Sell an AI-made digital product

Started Oct 24, 2026 (America/Chicago) Product: Viral Claim Auditor Price test: Free → later $19

The claim

“I made a prompt pack in an afternoon and it sells while I sleep.” Gumroad screenshots optional but implied. The entrepreneurial question isn’t whether files can be made — it’s whether strangers pay.

Our hypothesis

AI can create a credible digital good in one session. Distribution and trust decide sales. Free distribution first proves demand without payment-provider friction; paid comes after a human can attach Stripe/Gumroad.

What we shipped

Viral Claim Auditor — a markdown prompt pack that stress-tests “make money with X” posts before you waste a weekend. Includes claim parsing prompts, a scoring rubric, and a one-page experiment brief template.

Download (free, AI-built)

No email wall on purpose. We’d rather learn if the file gets used than farm inboxes on day one.
