One of the most important things that you can do is surround yourself with other people that are doing big things.

I'm meeting the most incredible people here in Orlando at the AI summit.

Learning artificial intelligence is not just a one time thing, it's changing how you think about life.

Whether I'm getting prompt ideas from other people or I'm learning about specific case. Uses you really opens up my mind to possibilities of ways that change the way we operate.

The entire labor market is going to be replaced with artificial intelligence.

We need to be thinking about the way that we can integrate technology. And robotics into our life.

This is why it's so important for me to be in this conversation. And I'm so grateful that I can spend 3 days learning from other people. Networking and building relationships.

You don't have any conferences planned. I highly recommend you take the time to go to some of these conferences to learn how these things work.

I'm doing a class tomorrow at 1 PM. Where I'm gonna be uncovering exactly how to use LinkedIn with artificial intelligence. And if you want to join, you can be my guest.

I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

This selfie with Perry Belcher is real..

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐♏CEO, evyAI -AI LinkedIn™ Trainer, Business Development Training B2B Marketing via Ajax Union // Networking Connector, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, AI Expert, Single Father👭👨‍👦🧑‍🤝‍🧑

I just wrote an article with insights from AI BOT Summit 2026.. If you want to read it, please take a moment and see the article below.. BTW, these people are very hungry.. Im excited that I got to meet so many new friends and connect with old friends. 

The most interesting thing is connecting with NEW people that I never met before but that KNEW ME. 

Perry said something that struck me.. He said that if you DO NOT PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE ON CAMERA in the NEXT 24 months it will COST YOU MORE than in the NEXT DECADE. 

70% of Google searches in 2026 will result in NO CLICK (Zero-click advertising)

That means it COST YOU NOTHING but people consumed the content.. Perry Belcher was mentioning Frank Kern over and over about his OJOOY product. 

I keep seeing those ADS on Facebook over and over and over and all I see is his tattoos.. lol dont ask me why just what I notice.. 

People get their answers directly from AI or search results without clicking through

He said he is Buying 1 billion video views in 2026 - "I'm buying myself 1 billion video views this year" Litterally.. That is crazy. 

Using short-form video as sorting mechanisms - Views cost him 1-3 cents per view

Building fame in the industry - "You're buying yourself fame in the industry, and you can force that"

Retargeting based on video views - "He can retarget those people now based on the fact they watch the short video"

You become the content platform (via short-form video)

Force-feed attention through paid views (dirt cheap: 1-3 cents)

Build fame and recognition in your space

Retarget the engaged audience (they've already seen you, know you, trust you)

Make human connection first (AI handles the middle and backend)

THIS IS THE KEY.. that is why I always say 80% AI, 20% human, 100% authentic and profitable. 

Would you want to join me for the AI SUMMIT in 2027?

Insights from AI Bot Summit - AI Trends, AI Tips, AI Strategies for 2027

I am learning about the 100 trillion dollar opportunity right now with AI.. Very powerful stuff we are talking about.. Let me know if you want to catch the replay, its 3 days, 12 hours a day of learning and networking. 

Some notes from the first hour.. 

Video & Content Strategy:

Buy 1 billion video views at 1-3 cents per view as a sorting/targeting mechanism

Create short-form videos (60 seconds) that qualify specific audiences
Retarget people who watch 30+ seconds of your shorts

Lead with human content on the front end, use AI for everything in the middle

If using AI avatars, be transparent about it - don't try to hide it

Create 2 live videos per day for authentic human connection

Business Model & Positioning:

Position yourself as a "technology installer" - this is THE opportunity for 2026
Combine multiple AI strategies together (voice agents + video + CRM + funnels)

Create "business in a box" solutions for specific industries

Use software as lead magnets and tripwires

Target the $110 trillion labor market - help businesses replace/augment labor

Pricing & Value:

Establish premium "superhuman" pricing (Perry went from $15K to $25K/day)

Calculate your daily rate and ensure every day hits that target

Create a human premium tier for those who want 100% personal attention

Tech & Tools:

Get paid accounts for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, AND Perplexity (He didnt mention Grok, but dude, I LOVE IT.)

Learn vibe coding through Replit to build your own software

Code 70% of software using English prompts by 2026

Use AI research agents (7 mentioned for evyAI)

Marketing Approach:

Focus on AEO (AI Engine Optimization) not just SEO

Master zero-click advertising strategies

Build for experiential retail - local and handmade will become a flex

Elevate branding quality - hire premium designers for core assets

Do "stupid AI party tricks" at Chamber/networking events (Angela Norris from Ignite and the AI Bot Summit)

Main Street Opportunity:

Target mom & pop businesses being crushed by bigger competitors using AI

Position as solving automation, profitability, and ease of running business

Everyone is looking for "a good tech guy" - become that person

Deliver "AI in a Day" seminars at $20/person to 40-50 business owners

Partnership Option:

Tech Stack certified partner program launching January 19th

Area-exclusive licenses (1 per 250,000 people)

8-week AI Tech Advisor Accelerator

Split fees on work you can't handle yourself

Access to all sales materials, scripts, ads

The Big Picture:

We're heading toward a zero-labor world

Next 24 months: knowledge work replaced by AI

Following 36 months: physical work replaced by robotics

Either become an architect of this change or become a victim

Mission: Help save Main Street businesses in your community

They may be offering the LIVE STREAM.. lmk if you want accesss.. Also let me know what you want to learn. #aibotsummit

The 10-Question Framework to Find Million-Dollar App Ideas

Most entrepreneurs build apps nobody wants.

Here's why: They solve problems they think exist instead of problems they know exist.

I've built evyAI to 1,000+ users and scaled Ajax Union to Inc 500 by doing the opposite—listening first, building second.

Here's the exact interview framework I use:

Ask yourself (or your clients) these 10 questions:

1. Walk me through a typical workday. What 3-5 tasks do you do repeatedly?

2. What task makes you think "There HAS to be a better way"?

3. What software are you paying for that frustrates you?

4. If you could automate ONE thing in your business, what would it be?

5. What question do your clients ask you over and over?

6. What breaks in your business when you're away for a week?

7. Where do you waste money on labor that could be automated?

8. What would someone pay $50-500/month to NOT have to do anymore?

9. What do ALL your clients struggle with that they don't realize is a common problem?

10. Have 3+ people complained about the same thing in the last month?

How to use this:

→ Interview 10 people in your target market
→ Record their exact words when describing pain points
→ Look for patterns (3+ people saying the same thing = validated problem)
→ Focus on problems people already pay to solve

The best app ideas aren't clever—they're obvious once someone points them out.

Stop guessing. Start listening.

What's one problem you hear about constantly in your industry? 

Drop it in the comments—you might be sitting on your next business idea.

---

P.S. - This is how I identified the need for evyAI. LinkedIn users kept asking me 

"How do I personalize outreach at scale?"

100+ conversations later, I knew exactly what to build.

480 people are coming together today to learn about AI in 2026... The hunger is real.. From vibe coding sessions to AI agent training to hacks and AEO best practices...

Excited to bring back strategies to our community from the AI BOT Summit.

Ill be spending 12 hours a day networking,  learning and sharing with hundreds of people over the next three days.

Im excited about the opportunity that will follow from this.

Already talking to the GO High level team about the evyAI api intergration and building relationships 

What are you curious about related to AI?
