@DeRonin_ ELEVEN

[Ronin @DeRonin_]

5 startup ideas you can build and resell using only ElevenLabs Agents

each one costs $0.08/min to run and replaces $2-5k/mo in human labor

Let's break them down ↓

1. AI Receptionist for Local Businesses

dentists, salons, clinics, they all pay $2-3k/mo for someone to answer phones

build a voice agent that:

- answers calls 24/7
- books appointments
- handles FAQs
- speaks the client's language

who ALREADY uses it: ~31% of local service businesses
who STILL needs it: ~69% (your market)

white-label it, charge $300-500/mo per client
your cost per client: ~$30/mo in minutes

2. Multilingual Customer Support

ElevenLabs agents speak 70+ languages natively

e-commerce brands selling internationally need support in 5-10 languages minimum

one agent replaces a 5-person multilingual team

who ALREADY uses it: ~36% of e-commerce businesses
who STILL needs it: ~64% and most of them are mid-market brands scaling globally

sell 24/7 coverage, mark up the minutes, charge per-seat

3. AI Sales Qualifier (SDR Replacement)

voice agent calls inbound leads, asks 5-10 qualifying questions, books

meetings directly into the sales team's calendar

startups pay $4-6k/mo per SDR

you charge $1.5k/mo for an agent that works 24/7 and never misses a lead

who ALREADY uses it: ~27% of mid-market teams
who STILL needs it: ~73% and 22% already fully replaced human SDRs

plug it into any CRM like HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive

4. Restaurant Order-Taking Agent

phone ordering for restaurants, pizzerias, takeout spots

the agent takes the order, upsells sides and drinks, confirms, pushes to the POS

who ALREADY uses it: ~34% of restaurants
who STILL needs it: ~66% (expected to hit 50%+ in major cities this year)

build one integration template → sell to 100+ restaurants at $200/mo each

that's $20k/mo from one vertical

5. Real Estate Showing Scheduler

agents answer property inquiry calls, give listing details, qualify buyers, and book viewings (all mid-call)

realtors spend hours on phone scheduling

who ALREADY uses it: ~18% use voice AI specifically
who STILL needs it: ~82%

while 82% of agents already use some form of AI, almost none have voice agents

charge per listing or flat monthly

integrates with their calendar + CRM

--------

How to build any of these:

- sign up for ElevenLabs (startups get $4k free credits)
- pick your niche
- build the agent with their no-code platform
- connect it to GPT or Claude for the brain
- plug in scheduling/CRM via API
- white-label it under your brand

you don't need to build AI, you need to sell AI to people who don't know it exists yet

reply "ELEVEN" + RT and i'll send you a free guide so you can build this too

@lukepierceops PLAYBOOK

[Luke Pierce @lukepierceops]

Late 2024: AI agencies sold n8n workflows for $2-$5K.

Mid 2025: they pivoted to AI agents for $5-15K.

Today: Claude Code ships in hours what used to take weeks, and most agencies are still pitching 2024's playbook.

I spent 2 months rewriting mine for where we actually are in April 2026.

Inside:

→ The offer closing $25K-$60K projects right now
→ Top 5 industries worth selling to this quarter
→ Content schedule generating my inbound (exact post types + cadence)
→ LinkedIn + cold email sequences booking calls today → My 4-call sales process from first touch to signed
→ The strategy doc + proposal template I'm using to close
→ 3 live client builds my team is shipping this quarter

BONUS: First 100 people also get 2 discovery call recordings from my own sales process.

Like + RT + reply PLAYBOOK and I'll DM you the link. Make sure to follow me so I can DM you.

Also you: “Alexa, what’s my social security number?”

@PrestonPysh @stig_brodersen if my long-term goal is to manage a fund similar to the structure of @Greenbackd or @MohnishPabrai, is a series 7, series 24 or series 66 necessary? @jessefelder

@realDonaldTrump Do you think the US & China should have equal & fair rules for cars? Meaning, same import duties, ownership constraints & other factors.

[Karthik Balakrishnan @karthikb351]

Was slightly mindblown when I discovered this.

The two parts to the word “helicopter” are not “heli” and “copter”, but “helico” meaning spiral, and “pter” meaning one with wings, like pterodactyl.

@EconomPic @Wealthfront Is this the same for @Betterment ?

I lost my pregnant wife in a car accident. We laughed and celebrated at her wake. I lost 2 men in combat. Day later we were back in the fight and laughing about the close calls. Grief and recovery are complex and if you’ve never experienced it, don’t smear those that have. https://t.co/pVtaGquqof
