This was a $30,000 AI deal — and most of it wasn't even AI

aryanXmahajan shared a closed $30,000 AI deal and notes that "most of it wasn't even AI" — implying the value came largely from consulting and integration work rather than pure AI. A useful data point for indie devs selling high-ticket AI systems to real businesses. Note the author follows up with a course opt-in funnel, so treat it partly as self-promotion.
