Introduction
Imagine rebuilding your business from scratch in just 90 days using AI. Inspired by a viral tweet, this guide shows you how to create a 5-member AI team that works 24/7 for a fraction of the cost of a single employee. We’ll cover the tools, workflow, and strategies to make it happen, tailored for entrepreneurs with basic coding skills.
What is an AI Team?

Sample Automation Script
Here’s a Python script to scrape competitor data and save it to a CSV:
import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import pandas as pd # Scrape competitor pricing url = “https://example-competitor.com/pricing” response = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, ‘html.parser’) prices = [p.text for p in soup.find_all(‘div’, class_=‘price’)] competitors = [{‘name’: ‘Example’, ‘price’: prices}] df = pd.DataFrame(competitors) df.to_csv(‘competitors.csv’, index=False) print(“Data saved to competitors.csv”)
