Summary
This video lays out a practical process for becoming an AI consultant, drawing on the presenter’s experience running an AI automation consultancy, Leftclick, that reached around $70,000 per month. The pitch is that as AI automates more work, the role of helping businesses automate their own processes is among the most durable.
The method has six steps: find the company’s bottleneck, use goal factoring to break it into concrete actions, build systems that address those actions, deploy them, iterate using evals, and roll the results out across the organization. The presenter draws on Eliyahu Goldratt’s book The Goal and its theory of constraints, and stresses that only one of the six steps involves actual building, with the rest relying on analysis and common sense.
A worked example shows how a client’s ad set can be fed into Claude to generate many variations for testing, with Claude connected to the client’s ad accounts. The video also cites Anthropic’s comments on enterprise demand and U.S. Census Bureau data suggesting that only about 15 to 20 percent of U.S. businesses used AI between December 2025 and May 2026, pointing to a large untapped market for consultants.
