How I Built a $280/Week Passive Income Business Using Free AI Tools

The Stack (All Free)

  • OpenHuman - AI agent with 118+ integrations
  • Ollama - Local LLM (qwen3:8b)
  • MiMoCode - CLI automation

What It Does

I automated my entire side business:

  1. Email Management - Auto-categorize + draft replies
  2. Content Repurposing - 1 piece to 5 formats
  3. Client Reporting - Auto-generated weekly
  4. Lead Tracking - Auto-score from emails

The Products

I sell 4 digital products on Gumroad:

Product Price Whats Inside
AI Toolkit $39 15 automation scripts
Prompt Pack $19 200+ business prompts
Notion Dashboard $15 AI-integrated template
7-Day Sprint $9 Step-by-step playbook

Results

  • Week 1: $280 (8 sales)
  • Week 2: $420 (12 sales)
  • Total cost: $0/month

How To Start

  1. Install OpenHuman (free)
  2. Install Ollama (free)
  3. Run the automation scripts
  4. Create Gumroad products
  5. Post on social media

The AI handles content creation, you handle strategy.
