and build something tiny that moves your business forward.

🤖🤖 How to Build a Killer Chatbot in HighLevel (Without Losing Your Mind)

So, HighLevel just took AI chatbots from “cool experiment” to “why-isn’t-this-already-on-my-site?” levels of legit. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned funnel nerd with too many tabs open, the new chatbot builder is about to be your favorite productivity hack.

And guess what? It’s no longer a “read the docs and cry” kind of build. There’s a new, guided way and a more advanced power-user option—so you can pick your poison. Let’s break it down.

🧠 What's New (and Actually Useful)

You can now build AI chatbots in HighLevel from scratch—and with tools that do half the thinking for you.

Access My Custom Chatbot Prompt Creator Here

Here’s the fast-and-furious breakdown:

• Knowledge Bases now run the show
  Feed your bot custom info from websites, docs, and FAQs.
  🕷️ Crawling your site? Yep, there’s a built-in web crawler.
  📄 Upload Google Docs? Absolutely.
  🙋 Pre-load FAQs? Easy, and critical—because FAQs get first priority when bots answer.

• Custom GPT to Help Build Your Bot
  There’s a free custom GPT (thanks, legend) that asks a few questions and builds your brand voice, bot goals, tone, and intent.
  You just copy/paste your site text, and boom—it does the heavy lifting.

• Guided vs Prompt-Based Bot Creation

  • Guided Form Setup (easy mode):
    Great if you just want to book calls or answer FAQs. It’s plug-and-play and fast.

  • Prompt-Based Setup (advanced mode):
    Want to customize every sentence, fire off workflows, or sell mid-convo? This is your playground. You're basically training a mini AI team member.

• Primary vs Secondary Bots

  • Only one primary bot can run on a channel (like Live Chat).

  • Add secondary bots that only activate based on triggers (e.g., Instagram comment, VIP sales follow-up, etc.)

• Live Chat Widget Integration
  You can now:

  • Customize the welcome message

  • Set up appearance and logic

  • Control bot handoffs, data collection, and behavior

  • Install with a snippet or via Google Tag Manager

💡 Pro Tip: Let the Bot Be Aggressive (When It Should Be)

When you choose the “Appointment Bot,” it’s very focused. Like, "Would you like to book?" every five seconds. That’s a feature, not a bug. It’s meant to book—so let it do its job.

Want a softer touch? Go Q&A mode or create a separate bot for different workflows (like follow-ups, upsells, or handling FAQs). Remember: You can transfer between bots mid-convo, so there’s no need to stuff everything into one.

So, why should you care?

Because this turns HighLevel from a platform you use into a platform that works for you—24/7. Whether you want to book calls while you sleep, sell in the DMs, or just stop repeating your business hours, this is the tool to do it.

Your website should have more than a pretty form. Now, it can have a fully trained AI sales rep. Just remember to name it something cool. (Jessica the Bot is taken. Sorry.)

The AI Blueprint for Starting Any Business from Scratch (Even If You're 13)

No money, no experience, no excuses. Watch how we build a real business live using free tools and AI.

Doesn’t matter how old you are. Doesn’t matter how much you’ve got in your bank account. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never started a business before.

What you’re about to read is a step-by-step blueprint for starting any business from absolute zero — using only AI and free tools.

This is real. We built it live. No fluff, no funding, no fake numbers.

👇 Here’s the question we asked:

Not a theory. Not a pitch.

We hit record and actually did it — in real time. From creating a free Gmail account, to setting up a business model, to writing flyers and marketing copy, to building a website... all of it.

💡 Why this build matters

This isn’t just about starting a garage cleaning business (though that’s what we used as the live example).

It’s about learning how to:

✅ Start from nothing
✅ Use AI to fill the gaps
✅ Offer value in the real world
✅ Build something scrappy, simple, and scalable
✅ Learn skills you can apply to any business

If you’re 13? This is the blueprint.

If you’re 33 and starting over? This is still the blueprint.

If you're 50, laid off, broke, or just tired of waiting? This is absolutely the blueprint.

🧠 Step 1: Come Up With a Real, Doable Business

We asked ChatGPT to help us create a business that:

• A 13-year-old could do without a car

• Required no upfront investment

• Could generate real income in under 7 days

AI gave us back a gem: Garage Cleanup & Item Resale.

Simple. Clean. Honest. And high-value.

You offer to clean and organize someone’s garage, prep any trash for pickup, and split the profits of anything valuable you help them sell. You don’t even need a truck.

But remember — this is just a template. You could swap this out for dog walking, yard work, errand running, digital services, or freelancing — and the same blueprint works.

🔧 Step 2: Use AI to Build the Whole Thing

From pricing to copy to business planning, AI does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Here’s what we used ChatGPT for (on the free plan):

• 📋 Writing the pitch script

• 💬 Creating social media posts

• 🖨️ Designing flyer text

• 💵 Figuring out pricing models

• 💻 Building a website in Google Sites using free HTML

• 🧠 Coming up with how to introduce yourself (especially if you’re a kid)

We didn’t guess.

We didn’t “figure it out as we went.”

We asked AI every step of the way. And it worked.

📣 Step 3: Advertise for Free — And Get Customers Immediately

No paid ads. No fancy branding.

