^{AI MARKET PULSE}
AI Is Creating a New Class of Work — and Skills Are Replacing Credentials

The labor market is shifting from titles to capabilities. New data shows AI has created over a million new roles in just two years, while demand for AI literacy is surging across nearly every function. As companies struggle to hire fast enough, workers are responding by prioritizing skills over traditional corporate paths. Learning time spent on AI is exploding, and “new-collar” roles are emerging where adaptability and technical ability matter more than degrees or resumes, signaling a move away from credentialism toward real, demonstrable capability.

So what does that mean for you?
Waiting to be hired is the risk. The same skills gap straining employers is creating opportunity for those willing to act:

• Learn practical AI tools companies can’t staff for
• Build services around implementation, training, or automation
• Compete on capability, not background or credentials

The market is already reshaping itself. Those who build AI skills now gain leverage, optionality, and control; those who delay stay dependent on roles that are changing faster than they can adapt. In the new-collar era, skills aren’t a bonus — they’re the entry point.

^{TODAY’S PROMPT}
Build a Digital Product From Scratch

This mega-prompt turns a vague idea into a clear, sellable digital product through a guided strategy framework. It maps positioning, buyer pain points, format selection, and pricing into a step-by-step plan — helping you decide exactly what to build, avoid overcomplicating the product, and create something people will actually pay for instead of guessing or getting stuck in planning mode.

👉 Use the prompt + check out my example output here

Clear Ask
Act as a senior digital product strategist who specializes in helping individuals turn vague ideas, skills, or interests into profitable, sellable digital products.
Your task is to create a clear, structured digital product blueprint that transforms an unclear idea into a product someone would realistically pay for.

Context & Purpose
I want to create a digital product, but I may:
• Have too many ideas or no clear direction
• Be unsure what people would actually pay for
• Not know how to package, price, or position my product
The purpose of this output is to:
• Clarify what to build and why
• Align the product with a real buyer and real pain
• Avoid overbuilding or creating something no one wants
• Produce a product concept that is simple, focused, and monetizable

The final output should take me from idea → positioned product → clear next steps, without guesswork.

Detailed Input Requirements
Before generating the product blueprint, ask me to provide (or use reasonable defaults if not supplied):
• Starting Point:
(An idea, skill, experience, problem you’ve solved, or area of interest)
• Target Buyer (If Known):
(Who you think this product might be for — or “unsure”)
• Primary Outcome the Buyer Wants:
(What result are they trying to achieve?)
• Your Credibility or Advantage:
(Why you’re qualified to create this product — experience, results, insight)
• Preferred Product Type (Optional):
(PDF, template, Notion system, prompt pack, mini-course, toolkit)
• Time Willing to Invest Initially:
(Low / Medium / High — affects scope)
• Monetization Goal:
(Side income, first online sale, replace income, validation only)

Output Requirements & Structure
Your response must be structured exactly as follows, using clear headers, bullet points, and concise explanations:

1. Core Product Idea & Positioning
• The single best product to build first
• The clear promise it makes
• What makes it different or valuable
• Who it is not for (to keep it focused)

2. Target Buyer & Pain Points
• Who this product is specifically for
• The top 3 problems they’re experiencing
• Why those problems are urgent or costly
• What they’ve likely tried already

3. Product Format Recommendation
Recommend the best format and explain why:
• PDF
• Template / Notion system
• Prompt pack
• Mini-course
• Hybrid
Include:
• Why this format fits the buyer
• Why it’s efficient to build
• What to avoid adding early

4. Pricing Logic & Strategy
• Recommended price range
• Why that price makes sense
• How to position value vs cost
• Simple upgrade or expansion path
• Avoid unrealistic pricing or hype.

5. MVP Scope (What to Build First)
• What the first version must include
• What can be excluded safely
• How long it should realistically take to build

6. Next 5 Execution Steps
Provide:
• Clear, sequential next actions
• What to do first, second, third
• Where to stop and validate

Additional Instructions
• Use plain, non-hype language
• Assume the user is building solo
• Optimize for speed and clarity over perfection
• Do not overcomplicate or overbuild
• Make the output immediately actionable
• Avoid generic advice like “do market research” without specifics

Perfect Output Every Time
Your final response should:
• Require zero rewriting
• Be understandable by beginners
• Produce a product someone would realistically pay for

Eliminate the excuse:
“I don’t know what to build.”

OpenAI Is Scaling Revenue as Compute Becomes the Growth Constraint

OpenAI’s jump to over $20 billion in annualized revenue confirms that AI monetization is now tightly coupled to computing capacity, not just user growth. Revenue more than tripled year over year as OpenAI dramatically expanded its compute footprint, pushing nearly two gigawatts of capacity to support soaring usage across text, images, voice, and APIs. With ads entering ChatGPT, new subscription tiers launching, and enterprise adoption accelerating, OpenAI is building multiple revenue layers to fund the capital intensity of AI at scale — signaling a shift from experimentation to operational maturity.

Key Takeaways:

• OpenAI’s annualized revenue surpassed $20B in 2025
• Revenue growth closely tracks rapid expansion in compute capacity
• Ads and tiered subscriptions are now core funding mechanisms
• Partnerships help keep the balance sheet flexible and asset-light

My Take:

This isn’t just strong growth — it’s structural validation. AI platforms aren’t limited by demand; they’re constrained by power, compute, and capital. OpenAI’s strategy shows that winning isn’t about owning everything, but about scaling usage while keeping infrastructure flexible. The real moat is the ability to turn compute into revenue faster than costs compound.

^{AI QUICK HITS}

🧑‍💼 A global PwC survey finds that while most CEOs have adopted AI, the majority haven’t seen real financial returns yet, revealing a growing gap between AI hype and results as companies invest more out of fear of falling behind than from proven payoff.

⚡️ Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella argues that cheap, reliable energy will determine which countries lead in AI, warning that without competitive power costs and globally focused output, even advanced economies risk falling behind in the race to turn AI compute into real economic growth.

🧑‍💻 OpenAI says it plans to launch its first hardware device in 2026, signaling a push beyond software as the company looks to embed AI more directly into everyday consumer and enterprise workflows.
