Scoble tests AI side income: Dola builds a sellable freelancer budget template
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-21
Robert Scoble ran an experiment: everyone wants AI side income, but almost nobody knows what to actually build. He asked AI assistant Dola to create something he could sell the same night — a budget spreadsheet template for freelancers — and shared the result in a thread. A useful example of the "start with something small and concrete" approach to AI side hustles.