Here’s how we marketed the business:

• Nextdoor Post: Instantly visible to real neighbors in your area

• Facebook Groups: Especially local “buy nothing” or “community” groups

• Printed Flyers: 10 cents at the library. Drop them off on Friday. Knock on doors Saturday. Simple.

• Word of Mouth: Tell everyone you know. Real hustle still works.

• TikTok Reels: Record yourself organizing garages or before/after clips.

• Google Business Profile: For credibility, reviews, and long-term growth

This is hyperlocal customer acquisition, and it works better than any funnel.

If you do this right — you can land your first job within 48 hours.

💰 Step 4: Stop Thinking in Hourly Rates

AI gave us an initial price range ($10–15/hr), but here’s the truth:

We recommend switching to value-based pricing:

• Small garage: $199

• Medium: $299–399

• Large/messy: $499–$1000+

Why? Because if you help a homeowner recover $1,000 worth of valuable items — they just got your service for free.

And that means you can:

• Charge more

• Scale faster

• Hire help

• Flip more inventory

That’s how you go from a $100 job to a $2,000 weekend.

🧱 Step 5: Build the Brand as You Go

You don’t need a logo or a website to start. But here’s how we added free credibility using just our phone:

• ✅ Set up a Gmail + Google Sites website in 10 minutes

• ✅ Used ChatGPT to write the entire site

• ✅ Embedded it in a free Google Site

• ✅ Got a professional-looking landing page with zero tech skills

We even created a TikTok script and Instagram post from AI — all without writing a single line ourselves.

🙌 Final Thoughts

This build isn’t just about garages. It’s about freedom.

You can run this business on weekends. You can turn it into a side hustle. You can flip the model into junk removal, decluttering, or even organizing closets or pantries.

And the same exact blueprint — free tools + free AI + scrappy execution — applies to any service business.

If you’ve got access to a computer or a phone, you’ve got enough to launch something real this week. Share this with someone in need.

Even if you’re 13.

What to do this week (small bets, real gains)

• Spin up one Make.com loop: research → copy → creative → schedule → Slack KPI. Keep a human approver.

• Localize your top video: enable auto-dub; publish to one new region; track CTR + watch time.

• Standardize model choice: Run the same prompt on GPT, Claude, Qwen; log speed, cost, quality; set a house rule by task.

• Turn SOPs into training: Drop one SOP into NotebookLM → generate flashcards + quiz → share with new hires.

Pro Tip

Write the process, then add the model. Briefs, guardrails, and “definition of done” make average models feel world-class. Without them, even the best model ships mush.

If you want, I’ll fold this directly into the newsletter file and assemble the full issue with the HighLevel sections we already drafted.

AirPods Update: Live Translation, Camera Remote, Nap Mode—All Free

Alright, Apple just turned your old AirPods into tiny superpowers with a quiet firmware drop (8A356) alongside iOS 26. If you’ve got AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods 4 (ANC), you basically got a free upgrade pack. Here’s the fun stuff—no screwdriver required.

• Camera Remote on the Stem
  Press the stem to snap a photo or start/stop video (single-press or press-and-hold—your choice). Great for group shots when the tallest friend refuses to crouch.

• Live Translation (Beta) in Your Ears
  Pinch both stems to start real-time translation. Works best face-to-face, one-on-one. Languages right now: English (US/UK), Spanish, French, German, Portuguese. It even ducks the other person’s voice so you can hear the translation clearly. No subscription drama.

• Translation App Backup Plan
  If only one of you has AirPods, open Apple’s Translate app and let your phone speak out loud for you. Robotic diplomat mode: engaged.

• Auto-Pause When You Fall Asleep
  Your AirPods detect nap-state and pause the audio. Also turns your iPhone screen off so you don’t wake up to a battery at 2% and a podcast that thinks you’re on episode 143.

• “Fully Charged” Alerts
  You’ll get a notification when the case hits 100%. Unplug, flex, leave.

• Mic Glow-Up (Studio-ish)
  Call quality and quick voiceovers sound cleaner. He’s been using them for VO and nobody noticed. Sneaky content creators, rise.

• Apple Watch Battery Peek
  Glance at Battery on your watch to see AirPods juice. Pocket check, but for your ears.

• Shush the Workout Buddy
  Mid-set and your Apple Watch pipes up? Squeeze the stem to hush the chatter and keep the reps holy.

• CarPlay Plays Nice
  If you’ve got one AirPod in while driving, AirPods get mic priority over the car’s system—your passengers don’t need to hear your “we really should circle back” call.

• How to Force the Update (the low-tech way)
  Pop AirPods in your ears for a minute → back in the case → plug in the case → wait ~30 minutes. Check Settings ▸ [Your AirPods] ▸ Version and look for 8A356. If it’s there, you’re in the club.

• Where the Toggles Live
  Settings ▸ [Your AirPods] →
  • Assign camera control to press / press-and-hold
  • Translation (Beta) to enable + download languages
  • Sleep detection toggle to auto-pause

Short version: your earbuds just learned a new language, became a camera remote, watch you sleep (politely), and stopped oversharing on CarPlay. Not bad for a firmware update you didn’t pay for.

Now excuse me while I pitch “Earbuds Butlers” as a startup and retire on nap detection.
