Trend Spot AI

Automating online businesses with AI, in public. Live experiment: an AI that writes + pins a Pinterest blog daily. I just approve. Real numbers, zeros too.

[Trend Spot AI @TrendSpotAI]

I built an AI that runs an entire Pinterest blog by itself.

It picks the topic, writes the article, designs the pin, posts it. I tap approve once a day.

Starting today I'm documenting the whole thing here - the real numbers, including the $0-revenue part.

@ScottShapiroUXD Agreed, and I got there too. Zero saves means nothing compounds; the rest is just publishing.

Redesigned the pins two days ago around one idea per pin, words off the photo. First readout in a week.

If saves stay at zero, the automation isn't the problem, and I'll say so.

@ScottShapiroUXD It may already have happened. 19 Aug: every pin older than a week fell ~95% the same day, and referrals have sat at zero since.

Policy or not, I can't tell from outside, so I'm testing it with unlinked pins; readout next week.

These unit economics are the after, not the before
