Building a $30/Month AI Side Hustle Stack to Automate Proposals and Onboarding

A digital tools consultant shared his AI automation workflow built for just about $27 a month. By combining a scraper from GitHub, a cheap Claude subscription, a no-code database, and Zapier, he successfully automated client onboarding, proposal drafting, and competitor analysis.
The system compressed manual work that used to take 20 hours a week down to just 4 hours, without clients noticing the AI handling. However, the author also expressed anxiety over the rapid price drops of cheap Chinese LLMs, worrying that the barrier to entry for this micro-business will soon be erased.
